The internet economy 1.0 was inherently a western design built on DIY or Do-it-yourself model, which created confusion and distrust amongst the Bharat customers, mostly first time digitally transacting users.

 

Talking about his far from pleasant experience transacting online and then choosing to adopt Niki, Dinesh, a resident of Phalodi, a small town in Rajasthan says, “I have studied till fourth class and I don’t know English, I know only Hindi. I fear that if I press any button on any other app, it will deduct my money. On Niki, I can give my order in voice and I get quality product and service delivered to me.”

 

Niki’s Do-It-For-Me Model built with the most advanced proprietary conversational technology lets customers transact via voice commands. It also has a strong supply side gatekeeping that ensures quality of goods and services. This is coupled with a digital and human stack that provides end to end proactive assistance to the Bharat customers. Households transacting on Niki have built a formidable habit and are doing 1 transaction per week, spending over Rs. 32,000 over a year already.

 

Sachin Jaiswal, CEO of Niki says, “We frequently receive customer narratives that with Niki, customers don’t have any fear and are now able to transact online on their own. Niki is there for them for all major household purchases, akin to a full stack Ramu Kaka. The trust in Niki is growing tremendously among the customers and it has been their key motivation to stick to the platform and recommend Niki to their family and friends.”

 

With the deep foundation laid on trust, Niki has unlocked Internet Economy 2.0. The company now aims to expand its services in 10 more states and launch 10 new languages capturing 20% of 150 million market share of Bharat households by 2022.
