Tata Digital is a division of the Tata Group, India’s largest conglomerate with products and services in over 150 countries and operations spanning 100 countries across six continents. Tata Digital focuses on creating consumer-centric, high-engagement digital products. By creating a holistic presence across various touchpoints, they aim to be the trusted partner of every consumer and delight them by powering a rewarding life.
Overview
India’s premier super-app, Tata Neu, marks the Tata Group’s foray into the realm of integrated rewards experiences across a plethora of consumer categories, encompassing groceries, fashion, electronics, travel, health, entertainment, and financial services—all unified within a single platform. Harnessing the collective strength of renowned brands such as AirAsia India, bigbasket, Croma, IHCL, Qmin, Starbucks, Tata 1mg, Tata CLiQ, Tata Play, and Westside, Tata Neu offers users an unparalleled shopping experience, positioning itself as the ultimate one-stop destination for all consumer needs.
At the heart of Tata Neu lies the simple yet powerful concept of NeuPass—a rewards program that grants users a 5% reward or more with every purchase made via the app. These rewards can be seamlessly utilized across all categories available on the platform, enhancing the value proposition for users.
With the monumental task of catering to India’s vast consumer base of 1.1 billion customers, Tata Digital recognized the imperative of finding a robust customer support solution that could scale alongside their rapidly expanding user base. In their quest for the ideal partner, Tata Digital meticulously evaluated industry giants like Zendesk and Salesforce. However, it was Freshworks that emerged victorious, thanks to its unparalleled suite of products and seamless user experience—a testament to Freshworks’ commitment to delivering innovative solutions tailored to the evolving needs of its clients.
