Introduction
Shesha Ayurveda’s Shark Tank India appearance brought a sudden wave of attention to the brand just as festive season traffic was picking up. More people were reaching its website, but the increase in visitors also meant higher acquisition pressure and a large pool of people who were browsing without being known to the brand.
fastrr helped Shesha Ayurveda respond to both challenges. By bringing together fastrr Ads, fastrr Identify, fastrr Journeys, fastrr Checkout, and Eva, the brand could target audiences more precisely, identify previously anonymous visitors, engage them automatically, and support the journey through checkout.
The Challenge of Managing a Traffic Surge
The Shark Tank India appearance and the beginning of the festive season brought a sharp increase in traffic to Shesha Ayurveda’s website. The brand needed to make the most of that attention without losing efficiency as traffic and acquisition activity increased.
Two challenges stood out.
- Rising acquisition pressure: The sudden increase in demand meant the brand needed to be more selective about where it spent its advertising budget.
- Anonymous website traffic: A large share of new visitors arrived without being identified. Once these visitors left the website, the brand had limited scope to engage them again.
The opportunity was clear. Shesha Ayurveda needed to make more of the traffic it was already attracting, while creating a way to bring previously anonymous visitors into an addressable audience.
How Did fastrr Help Address the Challenge?
fastrr supported Shesha Ayurveda at different points in the customer journey, from bringing relevant audiences to the website to helping them move towards purchase:
- More focused acquisition: With fastrr Ads and Shiprocket Audiences, Shesha Ayurveda ran geo-targeted Meta campaigns focused on high-intent regions. This helped the brand refine its audience selection during a period of heightened traffic.
- Identifying anonymous visitors: fastrr Identify helped the brand recognise previously anonymous visitors by leveraging Shiprocket’s network of more than 150 million users. This turned a previously unknown segment of website traffic into an audience the brand could engage with.
- Automated visitor engagement: fastrr Journeys enabled automated flows for identified visitors, allowing Shesha Ayurveda to follow up based on their journey without relying on manual outreach.
- A smoother checkout experience: fastrr Checkout supported the purchase stage with AI-driven address pre-fill, with accuracy of up to 95%, and Shiprocket Promise, which shows an estimated delivery date before purchase.
- An additional conversational touchpoint: Eva, the AI Shopping Assistant, gave shoppers a way to interact with the brand during their visit while working alongside the Identify and Journeys capabilities.
Together, these capabilities gave Shesha Ayurveda a connected way to manage the increased traffic and move identified visitors further along the purchase journey.

What Can eCommerce Sellers Learn from Shesha Ayurveda?
The Shesha Ayurveda story offers many useful lessons for brands dealing with sudden increases in traffic. These include:
- Plan for what happens after the traffic arrives: A major visibility boost can bring a large number of new visitors. Having a way to identify and engage them can help brands make more of that traffic.
- Do not treat anonymous traffic as a dead end: Visitors who leave without buying may still have shown interest in the brand. Identifying suitable visitors can create an opportunity for further engagement.
- Connect acquisition with conversion: Bringing relevant audiences to a website is only one stage of the customer journey. Identification, engagement, and checkout also need to work together if the brand wants to move visitors towards purchase.
