For sales and marketing heads at Indian businesses handling hundreds of enquiries a month: compare a sales execution specialist with a CRM tied to billing and service.

Apragya vs LeadSquared is a question for businesses that live on enquiry volume. LeadSquared is an Indian sales execution and marketing automation platform, widely used in sectors with many leads such as education, lending and healthcare.

Apragya's CRM captures leads from forms and ad platforms, assigns them by rule, scores them with AI and follows up with sequences and mass email. The difference is that the converted customer carries on into invoicing, support and accounts on the same record.

This page compares the two fairly, with an illustrative example.

An example: a Bhopal training institute

Take an illustrative institute running ads for its accounting courses and getting a few hundred enquiries a month. Counsellors called in the order leads arrived, so serious students waited behind casual ones.

One enquiry, and everything that followed

One student record

From enquiry to enrolment.

  • Ad lead

    Synced from the lead form.

  • Lead scorer

    Hot, warm or cold with a reason.

  • Counsellor

    Assigned by course and city.

  • Campus visit

    Booked on the public calendar.

  • Fee invoice

    GST invoice on enrolment.

  • Support

    Later queries as tickets.

Scoring decided who was called first, and the record carried on after enrolment.

Counsellors started each morning with the hot list. Campus visits were booked without phone tag, and enrolled students' fee invoices and later queries stayed on the same record. Managers could finally see which ad sources produced students, not just enquiries.
