About Us
Enabling retail brands to
deliver matchless
consumer experiences!
In 2017, as e-commerce was already exploding across the global landscape, Sanjoy Roy and Dinesh Sharma identified a gap in the market, an opportunity to create a brand that could revolutionize the way people across the world experienced online shopping.
The gap as they saw it, was the retail conversational experience riddled with unsolved consumer questions and deliberations. What was needed to bridge this gap was retail and vertical AI domain expertise, both of which they had to offer. With no credible solution in the market, the dream of AskSid was born, a full-stack AI solution for retail brands, seeking to craft impactful shopping experiences for consumers across geographies.
In 2022, AskSid was acquired by GupShup, the global leader in conversational engagement, to join forces and offer retail, D2C, and eCommerce brands a unified set of CX offerings with a vertical AI focus, across pre-purchase, purchase, and post-purchase phases - thus delivering immense value to enterprise customers.
