How AI can redefine Indian business
How AI Can Redefine Indian Business – From Multilingual CX to Agentic Autonomy
India's digital economy is booming, and customer expectations are evolving even faster. Whether it's shopping on a D2C website, interacting with a healthcare portal, or booking a service via WhatsApp, consumers demand instant, intelligent, and personalized experiences. AI-powered automation isn’t just support—it’s swiftly becoming the backbone of how Indian businesses operate.
🌐 Embracing AI: Indian Consumers Are Leading the Charge
According to a recent published article by EY’s↗ Future Consumer Index
- 82% of Indian consumers are open to AI-enhanced purchase decisions, a significant leap over the global average of 58%.
- Nearly half (48%) of consumers trust AI for tailored promotions and recommendations. This high level of acceptance makes
- India one of the most receptive global markets for AI-driven solutions.
💬 Support & Coordination: Multilingual, Multitasking, Multichannel
AI chatbots with context-aware translation are enabling brands to communicate in Hindi, Tamil, Marathi, Bengali, Kannada, and more, strengthening connections in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. Beyond supporting conversations, agentic AI platforms, like Versalence AI↗ are evolving to autonomously manage multi-step tasks, from scheduling to fulfilment without constant human input
🛒 Cart Recovery & Smart Recommendations
AI excels at recovering abandoned carts: it detects drop-off signals, triggers WhatsApp or in-app nudges, offers personalized discounts, and seamlessly reintegrates potential customers. Coupled with recommendation engines that adapt to real‑time behaviour, cart recovery can turn potential loss into higher conversion and AOV (average order value) all automated.
Recent trends highlight personalized recommendations are now core to Indian platforms, with even quick-commerce apps like Blinkit↗ and Zomato↗ using GenAI for local-language suggestions
📅 Booking Automation & Lead Qualification
Service-oriented businesses—from telemedicine to home services—are benefiting from AI that handles bookings, rescheduling, reminders, cancellations, and KYC-based onboarding. The result: faster conversions, reduced operational load, and measurable uplift in booking success and customer experience.
Reports suggest that 48% of companies in India have moved beyond proof-of-concept to invest in GenAI across the retail value chain—especially in sales, supply chain, manufacturing, and customer service.
📊 Feedback Loops & Behavioural Insights
AI-driven systems do more than collect surveys—they analyse sentiment, identify trends (e.g. spikes in negative feedback), and generate summary reports. These actionable insights help teams improve SOPs, optimize UX, and drive smarter marketing and outreach.
Research suggests GenAI could boost Indian retail productivity by 35–37% over the next five years—especially in pricing, promotions, and customer experience.
🤝 Internal Ops & Agent Assist
In delivery-first niches like Dunzo or Zepto, AI acts like a central dispatcher—routing orders, verifying locations, and reducing human intervention. Meanwhile, AI copilots empower customer support agents by pulling up contextual information, drafting responses, and reducing average handle time.
With Versalence AI↗ and agentic AI built on enterprise platforms like Botpress↗, N8N↗, AI agents are increasingly capable of taking full ownership, ordering parts, compiling reports, summarizing interactions, without constant human supervision.
⚙️ Supply Chain & Logistics Optimization
Beyond customer-facing frontiers, GenAI is also revolutionizing supply chains—forecasting demand, optimizing routing and warehouse operations, pursuing dynamic pricing, and lowering errors. Global examples (H&M, Coca-Cola) and notes analogous initiatives in India.
For Indian businesses, managing regional saturation and peak-demand surges becomes easier and more cost-effective with AI-driven insights.

- 82% of consumers are ready for AI-enhanced buying experiences
- 48% of businesses have launched GenAI POCs; 32% have greenlit budgets
- It is projected that a 35–45% boost in productivity across sales, service, and operations under GenAI power
