I believe that the team and product is on track to onboard more than 50,000 e commerce stores by 2025 and impact millions of dollars worth of purchases that happen online.” 

Founded in 2021, Wizzy is the brainchild of Aenik Shah and Alok Patel—two passionate,  motivated problem solvers with a strong tech background, who hail from the entrepreneurial spirit  of Ahmedabad. 

Wizzy was created to help solve a major problem for e-commerce stores—making product  discovery easy and seamless for shoppers, just like the most popular marketplace apps. It was  designed to boost visit-to-sales conversion organically as well. 

Wizzy engineered their solution with a four-pronged approach: 

1. Technology: A smart, advanced, visual search and filter built on AI and ML that can be  implemented on any e-commerce store built on any platform—even on hand-coded e commerce websites. 

2. Smart merchandising: Use this technology to allow a store’s site search to automatically  sync with the product catalogue that eventually enables automated smart merchandising.

3. Product discovery: Transform site search into a fast, accurate, NLU-based search  experience that changes the way shoppers (we) discover and buy products.

4. Real-time insights: And finally, Wizzy’s analytics engine constantly monitors search  behaviour and curates data points in real time that can be used to optimise products and  product pages to influence visitor behaviour. 

Wizzy’s vision is to help every e-commerce store and marketplace up its site search game and  boost sales and revenue organically.
