Built for how Darjeeling actually does business

Darjeeling's economy is seasonal, tourism-driven and spread across steep terrain — which makes fast, personal messaging worth more here than almost anywhere. Tea estates and factories field wholesale and first-flush enquiries from buyers across India and abroad. Homestays, boutique hotels and tour operators handle bookings around the peak March-May and October-November seasons and around Toy Train and Tiger Hill schedules. The town's famous boarding schools and colleges coordinate admissions, fees and parent updates for families who live far away. Retailers in Chowk Bazaar and along Nehru Road, plus horticulture and floriculture suppliers on the surrounding slopes, run offers, order confirmations and support. WhatsApp is already where these conversations happen — InfiQ simply moves them onto the official Business API so they are verified, automatable and owned by you.

  • Tea estates and processors: wholesale enquiries, first-flush availability, dispatch and payment updates
  • Hotels, homestays and tour operators: booking confirmations, season and weather-sensitive itinerary changes, reminders
  • Boarding schools and colleges: admission enquiries, fee reminders, parent-teacher notices, transport updates
  • Chowk Bazaar / Nehru Road retail and horticulture suppliers: catalogues, offers, order status and after-sales support

Transparent ₹ pricing

WhatsApp now bills per delivered message by category — marketing, utility and authentication each have their own rate — after Meta moved off per-conversation billing on 1 July 2025. The 24-hour service window remains a free window to reply to customers, not a billing unit. InfiQ applies its own platform pricing as transparent ₹ pricing (ex-GST), so a Darjeeling tea exporter or hotel can forecast messaging cost by campaign and category instead of guessing. Plans scale from a Lite tier for a single homestay or shop up to volume tiers for schools and estates sending seasonal broadcasts, with GST invoiced to your West Bengal registration.

  • Per-delivered-message billing by category (marketing / utility / authentication)
  • 24-hour service window for replying to inbound customer messages (free today, chargeable from 1 October 2026)
  • GST invoices issued to your West Bengal business (all prices ex-GST)
  • Plan tiers that fit a single homestay through to multi-branch schools and estates

Onboarding designed for hill-station connectivity and timelines

Getting live is a short, guided path even when your team is spread between the town and the gardens. First, we help verify your business in Meta Business Manager. Next, you connect your number through Meta's Embedded Signup — and you keep full BSUID (Business-Scoped User ID) ownership of the account, so the asset is always yours, never locked to an agency. Then we help draft and submit your message templates for approval, in the languages your customers use. Finally you go live, typically within 2 hours once your business is verified. We also confirm your green-tick (official business account) eligibility so a recognised Darjeeling brand can apply for verified status.

  • Verify your business in Meta Business Manager
  • Connect your number via Embedded Signup — you retain full BSUID ownership
  • Get Bengali, Nepali or Hindi templates approved
  • Go live in 2 hours, with green-tick eligibility checked upfront

Messaging in the languages the hills speak

Darjeeling is genuinely multilingual — Nepali is the everyday language of the hills alongside Bengali across West Bengal, with Hindi and English widely used in trade, tourism and education. InfiQ lets you send and automate WhatsApp templates and replies in Bengali, Nepali, Hindi and English, so a booking confirmation, fee reminder or first-flush offer reaches customers in the language they actually read. Combined with India-hours support, your Darjeeling team communicates naturally with both local customers and out-of-town buyers and parents.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a GST invoice for my Darjeeling business?+
Yes. InfiQ issues GST invoices to your West Bengal business registration. All plan prices are quoted ex-GST, and applicable GST is added on the invoice.
Do you support Bengali and Nepali on WhatsApp?+
Yes. You can send and automate WhatsApp templates and replies in Bengali, Nepali, Hindi and English — useful across Darjeeling's hill communities, wider West Bengal customers, and out-of-town buyers and parents.
How fast can a Darjeeling business go live?+
Typically 2 hours, once your business is verified. Simple accounts with ready details often move faster; template approval times vary by category and content.
How does WhatsApp pricing work now?+
WhatsApp bills per delivered message by category — marketing, utility and authentication — since Meta moved off per-conversation billing on 1 July 2025. The 24-hour window is a free service window for replying to customers, not a billing unit. InfiQ applies transparent ₹ pricing (ex-GST).
Do I keep ownership of my WhatsApp account?+
Yes. You connect your number through Meta's Embedded Signup and retain full BSUID (Business-Scoped User ID) ownership. The account is your asset — it is never locked to InfiQ or an agency.
Can a Darjeeling tea estate or hotel get the green tick?+
The green tick (official business account) is granted by Meta based on brand notability and eligibility criteria. InfiQ checks your eligibility during onboarding and helps you apply, though final approval rests with Meta.
Is this suitable for a small homestay or single shop?+
Yes. Plans scale from a Lite tier for a single homestay, shop or tour operator up to volume tiers for schools and estates running seasonal broadcasts, so you only pay for the scale you need.
Which Darjeeling business types benefit most?+
Tea estates and processors, hotels, homestays and tour operators, boarding schools and colleges, and Chowk Bazaar and Nehru Road retailers and horticulture suppliers all commonly use the API for enquiries, confirmations, reminders and support.
