Founded by Hemant Upadhyay, Abhinav Midha, and Chinmay Bhatt, Mumbai headquartered Shopholix is a location based mobile app and web interface that enables shoppers to locate, explore and plan their shopping trips. The company offers offline retailers a unique opportunity to interact with digital shoppers, and leverage the incoming traffic of users on the platform through coupon redemptions, digital payments, and point of sale systems. Moreover, the platform seamlessly integrates with any brand’s retail CRM to help bring existing customers on board to the Shopholix platform, thus enabling them to experience the next level of retail shopping.
Mr. Abhinav Midha, Co-Founder, Shopholix commented, “The common entrepreneurial vision shared by the entire team of Shopholix is scalability, both of the product, as well as operations. Hence, it became imperative for us to seek strategic investors who can not only bring their knowledge of growing businesses on board, but also help us with their wide network in the industry. Mr. Khanna, as an experienced professional and investor, brings with him these very credentials, and we are extremely delighted to have him on board as a mentor to the company.”
