"The global retail industry is currently experiencing a generational shift. The future always lay in e-commerce and the pandemic only accelerated this shift. Shopify has offered online retailers a safe space to grow and in the process has become a huge entity – worth over $100 billion and harboring multiple Unicorns within its own ecosystem," said Arpit Gupta, co-founder of RetainIQ.
"As acquisition costs continue to grow for e-commerce brands, customer retention is coming into prominence. We're really excited to back RetainIQ to solve the retention challenge that we think can lead to a massive opportunity. We believe their team of repeat founders have the right background and expertise to address this problem," said Subrata Mitra, partner at Accel Partners India.
