Smytten | A Sampling And Engagement Platform
Founded by Swagat Sarangi and Siddhartha Nangia in 2015, Smytten is a sampling and engagement platform for D2C brands. The platform enables online shoppers to try products before they buy, offering free trials and curated shopping across categories like Beauty, Skincare, Male Grooming, Food & Beverages, Smart Technology, Premium Services and more.
Following a data-driven targeted sampling approach, Smytten takes real-time feedback from millions of users post sampling.
Speaking of the development, Swagat Sarangi said,
“We are primarily disrupting the pre-purchase buying experience of users. We see there is a lot of interesting data technology at play, which is a whitespace that we have identified, and that’s where Smytten was born. We’ll be investing a lot in building some new-edge technology for consumer brands, especially D2C brands.”
Several leading D2C brands like Plum, Mamaearth, mCaffeine, etc., are already leveraging Smytten’s platform to reach their target audience at scale and deliver first-hand product experience through sampling.
Presently, the sampling and engagement platform hosts over 700 D2C brand partners on its platform across various categories and enables millions of product sampling every month for them.
