Aiera Live · Helios call desk
Two live voice agents run on this brand: a sales and enquiry agent, and a customer support agent. Both speak English with natural Hinglish switching, close within a 300 second ceiling and end with a WhatsApp or callback offer.
Agent 01
Sales and enquiry — Aditi
Calls back new enquiries, explains the range in two or three lines, and books a store or advisor appointment. Never quotes exact prices or discounts.
cd21608b-7820-423a-9e63-db3bf0096217
Agent 02
Customer support — Neha
Takes the issue, repeats it back to confirm, states the next step and who will do it, and escalates to a senior advisor when the store or service centre is needed.

Rules the desk follows
A slot is only offered when the calendar shows it open; the agent never promises a time it cannot hold.
Every appointment carries a named person at the store, not just a store name.
A no show is called once, the same day, and re-offered a different window.

Escalation rules
Any job past its standard turnaround is escalated to the store manager the same day.
A second complaint on the same job goes straight to a senior advisor, never back to the agent.
Warranty decisions are never communicated by the agent until the service centre has confirmed them.
Messaging desk
Not every conversation deserves a call. Where a message clears the volume more cheaply and more politely, the desk sends a message.

How the desk behaves on it
The agent confirms the model and serial from the record before discussing any warranty position.
Warranty outcomes are only stated after the service centre confirms them.
Book sizes are modelled from the 200+ helios stores and comparable programmes. Each one is replaced with the brand's own figure in the first data session.
Loyalty desk
Tier movement is the cheapest growth on this brand: a member about to slip a tier is worth a call, and a member one purchase away from the next tier is worth two.

A trigger only ever opens a call window. It never sends an offer, a price or a discount on its own.

Warranty and service triage agent
The bottleneck. Service questions land on retail staff who cannot see the job, so a Helios customer calls three times to learn a watch is still at the service centre.
What gets built. A triage agent that takes the symptom, identifies the job type across 3 categories, quotes the standard turnaround, checks warranty eligibility from the purchase record and calls back at every status change.
Who uses it. Service head, service centres, retail floor
Why it holds. Job-type taxonomy and turnaround commitments taken from the brand's own service network data.

Launch and stock matcher
The bottleneck. Customers ask for a specific reference the nearest store does not hold, and the answer today is a guess followed by a lost sale.
What gets built. A matcher that reads live store stock against the enquiry, offers the two nearest stores that hold the reference or the closest in-stock alternative in the same band, and holds the piece for 48 hours across 4 regions.
Who uses it. Retail and channel team, planning, e-commerce
Why it holds. Alternative recommendations scored on movement, case size and price band, not on generic similarity.

Enquiry-to-appointment agent
The bottleneck. Enquiries reach Helios faster than the floor can call them back. The ones called on day three convert at a fraction of the ones called inside the hour.
What gets built. A voice agent that calls every new enquiry within the hour in the caller's language, qualifies category and budget band without quoting a price, and writes a held slot into the advisor calendar at 200+ locations.
Who uses it. Retail and channel team, store managers, advisors

Dormancy and reactivation engine
The bottleneck. 3,40,000 identities in the Helios book have gone quiet, and the estate has no ranked reason to call any one of them today.
What gets built. A scoring engine that reads recency, category, ticket and last conversation, then publishes a dated call list per store with a five step ladder and a hard stop rule, across 4 segments.
Who uses it. Customer and loyalty team, regional heads
Why it holds. The stop rule and consent ledger mean the same customer is never worked twice for the same reason across channels.
Moves: Reactivated customers per month. Impact 86/100 against 28/100 build effort, payback 8 weeks.
Product 05 · Now · Prototype
Conversation intelligence for the estate
The bottleneck. Nobody at Helios can answer what customers actually asked for last week without listening to calls one by one.
What gets built. Every call and chat transcribed, coded to a reason taxonomy, and rolled up to region, store and category, with the top rising objection surfaced weekly at issue level only.
Who uses it. Marketing and campaigns team, category heads, quality
Why it holds. A reason taxonomy built for this vertical, scored at issue level and never at individual advisor level.
Moves: Objections resolved before escalation. Impact 89/100 against 42/100 build effort, payback 10 weeks.
Impact and effort are scored by the build team on the brand's own volumes, and are re-scored at the month six review.

Customer describes the fault in their words; the agent classifies it to a job type without jargon.
02
Job matched
Matched to one of 3 job types, from Authorised brand service intake (21 days) to Battery and pressure test (2 days).

Warranty resolved
Purchase record checked for the warranty window and coverage; outcome stated on the call, not later.
04

Nearest service point or collection option offered, with the turnaround committed on the call.

How a drill reaches the floor
Monday: the week's calls are scored and the lowest behaviour is picked by number, not by opinion.
Tuesday: three good calls and three weak calls on that behaviour are clipped, with identities masked.
Wednesday: the script line is rewritten and pushed to both the human desk and the voice agent.
Friday: the same behaviour is re-scored and the movement is reported to Head of retail and trade.
Scores are modelled on the current script and comparable Indian voice desks until the brand's own recordings are connected. No individual advisor is ranked, scored or named in any output.

Every conversation is scored on the same five dimensions, at issue and store level, so quality is a number the brand can argue with.

The read
Helios retains strong retail momentum with its Luxe expansion, but recurring online fulfillment friction and Ethos's luxury boutique growth demand immediate operational attention.
Helios is leveraging Titan's backing to scale Helios Luxe across Tier II and III cities, supporting its ₹1,200 Cr+ retail scale. Simultaneously, Ethos is capturing the regional luxury market by surpassing 100 boutiques and leveraging aggressive price negotiation. Meanwhile, persistent consumer complaints about out-of-stock online orders and unresponsive service threaten Helios's customer retention. Leadership must immediately fix digital order-to-inventory synchronization while accelerating offline Luxe deployments to defend against specialty luxury retail rivals.
Written off 60 sources for Helios. Every claim is backed by the linked sources under each bucket.

Brand online reputation
What are customers saying about the brand in public, and what is the recurring complaint?
Persistent e-commerce stock mismatches and delayed deliveries harm customer trust
Public consumer feedback reveals sharp dissatisfaction with Helios's online ordering and fulfillment processes. Buyers repeatedly report instances where items are listed in stock during checkout, only to be marked unavailable post-payment, alongside month-long shipping delays. This has depressed customer ratings on public review portals, directly contrasting with Titan's reputation for dependable offline retail service.
Customer complaints highlight watches being marked out of stock after successful order placement
MouthShut reviews show ratings at 2.3 out of 10 driven by delivery delays exceeding one month
Multiple complaint forum entries cite poor response systems and failure of order status intimation
What to do next: Audit e-commerce warehouse synchronization to prevent backorders and set automated customer communication triggers.

Retail network and expansion
Where is retail space being added, by the brand and around it?
Aggressive expansion is underway to take Helios Luxe into Tier II and III cities
Titan has established an aggressive roadmap to scale its specialized Helios Luxe network from approximately 15 stores to 100 by FY30. Network growth is actively penetrating Tier II and III cities such as Varanasi, Kolhapur, and Allahabad to capture unserved regional wealth. Recent additions in metro hubs like Bengaluru and Delhi demonstrate that the core network continues to densify alongside new regional format launches.

Digital and social conversation
What is the brand's conversation on social, creator and video platforms?
Helios is pivoting digital marketing toward in-house creator-led video content
Helios India is actively building an internal creator engine to script and produce short-form video content for Instagram and YouTube. The focus is shifting toward high-conversion product demos, use-case Reels, and performance ad creatives for Meta and Google campaigns. As consumer watch discovery increasingly shifts toward influencer styling and unboxing videos, owning creator workflows allows faster campaign turnarounds.
