When Urban Company/UrbanClap CEO Emailed

Saikat had received an Email from Abhiraj Bhal CEO of UrbanClap (now Urban Company) and the subject was ‘Hi from Abhiraj, Co-founder at UrbanClap!’ Noticing this the journalist was suspicious that whether this mail was about some negative coverage Abhiraj might have received, but it wasn’t the case as the journalist did not remember mentioning Abhiraj in his articles.

After opening Abhiraj Bhal’s Email, the journalist realized it was just a part of a personalized email marketing campaign that the UrbanClap CEO’s team might have run that all their subscribers could have received.

The journalist then compares how email marketing campaigns were utilized by new-age Indian companies and how few Indian start-ups were running personalized email marketing campaigns.
