Bengaluru Aug 2022: Legacy brand Kankatala Sarees, known as the ‘Queen of Sarees’ brings Hand woven Sarees of India Exhibition & Sale exclusively for Bengaluru from 5th to 7th August 2022 at Raintree, Bengaluru. The brand will showcase the signature Kanchipuram Marvels along with one of a kind Banarasi, Paithani, Patan Patola, Gadwal, Kota and many more handwoven weaves handpicked by Kankatala family from across 40 weaving clusters of India specially for Saree connoisseurs of Bengaluru! The brand will also host an exclusive range for Lakshmi Puja.
Kankatala has been constantly working towards curating best weaves for their patrons and like most of their patrons; their weavers too, have been associated with them for 3 generations. This event is going to be their first display in Bengaluru since the launch of their Jayanagar store. Every saree hosted at the event captures the timeless artistry that has been passed on from one generation of artisans to another and is a piece of heirloom that only a true connoisseur of Indian handloom can appreciate.
Mr. Anirudh Kankatala, Director, Kankatala Sarees Said “We have been hosting handloom exhibitions at Raintree since before we even launched our store in Jayanagar. Though we origin from Vizag and have strong presence in Andhra and Telangana, Bengaluru has always shown us love. I am hoping that we will get a good response from this exhibition.”
Bengaluru, August 3rd , 2022: Bengaluru-based Convin.ai, a leading AI-driven platform that reimagines virtual assisted selling for businesses, today announced that it has launched an AI-powered agent assist platform that automates agents’ training by accessing agents’ call skills and suggesting them with call recording from its library. Using the new platform not only can new agents be ramped up in one-third of the time, they can uncover winning trends, which leads to 25-30% improved bookings and 30% increase in CSAT. Convin’s agent assist platform for automating agent training and improving closure rate is supported by two pillars – 1. Automated quality management and 2. Call behaviour analysis. Automated quality management analysis scores the call based on the contact center’s responses, interruptions, and custom call parameters, which helps the agents uncover their skill gaps. Then the platform suggests call recordings for training. And Call behaviour analysis enabled by sentiment analysis helps uncover the outcomes of the deals(wins and losses). Convin’s AI-powered platform also has a proactive and a red alert mechanism, which are set for any custom topic and negative sentiment during the call.
Speaking on the platform, Bharat Patidar, Co-founder & COO, Convin, said, “Hospitality is a customer experience driven industry, where customers demand high quality and instant services. Any negative experiences not only leaves a bad impression but also negative word of mouth which impacts significantly. We help leaders understand how their interactions affect the end-users (customers), how they can improve to beat competition, increase bookings & gain positive word of mouth.”
As people booking trips and vacations surge with travel opening up, there is immense competition between hospitality players to improve their bookings to quickly recover the lockdown losses. It means that agents in the industry are loaded with calls. Dealing with customers to sell them packages or perhaps resolving issues at hand with a fast-tracked, scalable call monitoring system and training programs for understanding the changing buying trends are really the need of the hour. Archaic manual agent training techniques like call shadowing are time-consuming, end up costing players and lastly, difficult to implement with the hybrid working model. Convin solution tackles all these challenges and disrupts the archaic call center operations with its agent assist platform that records, transcribes, analyzes, and stores the contact center calls, automating agents’ training, call monitoring and reporting.
About Convin.ai: Bengaluru-based Convin was founded in 2021 by IIT-Delhi alumni Ashish Santhalia (CEO), Bharat Patidar (COO), Atul Shree(CTO) & Durgesh Choudary (CPO) who found crucial business data generated during customer interactions were either lost or saved in silos. On top, available solutions were too expensive and not holistic. They developed a holistic solution for both sales professionals and call centers to uncover crucial business data and automatically assess the call performance of agents. Convin has since helped companies across verticals like Planet Spark, Thomas Cook, Aakash Institute, and Medi Buddy with its’ platform to improve sales. It received pre-seed funding from Titan Capital and 9Unicorns in June 2021. for details visit https://www.convin.ai
