India, 6th March 2025: In an era of instant messaging, the charm of handwritten postcards continues to hold a special place. Tummoc, a public transit app in collaboration with India Post and RV Travel Memoirs, has launched a unique initiative to encourage people to slow down, reconnect, and send thoughtful handwritten messages with Send a Card to a Friend Day campaign.
The campaign features beautifully designed Bengaluru-themed picture postcards illustrated by RV Travel Memoirs, capturing the essence of public transport in the city—BMTC buses, metro stations, and the everyday commute that connects people across Bengaluru. These postcards are available free of cost at GPO Bengaluru, allowing anyone to pick one up, write a heartfelt message, and send it to a friend or loved one. The initiative aims to reignite the nostalgia of handwritten letters while celebrating the city’s rich public transport network.
Monalisha Thakur, Co-founder and CMO, Tummoc, said, “Sending a postcard isn’t just about the message but about the time, thought, and feeling behind it. In a world of instant communication, this campaign was our way of bringing back that warmth while celebrating Namma Bengaluru.”
At Tummoc, connecting people is at the heart of what we do—whether it’s helping commuters navigate public transport seamlessly or reviving the joy of handwritten communication. This collaboration with India Post bridges tradition and technology, encouraging people to take a moment to create something personal and meaningful. By combining modern urban mobility solutions with traditional methods of communication, this initiative highlights the significance of pausing amid digital noise to engage in genuine human connection.
Anyone can visit GPO Bengaluru to pick up a free Bengaluru-themed picture postcard. Participants can write a heartfelt note and drop it off at the post office, where India Post will ensure it reaches its recipient, bringing a smile to their face.
This initiative underscores the importance of small yet impactful gestures in today’s fast-paced world. A simple handwritten message can create a lasting memory, strengthening personal connections and reviving an age-old tradition. Tummoc invites Bengalureans to celebrate their city, its public transport, and the joy of thoughtful communication—one postcard at a time.
