From a Simple Idea to a Growing Impact
Back in 2021, founders Parin and his brother Prit launched Reelo with the ambition to help restaurants and retail stores retain their customers and keep them happy. They grew up in a family that owned a retail store in Ahmedabad, so they knew firsthand the challenges these businesses face. Starting a business might be straightforward, but making it successful is a whole different story.
“Our unified marketing tech stack helps brands in taking the guesswork out of marketing by leveraging data to transform the way businesses connect with their customers without lifting a finger. Our clients have seen 32% average revenue growth a year and found the platform to be 10x more effective than traditional marketing. We want to democratize customer engagement one restaurant/retailer at a time.” states Parin Sanghvi, Founder and CEO of Reelo
Fast forward to today, and Reelo has grown more than they ever imagined. The platform now supports over 17,000 brands, from local shops to big names like Lite Bite Foods, Nandos, and Biggies Burger. It helps these businesses connect with their customers in meaningful ways. So far, Reelo has created over 15 million connections between businesses and customers, driving up sales and creating happy experiences across India, the Middle East, and Africa.
Making Marketing Simple and Powerful
Reelo was launched after recognizing the challenges small and mid-sized businesses encountered with marketing. They either didn’t have the time, or when they tried, it just didn’t work out as hoped. We wanted to fix that. Here’s how Reelo is making it easier than ever:
- Bring Friends Along: Encourage your satisfied customers to spread the word and reward them for bringing their friends and family to your business.
- Data at Your Fingertips: We hook right into your POS system, pulling data that helps you know your customers better.
- Loyalty Programs That Shine: Keep your customers excited to come back with rewards they really want.
- Messages that Matter: Reach out with WhatsApp, SMS, and email templates that get attention—and results.
- Feedback First: Hear what your customers think, fix issues fast, and boost your online ratings effortlessly.

Dheeraj Gupta, Founder and Managing Director of Jumboking, highlights the impact: “Reelo is changing the game for our 165+ stores on how to increase our loyal customer base. After using Reelo, we have seen a notable increase in our customer repeat rate of 27% across our stores. Reelo has transformed our customer engagement approach through their customizable loyalty program and WhatsApp marketing tools.”
