How Can Call Recording Boost Customer Service and Insights?

Improving Agri-Service: The Human Story Behind the Challenge

For rural communities, accessibility to information is often hindered by geographical constraints and unreliable infrastructure. When farmers face uncertainties regarding crops, inputs, or equipment, waiting for in-person visits can result in substantial time and productivity loss. To empower farmers at scale, organizations need a seamless, accessible way for them to request assistance by voice, anytime and from anywhere.

ITC Limited’s Agri-Business Division, ITC e‑Choupal, launched an initiative to create an effective, sustainable supply chain while delivering value to its clients worldwide. Introduced in June 2000, e‑Choupal has grown into one of rural India’s largest internet-based interventions. Today, the platform serves more than 4 million farmers across over 35,000 villages, giving them access to information, advisory, and support that were once difficult to reach.

When questions arise about crops, inputs, or equipment, waiting for an in-person visit can mean losing precious time in already uncertain conditions. ITC knew that if it wanted to truly stand with farmers, it had to create a simple way for them to reach out whenever they needed help, by voice, in their own time, from their own villages.

Before vs After: How e-Choupal Transformed Operations

The Challenge

The core objective of e‑Choupal was to connect with farmers spread across remote and difficult-to-reach parts of rural India.

One of the most critical missing links was a seamless telecom layer that could reliably connect these millions of farmers with ITC’s teams by:

• Setting up an on-call helpdesk allowing farmers from various regions to reach out and request assistance.
• Monitoring on-call discussions to better understand the difficulties and patterns of challenges that farmers were facing.

With high potential call volumes, multiple regions, and diverse issues, ITC needed a system that could scale without overwhelming its staff or compromising on quality of support.

The Solution: MyOperator’s Integrated Call Management Platform

To address these challenges, ITC partnered with MyOperator to deploy an integrated cloud telephony-based call management solution, focusing on making access easy for farmers while giving ITC full visibility over every interaction.
