Noida-based, Betaout enables online businesses to increase conversions and personalise user engagement using real-time user persona and intent data. It is an all-in-one marketing personalisation and engagement platform that builds comprehensive user intelligence database and gives tools to engage with users through email, on-site engagement and live-chat, sms and other channels.

It represents an evolution from the traditional fragmented marketing tools, which traps user information among themselves and don’t exchange information with others. This leaves marketers an incomplete picture of their customers and hence limit their ability to connect with customers on a personal level at scale.
