About The Customer
Upstox is Asia's largest investment platform with a growing user base. Despite their success in attracting new customers, they faced a challenge with a significant number of dormant users. The company aimed to engage these inactive users, drive financial education, and encourage trading activity.

Upstox aimed to offer a distinct value proposition in a highly competitive market by becoming the first investment platform to support IPO applications on WhatsApp.
The Challenge
Upstox, Asia's largest investment platform, was facing a challenge with a growing number of dormant users despite an increase in overall platform users. While the company had a successful strategy for attracting new customers, they needed to find a way to better engage with their existing, inactive customer base. The goal was to drive financial education, encourage trading activity, and convert these latent clients into frequent traders. Upstox also aimed to explore new marketing channels, such as WhatsApp, to attract and onboard new users while improving the trading experience for their existing clients. They wanted to offer a distinct value proposition in a highly competitive market by becoming the first investment platform to support IPO applications on WhatsApp. Furthermore, they wanted to ensure that every incoming lead was promptly responded to in a timely and efficient manner.
The Solution
Haptik provided a solution by creating a WhatsApp chatbot for Upstox users to apply for IPOs with minimal effort. The chatbot allowed users to start a conversation with the brand, verify their mobile number, enter an OTP, bid and select lots, and complete the process with UPI ID verification. Haptik’s Proactive Messaging feature also enabled Upstox to send WhatsApp notifications to users, resulting in a 20% increase in the number of trades. The AI-powered WhatsApp chatbot was instrumental in onboarding new users and guiding them with personalized workflows. The chatbot also provided features such as account activation, step-by-step guidance for placing trades, applying for an IPO, and answering general customer support questions.

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.

8x increased productivity with VKS
Before VKS, a teacher would spend a lot of time showing a group of 22 students how to build a set of stairs within a semester of 120 hours. Along with not leaving the teacher much time to provide one-on-one support for each student to properly learn carpentry, it also left a considerable amount of room for error. Key information would be misinterpreted or lost as the class was taught in the typical show-and-tell way.

Scalable IoT Empowering GreenFlex's Sustainable Growth
GreenFlex, a company that supports sustainable development, decarbonization, and energy efficiency, faced several challenges in its quest to expand its business. The company needed to deploy a robust and sustainable IoT technology to support its growth. It was crucial for them to monitor and control devices at customer sites in a safe and reliable manner. They also needed to integrate devices across a range of communication protocols and gather and act on data to meet efficiency targets. GreenFlex had previously built IoT capabilities into its digital platform, GreenFlexIQ, to monitor and manage customer sites remotely. However, they soon realized that they needed a new platform to support their ambitions. They needed a platform that could scale to connect more devices for production management and make it easier for the operations team to manage devices in the field.
