Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Rajasthan Royals (RR) has picked information technology (IT) services and business process outsourcing services provider Tech Mahindra to enhance customer experience.
Under the engagement, a statement said, the Pune-headquartered company will use its digital platform, powered by AI (artificial intelligence) and data analytics, to provide an omni-channel communication experience for RR’s fans across social, email and push messaging services.
This will help the franchise reach wider markets and audiences through comprehensive fan engagement platforms and digital campaigns. It also plans to leverage new age technologies to more revenue streams for the team.
