Pain Points & Challenges
Darwinbox’s rapid growth brought new challenges to their support experience—customers needed faster, expert-driven solutions while the team faced increasing volume and complexity.
Inefficient Support Resolution
Support was previously less specialized, with experts spread thin. L1 same-day resolution languished at just 28%, slowing down customer experience.
Fragmented Information & Expertise
Documentation and expertise were not easily accessible. Customers struggled to locate solutions quickly, causing unnecessary delays and repeat queries.
Limited Transparency
Many customers lacked visibility into ticket progress, making for a frustrating experience and frequent follow-ups.
Global Coverage Gaps
With clients spread across time zones, real-time assistance was often unavailable, delaying fixes beyond local working hours.
The Solution: Darwinbox Next-Gen Support
Pioneered by CTO Vineet Singh, Darwinbox transformed support through targeted process refinement, deep team specialization, and a powerful suite of AI-driven tools.
