Questions
MarTech and marketing automation: common questions.
Which CRM is best for an Indian SME?
There is no single best. Zoho is cost-effective and India-friendly, HubSpot is easy to adopt, Salesforce scales for complex sales and LeadSquared suits high-volume education and lending funnels. The right one depends on your sales process and team.
Is WhatsApp automation allowed?
Yes, through the official WhatsApp Business Platform with opted-in users and approved templates. Unofficial bulk-sending tools risk number bans and we do not use them.
Does marketing automation comply with the DPDP Act?
It can, if consent, purpose and retention are designed in. We build consent capture and data minimisation into flows, and recommend legal review for your specific case.
