The COVID-19 pandemic has been a game-changer for businesses across the globe, leading them to push their boundaries and explore new opportunities when the odds are stacked against them. The paradigm shift in the world order has also had a profound impact on consumer behaviour and the way they interact with brands.

Given the uncertainty around them, consumers are prioritising the speed, ease and seamless user experiences of digital channels over traditional approaches that most brands are used to. Sensing the pulse of the consumer, businesses are veering towards digital-first solutions to not just gain a competitive advantage but also to stay agile and innovate faster.

As more brands embrace digital-first strategies for customer experience and engagement, their interest has paved the way for accelerated adoption of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and modern messaging. Be it AI chatbots interacting with clients to self-service solutions, digital innovation has transformed customer interactions by boosting efficiency of client servicing teams. According to a Gartner survey, two-thirds of all customer experience projects across the globe will be leveraging IT by 2022.

Freshworks’ ‘RE:SOLVE’ summit is an event that aims to bring together multiple stakeholders of the Indian startup ecosystem and catalyse the digital reinvention of customer experiences and ensure customer delight.

The event will be organised on August 26, 2021 and will include insightful sessions featuring Freshworks’ marquee customers where these brands will share their growth journeys while deploying the SaaS platform’s future-ready solutions.
