QuickReply.ai

What QuickReply.ai does

QuickReply.ai is a Singapore-incorporated, India-operated SaaS platform that provides WhatsApp marketing and commerce automation for direct-to-consumer brands and online stores, with a particular concentration on Shopify merchants. Founded in 2021, the company has built an integrated product suite comprising personalized bulk broadcasts, a no-code GenAI-powered chatbot builder, a visual user-journey workflow engine, an omnichannel unified inbox spanning WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, SMS, RCS, and website chat, opt-in capture tools (popups and QR codes), in-conversation payments, Click-to-WhatsApp ads integration, and conversation analytics with 72-hour ROAS attribution. The technical core sits on top of WhatsApp Business API infrastructure provided by Gupshup and 360dialog, hosted on AWS in India, with Google-supplied NLP and Cloudflare CDN services.

The company's go-to-market is hybrid: a product-led growth motion via a deep native Shopify app integration that enables self-serve onboarding for SMB merchants, supplemented by a sales-led demo motion for larger accounts, partner referrals, and a whitelabel program for agencies. Customers are billed on a tiered monthly SaaS subscription with messaging credits consumed on top, targeting pain points such as rising Meta/Facebook ad costs, high COD return-to-origin rates, low repeat-purchase rates, and weak email engagement. The customer base spans 1,000+ merchants across 29 countries and 2 billion+ messages, with named logos concentrated in Indian D2C apparel, beauty, jewelry, food, wellness, and pet care segments.

QuickReply raised USD 1.14 million in seed funding in April 2023 from Leo Capital, GSF, and Pentathlon Ventures, earmarked for product development, talent, and international expansion into the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Europe. The company is led by co-founders Himanshu Gupta (CEO) and Hridayesh Gupta (CTO), operates through Singapore parent and Indian subsidiary entities, and holds multiple G2 badges including Best Estimated ROI for Small Business and Momentum Leader. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
