MeetUp on Building Apps Using Meteor.JS at Mantra Labs

On July 24, 2016, Mantra Labs organized a MeetUp at their Head-office in Bangalore. Mr. Atul Yadav was the lead speaker at the conference. He kicked off the MeetUp with the keynote Meteor and addressed why Meteor is becoming a mainstream framework? And why developers are going Meteor way. The MeetUp was attended by Web and Mobile development experts, who were eager to know why Meteor?

In his power point presentation he highlighted some of the major points that support developers for choosing Meteor.

He said, “Every developer is looking for a common framework that can be used for the web and mobile – to save time and effort. Meteor is one such framework that solves this problem for the developer community”. “At the same time, this also speeds up the development process for the client”, he added.

Why Meteor?

Meteor is the simplest possible app framework, yet fully-powered “gateway drug” into modern JavaScript development. Even if you don’t end up sticking with Meteor, your mind will be opened to new possibilities after spending some time with it.

Meteor has been built on concepts from other frameworks and libraries in a way that makes it easy to prototype applications. Even Angular and React are not as accessible to a wide range of developers as Meteor is, because of a steeper learning curve, and a bit more abstraction that requires more programming skills to use. Meteor on the other hand is easy to learn and quick to build with, as it is flexible and requires less code, which means less bugs and typically a higher quality and more stable end result.

This framework from JavaScript can help you to get a MVP built quickly, and the framework has the ambition to allow developers to scale their apps well beyond MVP-stage. It is establishing itself as a mainstream development technology on the same level as Rails or even vanilla Node.js.

The reasons why Meteor is hottest frameworks for development in today’s time. The 11 major point on Meteor were:

1. Real Time Web Development:
Meteor is a development framework that has got the distinctive feature of real time development.

2. Develop with a Single Language:
With Meteor, the development process is highly simplified with frontend, backend and database all rolled into one language – Javascript. Another benefit of this feature is that it works equally well for the client side as well as the server side.

3. Avail Smart Packages:
Meteor helps you to create users through and accounts system that is highly simplified. The system makes the process highly simplified. You can also use the smart package to do other things like: Writing CoffeeScript apps etc.

4. Large and Helpful Community:
Meteor has a large and helpful community for you to get on with the basics really fast. There is lots of proper documentation of the framework that makes it really useful.

5. Simplified For Developers:
Javascript is devoid of CSS, HTML and Javascript which makes the development process really simple in Meteor.

6. Easy To Learn:
There is enough community support and by just knowing a single development language, one can learn Meteor with ease.

7. Meteor Is The Framework Of The Future:
With features like real time development and ease of use for developers and users, Meteor is certainly the development framework of the future.

8. Meteor Is Easy To Set Up:
One can easily start creating projects in Meteor as soon as it is installed. This makes the process much simpler and faster.

9. Faster Development and Testing of Lean Products:
Start-ups are mostly looking to develop lean products which are quick to develop and can be test marketed equally quickly. Meteor provides suited solution for lean start-ups. They can create smaller product and test market it, in a short span of time.

10. Meteor for Native Mobile Apps:
A developer can build faster native mobile apps with Cordova integration using meteor.

11. Project Scalability:
Scalability is the prime concern of large projects run by enterprises. Meteor is a highly scalable framework and that is what makes it so highly preferred for large scale projects. In addition to that, meter is soon coming up with a hosting service which shall definitely be an add-on for businesses.

Mr Atul wrapped-up the MeetUp with these highlighted points. Over all the MeetUp was successful.

How Smarter Sales Apps Are Reinventing the Frontlines of Insurance Distribution

The insurance industry thrives on relationships—but it can only scale through efficiency, precision, and timely distribution. While much of the digital transformation buzz has focused on customer-facing portals, the real transformation is happening in the field, where modern sales apps are quietly driving a smarter, faster, and more empowered agent network.

Let’s explore how mobile-first sales enablement platforms are reshaping insurance sales across prospecting, onboarding, servicing, renewals, and growth.

The Insurance Agent Needs More Than a CRM

Today’s insurance agent is not just a policy seller—they’re also a financial advisor, data gatherer, service representative, and the face of the brand. Yet many still rely on paper forms, disconnected tools, and manual processes.

That’s where intelligent sales apps come in—not just to digitize, but to optimize, personalize, and future-proof the entire agent journey.

Real-World Use Cases: What Smart Sales Apps Are Solving

Across the insurance value chain, sales agent apps have evolved into full-service platforms—streamlining operations, boosting conversions, and empowering agents in the field. These tools aren’t optional anymore, they’re critical to how modern insurers perform. Here’s how leading insurers are empowering their agents through technology:

1. Intelligent Prospecting & Lead Management

Sales apps now empower agents to:

  • Prioritize leads using filters like policy type, value, or geography
  • Schedule follow-ups with integrated agent calendars
  • Utilize locators to look for nearby branch offices or partner physicians
  • Register and service new leads directly from mobile devices

Agents spend significantly less time navigating through disjointed systems or chasing down information. With quick access to prioritized leads, appointment scheduling, and location tools—all in one app—they can focus more on meaningful customer interactions and closing sales, rather than administrative overhead.

2. Seamless Policy Servicing, Renewals & Claims 

Sales apps centralize post-sale activities such as:

  • Tracking policy status, premium due date, and claims progress
  • Sending renewal reminders, greetings, and policy alerts in real-time
  • Accessing digital sales journeys and pre-filled forms.
  • Policy comparison, calculating premiums, and submitting documents digitally
  • Registering and monitoring customer complaints through the app itself

Customers receive a consistent and seamless experience across touchpoints—whether online, in-person, or via mobile. With digital forms, real-time policy updates, and instant access to servicing tools, agents can handle post-sale tasks like renewals and claims faster, without paperwork delays—leading to improved satisfaction and higher retention.

3. Remote Sales using Assisted Tools

Using smart tools, agents can:

  • Securely co-browse documents with customers through proposals
  • Share product visualizations in real time
  • Complete eKYC and onboarding remotely.

Agents can conduct secure, interactive consultations from anywhere—sharing proposals, visual aids, and completing eKYC remotely. This not only expands their reach to customers in digital-first or geographically dispersed markets, but also builds greater trust through real-time engagement, clear communication, and a personalized advisory experience—all without needing a physical presence.

4. Real-Time Training, Performance & Compliance Monitoring

Modern insurance apps provide:

  • On-demand access to training material
  • Commission dashboards and incentive monitoring
  • Performance reporting with actionable insights

Field agents gain access to real-time performance insights, training modules, and incentive tracking—directly within the app. This empowers them to upskill on the go, stay motivated through transparent goal-setting, and make informed decisions that align with overall business KPIs. The result is a more agile, knowledgeable, and performance-driven sales force.

5. End-to-End Sales Execution—Even Offline

Advanced insurance apps support:

  • Full application submission, from prospect to payment
  • Offline functionality in low-connectivity zones
  • Real-time needs analysis, quote generation, and e-signatures
  • Multi-login access with secure OTP-based authentication

Even in low-connectivity or remote Tier 2 and 3 markets, agents can operate at full capacity—thanks to offline capabilities, secure authentication, and end-to-end sales execution tools. This ensures uninterrupted productivity, faster policy issuance, and adherence to compliance standards, regardless of location or network availability.

6. AI-Powered Personalization for Health-Linked Products

Some forward-thinking insurers are combining AI with health platforms to:

  • Import real-time health data from fitness trackers or health apps 
  • Offer hyper-personalized insurance suggestions based on lifestyle
  • Enable field agents to tailor recommendations with more context

By integrating real-time health data from fitness trackers and wellness apps, insurers can offer hyper-personalized, preventive insurance products tailored to individual lifestyles. This empowers agents to move beyond transactional selling—becoming trusted advisors who recommend coverage based on customers’ health habits, life stages, and future needs, ultimately deepening engagement and improving long-term retention.

This mobile-first solution empowered agents to close policies faster with significantly reduced paperwork and data entry time—improving agent productivity by 2x and enabling sales at scale.
