The Siliguri angle for gyms

Siliguri sits at the gateway to 4 states + Nepal + Bhutan; cross-border customer messages in 4-5 languages and 3 currencies routinely overwhelm businesses without automation.

30-40% of new joiners drop off in 90 days

The Indian gym retention curve is brutal. Without consistent re-engagement, half your acquisition spend is wasted on members who never come back.

Batch slots run empty or overbooked

Yoga at 7am: empty. Spinning at 6pm: 30 people for 15 bikes. Without booking, the load isn't visible until the morning of.

Fee collection is monthly chaos

Owner messages each lapsed member individually. Some pay; most ignore. Cash flow timing slips by 2-3 weeks.

Language + voice in Siliguri

Bengali-Hindi-Nepali mix; gateway to NE/Bhutan/Nepal/Sikkim — multilingual is essential.

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