The Sad State of InMail

Subject: AI/ML and Big Data Tech Team At COMPANY

I hope you are doing well.

I am writing to you to explore opportunities for our companies to work together.

Over the years, we have built robust capabilities in the area of Big data and AI/ML. We work as an offshore delivery center for a number of US-based tech companies. This engagement gives our clients substantial cost advantage and access to a tech team that works 24/7.

COMPANY India Limited is a publicly listed company on India’s largest stock exchange, National Stock Exchange (NSE), having a team of 350+ developers and architects and 30+ global clients with our Offices in the USA, India & East Africa

Our team is based out of US. Would it be possible to meet you over a cup of coffee sometime in the next few days and share our value proposition?

Regards,

Take 1: Personalization Sandwich (29 words)

Subject: Your Newsletter

Will, in your weekly email you mentioned hiring for AI.

Doesn’t look like you’ve filled the role. Have you considered non-US talent for the position?

Love what you’re building.

 


Take 2: Double Observation (43 words)

Subject: Lavender Product Question

Will – checking out Lavender’s product. Seems like the data it generates is driving a lot of your content.

I’d guess Eng is strapped to focus on roadmap. Any thoughts on a part time AI team to help unearth nuggets for your content strategy?
