Local snapshot
InfiQ puts Udupi and Manipal businesses on the official WhatsApp Business API — Kannada/English/Hindi messaging, transparent ₹ pricing, GST invoicing to Karnataka, full BSUID ownership, and go-live in about 2 hours.Built for how Udupi and Manipal businesses actually sell
Udupi is a compact but unusually diverse commercial belt: temple-town retail and hospitality clustered around Car Street and the Krishna Matha, the education and healthcare engine of Manipal drawing students and patients from across India and abroad, coastal enterprises in Malpe running seafood export and beach tourism, and a deep-rooted banking and jewellery tradition that traces back to the region's pioneering role in Indian banking. Each of these runs on fast, trusted conversation — a hostel confirming a room, a hospital sending a report, a boutique announcing a festival collection. WhatsApp is where those conversations already happen, and where Kannada-speaking customers read and reply instead of ignoring an SMS. InfiQ powers all of it on the official WhatsApp Business API, so your messaging carries the verified business name, the compliance Meta requires, and the ownership a serious Udupi business needs.
- Education and coaching — send admission confirmations, fee reminders, exam schedules and hostel updates to students and parents
- Hospitals and clinics — automate appointment booking, report-ready alerts and follow-up reminders in Kannada or English
- Hospitality and tourism — handle booking confirmations, check-in details and Malpe-beach package enquiries
- Jewellery and retail — announce festival collections, share catalogues and confirm custom orders
- Seafood, agri and export traders — send dispatch, invoice and payment-status updates to buyers
Transparent ₹ pricing
Since 1 July 2025, WhatsApp bills per delivered message by category — marketing, utility and authentication — rather than per conversation. The old 24-hour window still exists, but as a free service window for replying to customer-initiated chats, not as a billing unit. InfiQ applies its own platform plans on top of Meta's live per-message rates, quoted in transparent ₹ pricing so you always know what a utility reminder or a marketing broadcast will cost before you send it. Plans start at ₹999 and ₹2,999 per month with an Enterprise tier for higher volumes, all invoiced with GST to your Karnataka business (prices are ex-GST). You choose the mix of message categories that fits your use case; utility and authentication messages typically cost far less than marketing, which rewards Udupi businesses that lead with genuinely useful notifications.
- Marketing, utility and authentication priced per delivered message
- Customer-initiated service replies handled inside the free 24-hour service window
- Plans from ₹999 / ₹2,999 / Enterprise, GST-invoiced to Karnataka (ex-GST)
- Clear ₹ estimates before you broadcast — no surprise end-of-month bills
Onboarding built for Udupi businesses
Getting live is a short, guided path and you keep ownership at every step. First, we verify your business in Meta Business Manager using your GST and registration details. Next, you connect your phone number through Meta's Embedded Signup, which links your account under your own BSUID (Business-Scoped User ID) — you own the number and the account, not InfiQ. Then we help you draft and submit message templates for approval in Kannada, English or Hindi, so your order, appointment and reminder flows are ready on day one. Once templates clear, you go live — typically within 2 hours, once your business is verified. If you want the coveted green tick, we guide the official business-verification requirements too.
- Verify your business in Meta Business Manager with GST and registration details
- Connect your number via Embedded Signup — you retain full BSUID ownership
- Get Kannada / English / Hindi templates approved for your key flows
- Go live, typically in 2 hours once your business is verified
Support and messaging in your language
Udupi's audience is genuinely multilingual — local customers reply fastest in Kannada, students and patients arriving through Manipal often prefer English or Hindi, and NRI families keep in touch across time zones. InfiQ lets you build and automate WhatsApp flows in Kannada, English and Hindi, so a fee reminder, a report alert or a booking confirmation lands in the language the recipient trusts. Our support operates on India hours, so your Udupi team reaches real help during your working day rather than waiting on an overseas queue. InfiQ is WhatsApp-first, meaning the whole platform is purpose-built around getting the most out of the official WhatsApp Business API rather than treating it as one channel among many.
