Are you tired of paying for text messages that get ignored? Your customers are drowning in a sea of plain, forgettable SMS. Open rates are dropping, and you’re spending good money on messages that do nothing but announce their own arrival. What if you could send something they actually want to open—with images, buttons, and videos—and pay less for the privilege? That’s not a future promise. It’s the reality of RCS business messaging in India today.
The Hidden Cost of “Cheap” Bulk SMS
For years, bulk SMS was the go-to. It seemed affordable on the surface. A few paise per message, blast it out, and hope for the best. But let’s talk real cost—the cost of inaction. A plain text SMS has a 98% open rate? Great. But what’s the click-through rate? Often below 2%. What’s the conversion rate? Even lower.
You’re paying for a delivery receipt, not a business result. You’re funding a one-way announcement into the void. When you calculate your actual cost per lead or cost per sale from an SMS campaign, that “cheap” message becomes incredibly expensive. You’re wasting budget on a channel that can’t show a product, can’t provide a link button, and can’t start a meaningful conversation.
Enter RCS: Better Business Results at a Lower Price
This is the part most businesses get wrong. They see Rich Communication Services (RCS) with its rich media and think, “That must be a premium, expensive product.” Here’s the truth that will change your marketing budget: RCS messaging costs less per message than traditional bulk SMS. Let that sink in.
You are not paying more for images, buttons, and carousels. You are paying less for a far more powerful tool. While your competitors are stuck paying for plain text, you can send interactive catalogs, video testimonials, and appointment confirmations with maps—all while reducing your cost per message. This is the core advantage of partnering with a dedicated RCS platform service in India like ours.
Why Indian Businesses Are Switching (And Why Speed Matters)
Adoption is exploding. Why? Because the first-mover advantage is massive. When you send an RCS message, it stands out. It’s not in the crowded, text-only SMS inbox. It appears as a rich, interactive chat from a verified business. Your brand looks modern and trustworthy. Early adopters are seeing open rates soar above 90% and click-through rates that make email marketing jealous.
Your customers are ready. Over 500 million smartphones in India are already RCS-enabled (via Google Messages). You’re not waiting for the future; you’re catching up to where your audience already is. Every day you delay is a day a competitor uses a richer, cheaper channel to steal your customer’s attention.
Traditional SMS is like sending a postcard. RCS is like having a video call. And here’s the kicker – the video call costs less. I’ve spent 16 years in this industry, and RCS is the biggest no-brainer I’ve ever seen.

- High-Res Media: Send product images, demo videos, or audio notes. Let customers see and hear what you’re selling.
Insights That Tell You What’s Working
- Read Receipts & Typing Indicators: Know instantly when your message is read and see when the customer is typing a reply. No more guessing.

Trust & Security Built-In

Real Results: Industry Use Cases in India
This isn’t theory. Here’s how Indian businesses use our platform to save money and drive growth.
E-commerce & Retail
Abandoned cart? Send an RCS message with a picture of the item, a short “Missed This?” note, and a “Complete Purchase” button. Recovery rates jump from single digits to over 25%. And you did it for less than the cost of a standard SMS.
Banking & Finance
Move beyond plain text OTPs and alerts. Send a fraud alert with a “Verify Transaction” button. Send a loan approval with a “View Offer Details” button that opens a secure, branded document. Engagement on critical messages nears 100%.
Travel & Hospitality
Send a booking confirmation with an interactive itinerary, a “Check-In Online” button, and a link to a local guide PDF. Upsell lounge access or tours directly in the chat. This is the RCS business messaging experience that builds brand loyalty.

Common Myths Busted: The Truth About RCS in India
Myth 1: “RCS is a Premium, Expensive Service.”
Busted. This is the biggest misconception. As we’ve shown, the per-message cost of RCS is lower than traditional SMS. The “premium” is in the results, not the price tag.
Myth 2: “My Customers Aren’t Using It.”
Busted. If your customers use Android phones with Google Messages (which is most of India), they are ready. The message gracefully degrades to a rich SMS if needed, ensuring 100% reach.
Myth 3: “Integration is Complex and Slow.”
Busted. With our well-documented APIs and developer support, most businesses are live on our RCS messaging platform within a week.
