The Pune angle for florists

10-day Ganesh Chaturthi creates a demand spike most businesses don't plan for. Pre-festival WhatsApp templates need to be approved 7+ days early or you miss the window.

WhatsApp queries on delivery day are 70% 'where is it?'

On Valentine's, Mother's Day, Diwali — query volume spikes 5×. 70% are status checks. The other 30% (real new orders) get drowned and miss the cut-off.

Custom orders need design back-and-forth

Bouquet, cake design, hamper customization — needs photo references, approvals, revisions. Without structure, this loops 5-7 messages per order, killing throughput.

Delivery ETA is guesswork

Customer asks at 2pm 'will it reach by 6pm?' You hope. The bouquet leaves at 4:30. Reaches at 6:45. They blame you, not the traffic.

Language + voice in Pune

Marathi-Hindi-English in roughly equal use; tech corridors English-first; older areas Marathi-first.

Doggu's voice agent auto-detects Marathi, Hindi, English and switches mid-conversation if the caller does. WhatsApp templates can be approved in any of the languages your customers actually use.
