MoEngage Leverages Personalization to Solve the Engagement Challenge for Brands

MoEngage Leverages Personalization to Solve the Engagement Challenge for Brands

Insights-led customer engagement platform MoEngage made its Finovate debut at FinovateFall 2019 in New York. Three years later, the company returned to the Finovate stage for FinovateEurope 2022 in London. At this year’s conference, MoEngage demonstrated its full-stack solution featuring customer analytics, automated cross-channel engagement, and AI-driven personalization.

“71% of banking customers expect to receive personalized digital offers yet banks fail to do so because they have data silos,” MoEngage Senior Director Saket Toshniwal said during his demo at FinovateEurope in March. “We are here to solve that (problem), leveraging MoEngage.”

Founded in 2014, MoEngage enables hyper-personalization at scale across multiple channels including mobile, email, SMS, web, on-site and in-app messaging, and more. The MoEngage platform leverages AI-powered automation and optimization to enable brands to analyze behavior and serve consumers with personalized communications at every stage of engagement.

“Using MoEngage technology to create effective campaigns based on customers insight will increase your engagement, increase retention, and definitely increase your revenue,” Toshniwal said.

And while MoEngage’s return to the Finovate stage was certainly a big deal for the company, we’re willing to bet that the $77 million raised at the end of May represents an even bigger deal for the San Francisco, California-based firm. The Series E round, led by Goldman Sachs Asset Management and B Capital, represents the third round of funding raised by MoEngage in the past year. The company secured $23.5 million in July 2021 and another $30 million in December of that year.

Also participating in the round were existing investors Steadview Capital, Multiples Alternative Asset Management, Eight Roads Ventures, and Matrix Partners India. MoEngage said in a statement that it would use the new capital to deepen its presence in the U.S., Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, as well as fuel its expansion into new markets in Latin America and Australia. The investment also will give MoEngage the ability to pursue strategic acquisitions that would extend the platform’s capabilities and bring greater value to users.

“Our rapid growth and the leadership position is a validation that consumer brands today are moving beyond campaign-centric tools and adopting an insights-led multi-channel approach to customer engagement,” MoEngage CEO and co-founder Raviteja Dodda said when the Series E was announced. “We now have over 1,200 customers in 35 countries and more than 650 employees across our offices in the U.S., U.K., Germany, UAE, India, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand.”

MoEngage Helps India’s Biggest Online Supermarket Keep Customers

MoEngage Helps India’s Biggest Online Supermarket Keep Customers

A new partnership between intelligent customer engagement platform MoEngage and bigbasket, the largest online supermarket in India, is the latest example of how automation and AI are helping merchants increase customer loyalty.

The San Francisco, California-based company, which demonstrated its technology at FinovateFall in September, will enable bigbasket to send personalized offers, recommendations, and order updates to its customers over multiple channels including push, email, in-app messaging, web push, and SMS.

Two of MoEngage’s solutions will play an especially big role in helping bigbasket enhance its customer retention efforts. MoEngage’s journey builder solution, Flows, will enable bigbasket to leverage automated workflows to send highly-relevant marketing messages to customers based on their preferences and transaction history. MoEngage’s AI Engine, Sherpa, will automatically optimize the content of marketing messages and determine the ideal time to send those messages in order to maximize open rates.

The importance of message consistency and personalization was underscored by bigbasket Head of Digital Marketing Anand Bhaskaran who called it “key” to improving customer retention. “We hope to leverage MoEngage’s capabilities to segment our customer base, map their journey, craft personalized messages at each stage of our customer’s lifecycle, and automatically deliver these messages at the right time.”

MoEngage CEO and co-founder Raviteja Dodda agreed. “We are confident that MoEngage’s product features such as Flows, Sherpa, and Push Amplification+ will not only help bigbasket increase its reach, but also provide a personal touch to their communications across the web, mobile, and email,” Dodda said.

Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Bangalore, India, bigbasket delivers food, groceries, and other household needs to more than 15 million registered customers. With more than 30,000 products from 1,000+ brands, and a presence in 26 cities across India, bigbasket has raised $1 billion in funding from investors including Alibaba Group and Trifecta Capital Advisors.

December marks a a big end-of-year for MoEngage. In addition to its partnership with bigbasket, the company unveiled a new Single Sign-On feature this month, which will bring users improved security as well as easier access control. Recently achieving Amazon Web Services Retail Competency status, the company also earned recognition in the 2019 Gartner “Voice of the Customer” report for Mobile Marketing Platforms as the highest overall rated vendor.

Delivering more than 25 billion highly personalized messages each month, MoEngage has more than 550 customers in 35 countries, and includes many Fortune 500 brands among its clients. The company has raised $15.8 million in funding, and its investors include Matrix Partners India, VenturEast, Helion Venture Partners, and Startup Equity Partners – which led a venture round for MoEngage at the beginning of the year.
