Through the Program, we aim to help startups to lay the groundwork for long-term retention, in setting the right dashboards and running highly personalized engagement across channels."

These startups include now known brands such as Fampay, Mudrex, Bare Anatomy, Phool, Air Black, Crejo, among others. The Program has helped increase the brands' user engagement, retention and transactions alongside growth in their user base. For example, Fampay witnessed a 2X improvement in the onboarding funnel, a 22% increase in transactions made by the teenagers and a 40% boost in the number of referral users. Another social impact D2C brand Phool saw 23% increase in its revenue.
