WATI Raises Pre Series-A Funding From Sequoia Capital India’s Surge

WATI - funding announcement

Today, we are excited to announce we joined the fifth batch of Surge, an initiative by Sequoia Capital for the most promising startups.


Online shopping has accelerated, however, habits don’t change. In a retail store, you’d expect a salesperson. How can your consumers connect with you in your online shop? 


Imagine a way where you can convert and retain your customers without spending a fortune, without hiring a large salesforce. Your 24×7 online store assistant.

Conversations deliver exactly the kind of quick and personalized experiences that meet or even exceed the needs of today’s shoppers. These experiences combine people’s favorite parts of shopping in-store (e.g. consulting with a salesperson) and their favorite parts of shopping online (e.g. the convenience of shopping whenever they want).

We built WATI as a one-stop-shop customer engagement platform on WhatsApp Business API. WATI is a multi-agent collaboration tool with a no-code Chatbot builder, with the mission to help enterprises to grow their business smarter.
