Key Milestone Achievement for Picky Assist
The WhatsApp Catalog Automation Workshop held at Hilton Garden Inn, Trivandrum on August 20, 2025, marked a major milestone in the company’s growth journey and in the evolution of WhatsApp-driven commerce in India. This first-of-its-kind event brought together over 200 participants, including entrepreneurs, SME owners, retail leaders, educators, healthcare providers, food and hospitality brands, automobile dealers, coaches, and digital-first founders from across Kerala.
What made this milestone especially significant was the direct involvement of WhatsApp India officials, with Sai Gadkari sharing strategic insights on how businesses can scale using WhatsApp as a primary commerce channel, without the dependency on websites or mobile applications. This positioned the workshop not merely as a product launch, but as an industry-level conversation on the future of conversational commerce in India.
Through live demonstrations, real-world use cases, and interactive sessions, Picky Assist officially unveiled India’s first standalone WhatsApp Catalog Automation Software. Attendees witnessed how businesses can go far beyond WhatsApp’s native catalog capabilities by automating inventory management, enabling UPI-based payments, handling bulk orders, reducing cart abandonment, and driving sales directly from Meta ads to WhatsApp.
The event also highlighted strong local adoption, with Trivandrum-based businesses such as Manackal Foods, Kunnil Hypermarket, BTree, Santini, Sama Plus Size, Nuts N Frutiz, and Kidomo sharing their early success stories. These businesses showcased how WhatsApp Catalog Automation is already delivering faster sales cycles, improved customer experiences, and scalable operations.
By successfully hosting this landmark event at Hilton Garden Inn, Picky Assist achieved more than a successful workshop, it established itself as a category creator and thought leader in WhatsApp commerce automation. The event signaled a clear shift in how businesses in Kerala and across India can embrace WhatsApp as a complete digital storefront, reinforcing Picky Assist’s role in shaping the future of AI-powered, conversation-led selling.
