How ClickPost Parth Helped MyMuse Resolve 80% of Failed Deliveries on the Same Day
A Brand Challenging Taboos and Leading Change
MyMuse is India’s first luxury personal wellness brand, founded in 2020 by Anushka and Sahil Gupta with the mission to make pleasure and connection easy, safe, and stigma‑free. It has rapidly built a loyal community and served over 150,000 customers across 800+ cities, expanding even into Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets.
Despite this strong upward trajectory, one key operational hurdle continued to drain their valuable time and affect customer experience—managing failed deliveries (NDRs). As MyMuse scaled, the volume of NDRs grew as well, often requiring manual intervention from the operations team.
We had the opportunity to speak with Sharadbabu Narayanan, Operations Lead at MyMuse, to understand how they tackled this challenge with the help of ClickPost’s AI NDR Manager, Parth.
“My team had to manually follow up for everything. It was taking away their bandwidth completely. Because in a day they had to spend 2-3 hours, basically, just following up with NDR cases,” he said, describing the strain on operations before automation came into play.
Where the Gaps Were in a Growing Operation
As MyMuse grew, their order volumes soared—but so did the number of failed delivery attempts. With no automation in place, the operations team had to intervene manually for each NDR case. This created a series of cascading challenges:
1. Manual Follow-Ups Were Consuming Team Bandwidth
Without automation, every NDR follow-up had to be handled manually. This meant hours of phone calls, status checks, and coordination—every single day. The team was spending valuable hours on repetitive tasks instead of focusing on strategy, planning, or improving the customer experience.
2. NDR Resolutions Took Too Long to Close
Because there was no intelligent automation in place, it took them 48 to 72 hours just to resolve one failed delivery. This delay often meant frustrated customers, higher RTOs (returns), and unavoidable losses. Speed was no longer a nice-to-have—it had become essential to maintaining customer trust.
“That being a quite effective for us because earlier it was a completely manual process. It used to take 48-72 hrs.”

3. Peak Season Volumes Made Things More Challenging
During major sale periods or events like Valentine’s Day, the volume of NDRs spiked significantly—up to 30% of all orders. This surge created immense pressure on the team and increased the risk of failed recoveries. Handling this manually was not scalable. MyMuse needed a solution that could keep up with both volume and urgency.
“So the NDR volume gets spiked at that point of time, and it’s more than, like, 30% of the orders coming into failed delivery attempts.”
— Sharadbabu Narayanan
4. Lack of Real-Time Sync with Courier Partners
Delays in updating courier partners after speaking with customers meant that even if a customer wanted redelivery, the response time was slow. The coordination gap led to missed opportunities and longer recovery cycles.
5. Customers Needed a Human-Like, Yet Discreet Touch
As a brand operating in the intimate wellness space, MyMuse needed to maintain a balance: empathetic, human-toned communication that respected customers' privacy—without adding emotional friction.
Recognizing the Breaking Point
Sharadbabu and his team realized they needed more than just more people—they needed a smarter, scalable system that could keep pace with their growth while upholding the brand’s standards of discretion, empathy, and customer experience.
“To scale a brand at a high level, we should introduce AI at any given point of time,” Sharadbabu Narayanan shared. This is where ClickPost’s Parth entered the picture, not as a replacement for the team, but as a powerful extension of it. What began as a tactical fix for NDRs soon sparked interest across the company.
“Parth is being discussed on our company level also, like we are quite excited. Founders and our senior members… quite interested…we daily listen to the calls of Parth —how it’s interacting with the customers.
— Sharadbabu Narayanan
With strong leadership support and a clear operational need, MyMuse was ready to make the shift—from manual workflows to proactive, AI-powered customer recovery.
The Roles ClickPost Parth Plays in MyMuse’s NDR Management
1. 100% Automated NDR Follow-Ups
Parth now handles every NDR case autonomously, reaching out to customers instantly after a failed delivery. It engages them in real-time conversations—rescheduling deliveries, gathering confirmations, or collecting reasons for refusal—all without human intervention.
2. Same-Day Resolution for 80% of NDRs
With Parth acting instantly, the turnaround time on most NDR cases dropped drastically. What used to take 2–3 days now happens within a few hours.
“I can say that resolution on NDR—it has been considerably reduced. So, like 80% of the NDR cases are being solved on the same day itself.”
— Sharadbabu Narayanan
The faster resolution didn’t just improve operational efficiency; it reduced RTOs and improved customer retention during critical moments in the delivery cycle.
3. Solution for Festive Season NDR Pressure
Parth proved especially valuable during high-volume periods like Valentine’s Day, when up to 30% of orders used to get marked as “failed” in the first attempt.
“Parth is completely dedicated to do only the NDR volumes for us. It’s completely taken care by Parth and I feel that in the coming festive season like in valentines, it’d be completely easy for us,” Sharadbabu Narayanan said.
Where manual processes previously buckled under pressure, Parth scaled effortlessly, handling large spikes in NDRs without additional resources.
4. Real-Time Courier Partner Sync for Faster Recoveries
Parth is API-integrated, meaning that the moment a customer confirms or reschedules delivery, the system updates the courier partner immediately. This minimized delays and prevented miscommunication that used to cost time and money.
“Parth is timely calling the customers and it’s like completely API integrated. So, instantly the courier partner gets the update and the delivery time taken by following up by the agent and the Parth AI, it’s a completely a different ball game for us.”
— Sharadbabu Narayanan
5. Human-Like Conversations That Respect Privacy
Despite being an AI, Parth was carefully designed to speak like a human—a must-have for a brand like MyMuse, where discretion and tone matter deeply.
“Customers do not feel that it’s an AI agent altogether. It’s like a human talking to the customers.” Sharadbabu Narayanan noted. “So, in one of the incidents, customer was not aware that he was talking to an AI agent,” he further mentioned.
Equally important was data discretion. With no human agents handling sensitive conversations, the privacy-first ethos of MyMuse remained intact.
“Parth would be communicating to the customer and it’d be a discrete thing. There is no human factor coming into existence. There’d be like…it should not be like an emotional thing with the customer and the agent over here. So, it’s completely a technology blend MyMuse has introduced with the help of ClickPost over here. Here also, like, privacy is given the most importance during the calls also.” Sharadbabu said.

Lessons from the MyMuse Journey
-
Automation isn’t about replacement—it’s about amplification.
Parth didn’t replace the ops team; it supported them by taking over repetitive tasks, freeing up their time for high-impact work. -
Speed is a critical part of customer experience.
Reducing NDR resolution time from 72 hours to same-day recoveries directly impacted satisfaction and reduced RTOs. -
AI can sound human—and that matters.
When customers can’t tell the difference between AI and a human agent, it builds trust without needing extra manpower. -
Scalability must be built into your operations early.
Seasonal spikes in volume don’t need to mean chaos—if the right systems are in place, scale becomes manageable. -
Privacy and discretion are not optional—they’re expected.
In any industry, minimizing human involvement in customer conversations helps preserve trust. -
Leadership buy-in accelerates transformation.
When internal stakeholders—from founders to frontline teams—support innovation, adoption is faster and impact is deeper.
Final Takeaway
Scaling with empathy and efficiency is possible—when a brand embraces the right tools at the right time.
MyMuse’s journey shows that operational challenges like failed deliveries don’t have to hold back growth. By proactively adopting automation that aligned with their values—speed, discretion, and customer care—they not only solved a problem but also strengthened their brand promise.
