Understanding and managing customer churn has become critical, as brands strive to align with customer expectations and provide optimal value.

The primary reason for customer churn is a disconnect between customer expectations and the actual experience. 

“Customers buy a product or utilise a service with certain expectations in mind. And when there is a mismatch between what they actually get, that is when they look for a competitor or an alternative,” says Sonali Mehra, Insights and Analytics Lead at H&M and former Director at Licious.

In this episode of our exclusive video series “In Conversation with,” we speak to brand leader Sonali about why customers churn, the behind-the-scenes of a successful quick commerce business, and emerging technology.
