“The pandemic has entirely altered consumer behaviour and has accelerated the need to track insights faster for the hypercompetitive offline smartphone retail market. We will continue to take a unique discovery approach and make BI insights delivery seamless for brands, retailers and marketers. With new mergers and key smartphone players eyeing to double their offline presence, offline retail will dominate smartphone sales in the coming months and marketers will seek closer and in-depth insights to tap its intrinsic growth potential. We will be betting big on that,” Kunal added.

There is a latent need for such near real-time multi-dimensional data mapping using AI/ML modules in marketing and PredictiVu’s perfect blend of concepts, experience in delivering BI insights and outcome-driven approach makes them extremely suited to lead India’s next level data interpretation need.”
