“While brands often focus on acquiring new customers, it is significantly cost-effective to retain an existing customer than to acquire a new one”, Chatlani said.

EasyRewardz was founded in 2011 by Soumya Chatterjee, Angad Singh, Sapan Kadakia and Tejas Kadakia. EasyRewardz offers customer loyalty management solutions to corporates and businesses which allows customers to enrol in multiple schemes, track points and rewards and helps customers to redeem those rewards. The startup claims that its solutions have helped its clients improve their customer retention, increase average transaction value and acquire new customers. The startup’s clients include RBL Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Genesis Luxury, Spykar, Soch, Mufti, V-Mart, Pizza Hut, PVR, Himalaya Wellness and VIP Industries.
