About Bigbasket 
Bigbasket is India’s largest online food and grocery store. With over 4 million app downloads, the store carries an array of 18000+ products and 1000+ brands across fresh fruits, vegetables, spices, packaged products, and meats.
The Problem
BigBasket was faced with a challenge of low push notification delivery. This was mainly due to the OS-level, device-level restrictions in certain Chinese OEM devices. So, push notifications sent by BigBasket were not being delivered to these devices, thereby affecting the overall engagement rate of the app. With 51% of the Indian smartphone market comprising of Chinese OEM devices, the drop in push notification delivery and engagement negatively impacted BigBasket's business.
With MoEngage Push Amplification, we have witnessed an improvement of 10%+ in push delivery. This gives Bigbasket the ability to reach, engage and convert those additional users who would otherwise be a missed opportunity.
