In India, the conversational commerce market is poised to record strong growth over the next five years. Ever since the pandemic outbreak, the industry has been recording consistent growth in the country. Driven by increased smartphone and internet penetration, WhatsApp and Instagram are projected to further lead the growth of the conversational commerce industry in India from the short to medium-term perspective.
Furthermore, the rise of e-commerce and online marketplaces has made it easier for businesses to reach a wider audience and sell their products and services online. This has led to increased competition, which has incentivized businesses to adopt new technologies like conversational commerce to differentiate themselves from their competitors. With the continued growth of e-commerce and the increasing importance of customer experience in the digital age, PayNXT360 believes conversational commerce will continue to thrive in India in the next five years.
Conversational commerce startups are raising funding rounds from venture capital and private equity firms
Although in the early stages of development, the conversational commerce market has also attracted the eyes of venture capital and private equity firms. To improve their product offering and drive growth and scalability, conversational commerce startups are seeking to raise funding rounds in India.
• In November 2022, Gall box, the conversational commerce platform, announced that the firm had raised US$1.2 million in a seed funding round, which was led by Prime Ventures and included participation from the 100x Entrepreneur Fund. The no-code conversational commerce platform enables small and medium-sized businesses to increase their sales through WhatsApp.
• Since its inception in 2021, the conversational commerce platform has processed approximately 50 million messages. Although it currently offers support for WhatsApp, the firm is also exploring the possibility to extend the service to other social media platforms such as Instagram and Messenger. This will enable the firm to target a higher base of small and medium-sized enterprises.
From the short to medium-term perspective, PayNXT360 expects more such innovative conversational commerce firms to raise funding from venture capital and private equity firms in India. This will also aid innovation and the competitive landscape in the growing conversational commerce sector.
