About Us:-

We are a young marketing services company specializing in strategy development and business process change, which has successfully assisted a wide range of client in successfully operating market-led, customer-driven /channel-drive engagement, incentive, loyalty & rewards programs.

We plan to take our decade long experience expertise in Loyalty / Consumer Engagement Programs to a wider client base across the country (possibly globally) & see Alliances & Partnerships as a strategic role player, rather than it merely being a tactical process of promoting the other elements of the marketing mix.
