Bangalore: October 26, 2015: After the success of several tech meet-ups in Mumbai, Teamchat – the smart messaging platform organized the TC Tech Meet-up in Bangalore. The event witnessed a huge response from the emerging start-ups across the city. Over 60 developers, product visionaries and entrepreneurs from leading e-commerce companies gathered recently at the Royal Orchid Central Hotel in Bangalore to participate in the discussion around ‘Chat is the future of e-commerce’.
The discussion centered on how chat is slowly becoming the preferred way of commerce as evidenced by Flipkart Ping, Quikr Next, Shopo, Helpchat, and many more. Wechat has been a leading example of chat-based commerce in China for a long time now. Commerce is about much more than picking an item from a catalog and clicking the buy button. Sometimes, consumers want to ask their friends’ opinion before making a decision, especially if it’s a joint-use product like furniture, or a fashion-related category like apparel or jewelry. If the conversation is not handled well at any stage of the purchase cycle, the merchant will lose the sale. Depending on the context, enabling chat between buyer and seller, buyer and support, buyer and expert, buyer and friends, support and delivery teams can dramatically improve the shopping experience. Furthermore, e-commerce developers are also building messaging bots that enable automated interactions with consumers in scale. Chat is the simplest and the most natural interface for consumers. Chat builds trust, offers convenience, and transforms the shopping experience.
The meet-up focused on future trends in chat-based commerce.
Speaking on the meet up, Mr. Nimesh Mehta, Director – Technical Architecture, Teamchat said , “We are extremely delighted to see the response for our TC Tech Meet-up in the tech capital of India. Our efforts aim to provide opportunities to the start-ups and entrepreneurs to come together and discuss the emerging technologies in the start-up eco-system. The current trends show that chat will radically transform commerce. Chats can deliver higher conversion rates, customer satisfaction and can significantly improve the shopping experience.”
Further on the meetup, Mr Anant Wadhokar, Director Engineering, Veritech Infosystems Pvt Ltd explained that Veritech infosystems is developing a solution wherein mobile payments can be enabled by taking a ‘selfie’ and the photo verification is done on the spot and thereby long wait for billing can be avoided. Further to the TC meet-up he said “We are pleased to be a part of the TC meet up wherein we are able to network with the young generation entrepreneurs and developers. We look forward to more such events.” Corporate Comm India(CCI Newswire)
