Retailers in India are betting big on enhancing the customer experience (CX) with the use of Artificial intelligence (AI) with heavy investments planned in the technology this year.
According to experts, the integration of AI in retail is more than just an operational upgrade; it's a strategic move towards creating more customer-focused and efficient retail experiences, especially when the scale of operations is large like in the case of fashion e-commerce platform Myntra.
"With a catalogue as vast as ours, comprising 2.3 million styles from more than 6000 brands across fashion, beauty and lifestyle, as well as the need to be on top of the fast-evolving fashion trends, it can get challenging for shoppers to find the right product and discover trends," Myntra's Vice President (VP), of Product Management Lakshminarayanan Swaminathan said.
