- RailOne
Indian Railways has just launched an all in one app called RailOne. Users can book tickets across IRCTC (reserved) and UTS (unreserved), which till date had to be done on different platforms. Besides this, the app offers other features such as train tracking, food ordering, PNR status et al
Improve the design of the homescreen to bring in standardisation and consistency to this screen. You may change the look, if that helps build more trust with the app. Also consider improving prioritisation of the elements, so that they reflect the users expectations of a railway ticket booking app.
Note: You need to design only 1 screen of the mobile app and only the highlighted section. Please do not use any annotations or explanations in your designs

The submission should be an image (png or jpeg). This can be exported from a design tool (such as Figma, Adobe XD etc) or any tool that you are comfortable using. However, please do not post hand-sketches or only wireframes, as the evaluation is on the quality of design output.
Note: Please do NOT add any annotations, explanation notes to the design. The output should be pure design.- These are design focussed challenges. So the evaluation is based on the quality of the design output. Given time constraints, we realise that putting out pixel perfect designs may not be possible. Hence, more weightage will be given to clear communication of the improvements (in terms of design) and an acceptable design quality. Wireframes and hand sketches are discouraged.
- Also, we expect basic design hygiene to be followed: alignment, font and color consistency et al
- Depending on the challenge context, you may choose to use/change the products design guidelines. We leave this discretion to you.
- We are NOT looking for ‘glitz designs’, if you get what we mean! Functional, quality output is what is needed
We will select a winner and a runner-up for each challenge.
