WHO WE ARE

We’re India’s 1st truly experiential agency driven by creativity, innovation & excellence. With broad spectrum expertise, we have enabled clients across sectors tell their stories, in unimaginable ways.

LEGACY

Our founder Mr. Rehmatali Tobaccowala was a pioneer who paved the way for corporate events in the country through envisioning India’s 1st ever product launch event in 1974 for Unilever brand Rexona. His remarkable journey began in 1945, during the course of which he established himself as the foremost producer of sets & staging for weddings and theatre.

“If it can be done, it will be done.
 If it is to be done, do it well.”


These eternal words of our founder have stood us in good stead. We stay true to his contagious passion for innovation and unwavering commitment to quality.
