It also reflects that online research builds better understanding about the product in a short span of time to user. Building upon that insight, we thought of creating a direct interaction platform between the users and our expert panel. Through our Live Chat sessions, Whatsapp touch point and ZigLine, we have received and answered queries ranging from budget, fuel type, comparisons, build quality, maintenance, mileage for cars and styling, handling and mileage and comparison for bikes.
