Machine learning (ML) provides an effective solution by leveraging data-driven insights to enhance customer engagement and improve retention strategies. This research paper explores the role of ML in customer retention, examining predictive analytics, personalized marketing, sentiment analysis, and recommendation systems. Furthermore, it discusses the challenges associated with ML implementation and suggests future research directions to optimize customer retention strategies in e-commerce healthcare startups.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nIn the rapidly evolving landscape of e-commerce, particularly within healthcare startups, customer retention has emerged as a pivotal factor for sustained success. The cost of acquiring new customers often surpasses that of retaining existing ones, making it imperative for businesses to focus on strategies that enhance customer loyalty and reduce churn. Machine learning (ML) has become a transformative tool in this domain, offering advanced techniques to analyze customer behavior, predict churn, and implement personalized retention strategies.  \nOver the past decade, extensive research has been conducted to explore the application of machine learning in customer retention across various industries, including e-commerce and healthcare. Studies have demonstrated that ML algorithms can effectively predict customer churn by analyzing patterns in customer data, such as purchase history, browsing behavior, and engagement metrics. For instance, a comprehensive framework developed by Jahan and Sanam (2024) integrates customer segmentation, recommendation systems, and churn prediction to counter customer attrition in e-commerce. Their approach combines data preprocessing, exploratory data analysis, feature ranking, and machine learning models like CatBoost for churn prediction, achieving notable precision in identifying at-risk customers.  \nThe application of machine learning in e-commerce began to grow significantly around 2010, driven by advancements in data analytics, the increased availability of large datasets, and the development of powerful algorithms. In e-commerce, ML was initially applied to product  \nMACHINE LEARNING FOR CUSTOMER RETENTION INE-COMMERCE HEALTHCARE STARTUPS  \nSEEJPH Volume XXV,S2,2024, ISSN: 2197-5248;Posted:05-12-2024  \nrecommendations and personalized marketing, but as the industry matured, its scope expanded to include customer segmentation, churn prediction, and sentiment analysis (Shankar et al., 2016) .
