AI Automation Revolutionizes Event Planning in India: A Case Study
Running an event planning business in India can sometimes feel like juggling flaming torches. Between handling client requests and managing endless spreadsheets, it’s easy for crucial details to slip through the cracks. Take for example, Shalini Gupta, the owner of Aqua Events in Pune.
Before: The Struggles of Manual Operations
Shalini was running Aqua Events with a team of ten and faced issues common in the industry. Her phone was constantly ringing, emails were going unanswered, and managing client information was chaotic. This led to errors such as double bookings and misplaced client requests, ultimately causing a ₹5 lakh loss in potential revenue annually. Staff spent countless hours on repetitive tasks, leaving little time for creative planning or client engagement.
