Technological and Digital Excellence
To fuel growth initiatives, Varun evaluated CX/UX/franchisee experiences and technology capabilities to assess growth opportunities. Then, built internal teams to fill resource gaps and worked with franchisees/leaders to elevate e-commerce/digital strategy. This project delivered the design, build, and launch of a native mobile app with a completely new infrastructure. It successfully launched a loyalty program within 180 days, a redesigned web experience, and a mobile app. Achieved a 5-year CAGR trajectory that doubled sales with 40% conversion improvements, driving ~50% (~$1B) growth.
Legacy Modernization and Process Improvement
Amidst the post-pandemic eviction moratorium, squatters/trespassers impacted ~500 properties, causing enormous per-property costs: ~$25K in damages and lost rent per home. Mr. Agasti introduced graphic algorithms for self-tours that reduced fraudulent entries, a bot to detect fraudulent listings, and leveraged machine learning on smart home data to detect intrusion and alert ground teams/law enforcement. Squatter-impacted homes decreased by 98% in EOY1 and delivered ~75% detection accuracy with an average <24-hour removal rate of 80%.
