How is Nine different from Whatsapp?
Sai alumni have deep emotional connections with each other given the bonds we developed in our student days. We believe universal platforms and apps are not suited to provide the sense of community and the focus on helping others, and each other, that the Sai alumni need.
Some examples:
– Nine currently supports groups of up to 5000 members. By comparison, Whatsapp can support groups of only up to 256 members
– Nine facilitates community-wide announcements specially tailored to the alumni community – thus eliminating duplication of messages across groups (a major frustration of Whatsapp)
– Enables an advanced Search for alumni by real, actual details like: name, batch, current location and employer.
