Frequently Asked Questions#
How much does business automation cost for a small business in India?#
Basic automation (email, WhatsApp auto-replies, invoicing) costs ₹2,000-10,000/month using existing tools. Custom workflow automation (n8n, Make.com, Zapier) costs ₹10,000-50,000 one-time setup. Full AI-powered automation (chatbots, document processing, CRM) costs ₹50,000-5,00,000.
Which is the first process a small business should automate?#
Lead follow-up. Most Indian businesses lose 60-80% of leads because they don't respond within 30 minutes. An automated WhatsApp response + appointment booking link can be set up in hours and immediately improves conversion rates by 25-40%.
