Haptik will also try to make use of Times Internet’s reach of over 150 million engaged users, so that the service can be offered to a wider audience.
Using Haptik, users can get their daily tasks done by chatting with assistants, which can ease tasks like online shopping, travel bookings, food delivery, restaurant reservations, and best mobile plan recharges.
“We started Haptik so that consumers could get the most out of their phones, without the huge learning curve of navigating hundreds of different apps. Ordering food or checking into a flight should be as easy as asking for it, and that’s what Haptik can do,” said
Talking of Haptik, Gautam Sinha, CEO of Times Internet, said, “Haptik is a magical experience for consumers, and it’s part of a growing global trend towards chat-based commerce. They have great affinity amongst their current users, and we hope to help them continue to innovate on the service, while expanding their userbase.”
