Executive Summary
Gupshup, an industry pioneer in Conversational Engagement, worked with Redseer, a leading strategic consulting firm, for sell-side diligence to quantify the addressable opportunity and define its right to win. Leveraging proprietary IP and rigorous competitive benchmarking, we codified three vectors of its advantage: AI‑driven omnichannel engagement, full‑funnel conversational CX, and seamless enterprise integration. Our work ultimately contributed to the client’s successful fundraising.
About the Client
Gupshup serves blue-chip and SME clients across India, MENA, SEA, and LatAm in BFSI, retail, e-commerce, and other sectors, with a full-suite conversation cloud spanning CPaaS, CX, and conversational AI. With buyer criteria, vendor dynamics, and GenAI regulation evolving rapidly, leadership engaged Redseer to size the addressable opportunity, crystallise the right to win, and translate a complex market into a rigorous, decision‑useful thesis for investors and external stakeholders.
The Strategic Imperative
- Messaging as the primary surface: Customer interactions in India, MENA, SEA, and LatAm are shifting to messaging channels across the customer journey, and enterprises are adjusting to this reality by investing more to increase conversion, retention, and cost-to-serve gains on these surfaces
- GenAI at deployment inflection: Buyers now evaluate vendors on governed, multilingual AI assistants and depth of systems integration, while policy and compliance signals in GenAI continue to evolve
- BSPs as orchestration layer: Social platforms rely on BSPs like Gupshup to handle enterprise complexity, accelerate time to market, and ensure quality and compliance at scale
Outcomes & Impact
- Opportunity sized: Built a geography and channel‑level view of the complex Conversation Cloud market with volume and pricing projections
- Voice of customer: Conducted interviews to capture vendor selection criteria, post‑adoption impact, and overall sentiment
- Competitive position defined: Benchmarked Gupshup versus peers on channel focus, technology capabilities, user experience, sector focus, and selection drivers
- Ecosystem implications: Clarified social platforms’ reliance on BSPs such as Gupshup to manage enterprise complexity, accelerate time to market, ensure quality and compliance, and potential expansion themes.
- Right to win: Codified Gupshup’s narrative anchored in AI‑driven omnichannel engagement, full‑funnel conversational CX, and seamless enterprise integration.
“The partnership with Redseer was instrumental in clearly articulating our growth narrative and the massive market opportunity. Their diligence, customer insights, and competitive benchmarking enabled us to effectively highlight Gupshup’s unique market leading capabilities and right to win in the conversational AI space.”

What This Means for the Industry
Conversational engagement is no longer about pipes; it is about intelligence, integration, and governance that move conversion, retention, and unit economics. Players that operationalise AI on messaging surfaces and stitch it into core systems will scale faster and deepen loyalty. Redseer helps operators and investors seize this opportunity and translate it into disproportionate outcomes.
