Commenting on the growth, Dr. Anshu Jalora, Founder and MD of the Mumbai-based company said, “The pandemic-induced growth especially in our Retail and Ecommerce segments, has been purposeful as we had anticipated that the demand would surge. In line with our annual growth plan we also doubled our team size and significantly invested in our R&D on home-grown Machine Learning power-ups and marketing to ride the wave.” He further added, “The pandemic has benefited the company as demand ‘breaks through the roof.’ The reason being that the industry became more acceptable to leverage automated solutions that leverages on Value, Velocity and Variety to sail through the sudden changes brought by Pandemic. The quick transition and ever changing consumer behaviour gave way to surge in demand for competitive pricing, need for effective promotions and customized solutions for effective decision-making, specially in the retail sector. Our AI model, which has the capability of carrying over 3 billion pricing decisions daily, helps brands increase their revenue by 30% post implementation.”
