Nisha Harshwal:-How have you seen your company grow since establishment in 2016?
Mr Ajay Kashyap:- We started with one lead client in July 2016 (Nearbuy), and have made the following progress since then:
: We are working with 10+ clients now
: We have delivered 300 Million + personalized impressions to their customers
: We have delivered 30%-40% increase in conversions with these personalized impressions
: We have improved the algorithms by adding a lot more nuances of the customer preferences, such as
: Impact of weather on preferences
: Impact of recent purchases as compared to older purchases
: Impact of context on preferences (like day of week, month of year, location etc.)
: Raised 2 rounds of seed funding
: Working with a team of 16 people
Nisha Harshwal:-Whom do you consider as your most highly rated competitor and why?
Mr Ajay Kashyap:- We are the world’s only Plug & Play omni-channel true personalization engine. We have the first-mover advantage.
Nisha Harshwal:-How Artificial Intelligence helps in solving most critical problems instantly?
Mr Ajay Kashyap:-AI allows a machine to mimic the most important power of humans – to take decisions; and then tops it up with an enormous level of scalability. Hence, it allows enterprises to solve some of their most critical decision-making problems at scale.
As an example, our product allows e-commerce companies to identify the most personalized and relevant products for each individual by crunching terrabytes of data on powerful compute engines. This mimics your traditional neighborhood shopkeeper who would understand your needs, your wants and your passions, and then present the products relevant to you. Except that, our product uses AI to process the same for 1000’s of customers per second, and is able to cater to nuances that humans cannot think of.
