The new rich media features have potential to enhance the “customer’s willingness to buy” products and services by 230%, hence generating a significant return on investment for our advertisers.

This is possible due to extensive flexibility and scalability of our platform supported by deep technical expertise of core team and adaptability to changing market needs.

Our mid-term focus is to benefit business and advertisers across all verticals with our technology services in India. This is in line with our expanding platform and service portfolio. In longer run, we would open our services to other Asian and Western markets.

Is it boot strapped? Are you looking at raising capital in the near future? Yes, we are bootstrapped. We are currently seeking strategic partners who would accelerate our ongoing efforts with their expertise. Although as per our current plans we may not go for raising capital immediately, but we are open to options where it comes as a additional support as part of our strategic association.

Having said that, there is a lot of scope for innovation and improvement in existing technologies in-turn presenting enormous opportunities to identify market needs and deliver appropriate solutions. We have set global benchmarks, which keep us on foot to continuously improvise on quality of platform while delivering on demanding customers.

Any initial challenge which you would like to share? How are you overcoming that?

Since we come from technical background, most of initial challenges came from developing the marketing expertise from ground zero. Nevertheless, it worked out in our favour in a way, that we got early market acceptance for our straightforward approach. Over a period of time, we networked with professionals to compliment our team. Further since we are a young company, we are working on creative models to work with professionals in this space where we could make use of their expertise at different roles in a flexible and cost effective way.
