This is an important customer experience metric as the longer customers wait, the less satisfied they are likely to be.

During the lockdown in April to June quarter, real estate, food delivery and healthcare reported lowest queue time with an average 25.6 seconds. On the other hand, sectors such as e-commerce, Ed-tech and insurance reported highest queue time of average 51.6 seconds.
