How have you simplified the process for even the smallest of businesses to go digital?

Instamojo has helped the smallest of businesses by providing the easiest end-to-end full-stack solution to build their own online businesses. We offer all ecommerce business solutions on a single platform. The online store at Instamojo has helped businesses sell online with their own ecommerce storefront, catering right from shipping with doorstep pickup and delivery, to marketing tools and facilities for brand discoverability. We also simplify the payments process and paying online is hassle-free with our flexible payment solution. Collecting payments online easily and faster payouts to run online businesses have simplified the process more with secure web hosting and payments. Further, insightful webinars and video guides designed for SMEs that cover all aspects of the business along with access to free ebooks are some facilities that assist small businesses and entrepreneurs in their business journey. In-line with the same, we have designed Mojoversity, India’s first learning platform for forward thinking entrepreneurs and SMEs, demystifying and simplifying the process for businesses to go online.

How are you leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning and other emerging technologies?

We use machine learning for precise targeting of users for advertising, as well as qualifying new leads for better engagement with our on boarding teams. Machine learning models are also used for predicting risky behaviour and reduce potential disputes of merchants collecting payments on Instamojo.

As an organisation, how focused are you on constant innovation to offer the best in class solutions?

Continuous behavioural analysis of our users is used to determine new features and solutions that’d be instrumental to their growth. We continue to release upgrades that make new user on boarding easier and faster and provide a business in any category with fast and affordable solutions to enable e-commerce for their brand.
