Maino AI

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and position.

I am the Growth Marketing Specialist

Describe what your company does in a single sentence.

One of India’s leading hyperlocal, vernacular platforms, built for the 900 million Indians who live and transact in their regional languages rather than in English. We operate a house of focused apps across multiple verticals alongside local news, jobs and classifieds. We run large-scale, always-on performance marketing across these verticals to drive user acquisition.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Maino AI to accomplish?

• Eliminate the need for someone to constantly monitor campaign performance across multiple verticals, each with its own campaigns and cost benchmarks.
• Automate budget actions — alert the team or pause ads automatically when cost or performance crosses a set threshold at the campaign, ad set, or ad level.
• Reduce wasted ad spend by catching cost spikes and performance drops in real time instead of after the fact.
• Speed up and standardize budget changes, cutting manual back-and-forth and human error

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Maino AI provided an AI-powered performance marketing platform centered on its Dynamic Budget Allocator (DBA) to automate budget management and monitoring across our verticals. Key deliverables: Dynamic Budget Allocator (DBA) — rule-based automation at the campaign, ad set, and ad level that alerts the team or automatically stops an ad when cost or performance crosses a defined threshold, configured per vertical (Matrimony, Dostt, Astro). In-platform budget management, so budget changes are made directly through the platform without manual back-and-forth, reducing human error. A real-time report with AI Insights that identifies the top and bottom contributors to cost-per-purchase movement, showing exactly where budget decisions are needed and why. Setup and onboarding support — the Maino team translated our existing pen-and-paper strategies into platform rules and helped tune thresholds and alert conditions for each vertical.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Saved meaningful ad spend by catching performance spikes in real time, instead of after the budget had already been wasted. More than 50% of monitoring and optimization time saved through the platform’s AI features. 71–90% of users fully adopted the platform across the team. Significantly reduced the manual monitoring burden and cut human error in budget changes.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Their team is hands-on throughout. They were involved across the entire setup, helping us convert our strategies from pen and paper onto the platform and tune the DBA rules for each vertical. We went live in under a day, and the team was responsive whenever we needed adjustments at the scale we operate.

What was your primary form of communication with Maino AI?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The Dynamic Budget Allocator running alerts and automated actions continuously in the background — so the team only needs to step in when a decision actually requires judgment, while everything else is handled by the rules we set. Combined with the AI Insights that pinpoint the top and bottom contributors to cost-per-purchase movement, it cut our monitoring time sharply and made budget decisions faster and more accurate.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Maino AI could have done differently?

Getting the DBA rules configured correctly for each vertical took some upfront effort — thresholds and alert conditions need to be thought through carefully at the scale we operate. Having more guided templates or default conditions from the very beginning could speed that initial setup up. That said, the Maino team was involved throughout and helped us get it right.
