Angel investor Rajesh Dembla has invested an undisclosed amount in Bengaluru-based customer experience management (CEM) company Survaider for a minority stake.
Rajesh Dembla is a well-known angel investor. He has been instrumental in the success story of Justdial, having worked at the company for over a decade, and was an early investor in Dunzo among other companies.
With his experience working with small teams and massively scaling them, the company expects to scale internationally at an accelerated pace and avoid critical mistakes.
Founded in 2016 by Madhulika Mukherjee and Tushar Mishra, Survaider is a SaaS-based customer experience management platform. The software works as a plug-and-play SaaS solution which helps brands measure, understand, and improve customer experience.
On the investment, Rajesh Dembla said, “Gartner predicts that customer experience will become the key brand differentiator for businesses by 2020. Customer experience, which was once ‘nice-to-have’ has become the deal maker for businesses now. Most companies are now dedicating separate departments to optimise overall brand loyalty through customer experience. It would be safe to say that the customer might have been king, but today he is the god.”
Till date, the company has raised more than $500K, with last round of Pre-Series A from The Chennai Angels and Axilor Ventures.
