GoKwik, a Gurugram-based e-commerce enablement company today announced its partnership with Snapdeal. The company will use GoKwik’s AI & Machine learning solutions to offer an enhanced, customized shopping experience to its users.




Snapdeal will integrate GoKwik’s AI-Model that studies customer behavior across various stages of the shopping funnel by analyzing over 200+ parameters, including historical data and customer behavioral patterns etc. The AI model will assist Snapdeal in gaining useful insights in order to provide customers with relevant and customized shopping experiences. GoKwik will also help uncover industry insights with the vast network intelligence it has built by analyzing the vast amount of industry-relevant data.

Currently, Snapdeal draws more than 86% of its orders from outside the metro cities, with more than 72% of the orders flowing from buyers living in smaller cities and towns.
