Vijay Gogoi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, 19th Mile, said, “We have 20 customers as of now, which are mostly small and medium businesses while there are a few large enterprises too. We have grown over 10 times in the past three years and expect to cross Rs 20 crore revenue in the next three years,”.

Talking about the need for 19th Mile, Rishi Vasudev, Vice President of Fashion, Flipkart, said, “Traditional CRM systems are designed for the CXO. While the new cloud solutions provide technology to teams, there was nothing for the sales representative in the field. Because of that, the adoption rates never went beyond 30–40%. 19th Mile focuses on the seller, thereby making it very sticky with users. We have seen a usage of 80% or more on a weekly basis,”.
