A business day in Kashipur

WhatsApp Business API for Kashipur's mill suppliers, grain traders and student PGs

Kashipur's businesses write to very different people: a mill's purchase desk, a cane grower, an MBA student arriving with two suitcases, a family coming for the fair. The rules for each message are the same; the situations are not.

  1. 08:00

    A grain trader replies to a grower about today's wheat rate.

  2. 11:30

    A supplier sends a delivery challan to a plant's stores on the Thakurdwara road.

  3. 15:00

    A PG near IIM Kashipur confirms a room for a new MBA student.

  4. 19:30

    A guest house sends a family directions from Kashipur Junction for the Chaiti Mela.

Which message each Kashipur sender may send

Pick a sender and a situation. Each cell shows the kind of WhatsApp message that fits, from a free reply to a message that should wait for consent.

The same four columns apply to every Kashipur business, and most messages fall in the first two: replies to someone who wrote, and updates about an order or a room already booked. The third column is where consent matters. A farmer, a student or a fair visitor who said yes can hear about next season; one who did not should be asked first.

Kashipur in eight lines

From the Udham Singh Nagar district administration, IIM Kashipur and Invest India's ODOP list, with Wikipedia only for the city's history, geography, transport and economy in general terms.

Udham Singh Nagar district was established in October 1995, carved from Nainital district and named after Shaheed Udham Singh; it covers 2,542 sq km, with 9 tehsils and 7 blocks.[1]

Kashipur lies in the Terai of south-western Kumaon, between the Ramganga and Kosi basins, and is drained mainly by the Dhela, a tributary of the Ramganga.[4]

It was Govishana in Harsha's time and was visited by Xuanzang in the 7th century; it is named after Kashinath Adhikari, governor of the Terai under the Chand king Devi Chand, and was ceded to the British in 1801.[4]

Its municipality was set up in 1872 and became a municipal corporation on 26 January 2013; the city has 40 wards, and Kumaoni and Hindi are its main languages.[4]

Farming of rice, wheat and sugarcane is the main activity; paper and sugar mills have a presence in the city, and larger industrial units stand along the Kashipur–Thakurdwara road.[4]

IIM Kashipur, at Kundeshwari, was set up by the Government of India in 2011 and offers MBA, MBA (Analytics), Executive MBA and doctoral programmes.[2]

Kashipur Junction (KPV) links the city to Ramnagar, Kathgodam, Moradabad and Delhi; NH 309 and NH 734 serve it. Drona Sagar, the Maa Balsundari temple and the Chaiti Mela draw visitors.[4]

Invest India's ODOP list names moonj grass products as Udham Singh Nagar's product.[3]

We supply packaging and stores to the paper and sugar mills around Kashipur. Can a mill's stores get our delivery challans on WhatsApp?+

Our grain trading firm buys wheat from the farms around Kashipur. Can we tell growers our buying rate before the harvest?+

Our unit on the Kashipur–Thakurdwara road ships to buyers in Moradabad, across the Uttar Pradesh border. Does the state line change the cost?+

Many of our Kashipur customers speak Kumaoni. Can our templates be approved in Kumaoni?+
No. Kumaoni is not on Meta's template-language list, so approved templates go in Hindi (hi), Punjabi (pa) or English. Inside the 24-hour window your staff can reply in Kumaoni, because free-form replies need no approval.
