I can foresee us partnering with more than 1000 businesses over the next 6 months.” – Vishrut Chalsani, VP – Enterprise Solutions, Helpchat.

Post integration, users would be able to call a cab, order laundry, or food directly within the Helpchat app and the fulfillment of the order would be done by the partners.
