Why Indian Businesses Switch to NY Digital
Specific pain points businesses encounter when scaling on pure software platforms.
AiSensy is a popular DIY platform, but businesses sending 50,000+ messages monthly quickly realize that micro-markups on message delivery inflate their monthly bills. Furthermore, your internal staff is left to figure out why templates get rejected or miscategorized as Marketing instead of Utility.
Interakt works well for single-user Shopify stores. But once you have a real sales or support team of 10 to 25 agents across Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, or Thane, per-seat licensing fees balloon rapidly. You are forced to restrict CRM logins to save subscription costs, ruining team productivity.
Wati provides a capable feature set but bills in USD-pegged structures and operates standard ticket-based support. When an urgent marketing blast fails on a festive weekend or your number gets blocked, waiting 24 to 48 hours for an email reply from overseas support costs your business lakhs in lost revenue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about switching from other WhatsApp providers to NY Digital.
Can we migrate our current WhatsApp number from AiSensy, Interakt, or Wati?+
Yes. Meta officially supports WhatsApp Cloud API phone number migration. We can seamlessly port your registered business phone number, display name, verified blue tick, and messaging tier to NY Digital with zero disruption or downtime.
What happens to our existing customer chat history during migration?+
Meta API architecture does not store historical chats across BSP migrations. However, we assist in exporting your contacts and CRM customer properties from your previous platform so your customer database is fully preserved and segmented in NY Digital.
How does NY Digital handle copywriting and template approvals?+
Our dedicated team drafts compliant templates according to Meta guidelines. We specifically optimize template phrasing to qualify under the ~₹0.12 Utility category rather than the ~₹0.80 Marketing category, saving up to 85% on recurring delivery fees.
How do we pay for Meta message conversation fees?+
You attach your own corporate credit card directly inside Meta Business Manager. Meta bills you at 100% cost with zero platform surcharge from NY Digital. This ensures complete transparency and clean tax invoicing with GST input credit.
