Email Infrastructure Case Study: How Snapdeal Scaled High-Volume Email Delivery with cmercury
Client Overview
Snapdeal is one of India’s leading e-commerce marketplaces, serving millions of customers across thousands of cities and towns. With a vast network of sellers and a diverse product portfolio spanning fashion, electronics, home essentials, and beauty products, Snapdeal relies heavily on email communication to engage customers throughout their shopping journey.
From order confirmations and shipping notifications to promotional campaigns and customer engagement initiatives, email plays a critical role in delivering a seamless customer experience.
