Problem
Silent churn is expensive
Acquiring a customer in India costs 5–8× reactivating one — yet most brands send one email and give up. Lapsed buyers in tier-2 cities never see English win-back campaigns. Manual telecalling win-back is sporadic and off-brand.
Today

- 2Discount code in SMS — feels generic, no conversation.
- 3Sales team too busy with new leads to call lapsed list.
- 4No vernacular outreach — Telugu buyers ignored.
- 5Reactivated customers churn again — no objection captured.
