In layman terms, Wigzo empowers brands to send marketing content that people want to receive. The funds raised will be used to expand its team and build its delivery channels, including mobile, email, and web.

Re-engaging your customers effectively builds brand recall and loyalty, and multi-channel strategies that utilise real-time analytics will be most efficient ,” Pranav Pai, investing on behalf of Mr. Mohandas Pai, said.
