Sheth mentioned in a statement, “Customers expect to converse with businesses the way they do with friends. They expect the conversation to be simple, easy, quick, contextual, and personalized. Gupshup’s mission is to build the tools that help businesses better engage customers through mobile messaging and conversational experiences.”
The company claimed that it is the application programming interface that enables more than 100,000 developers and businesses for building messaging and conversational experiences “delivering more than 6 billion messages per month across 30+ messaging channels.” However, it claims that the annual rate is $150 million.
Sheth in an interview said, “It’s like having a personal assistant that goes through your texts and gives you the important information. Gupshup is taking the mess out of messaging.”
