What strategies led to the company’s success amid industry changes?
Sundar Swamy: We’re celebrating our 50th anniversary, having begun our journey in 1973. It’s been an incredible journey marked by substantial growth and diversification. We’ve evolved into a multidisciplinary organisation with robust subsidiaries. Our services span data analytics, market research and integrated marketing solutions. Over these 50 years, we’ve expanded our presence across all major sectors in India and established subsidiaries in the UAE and Bangladesh. This growth has outlined our competitive edge in preparation for our IPO.
Our confidence stems from our belief that we are well-equipped and poised for the next 50 years of growth. We’re geared up with both financial resources and strategic plans to navigate this new journey.
Shekar Swamy: In our journey, we’ve engaged with over 4,000 clients. In fiscal year 2023 alone, we worked with 400 clients. We’ve navigated every category of business, building a profound understanding of the Indian market, client dynamics and the intricacies of the marketing service industry. This statement isn’t a boast; it’s a matter-of-fact acknowledgment of our extensive experience and knowledge.
Can you provide a detailed overview of the innovative initiatives RK Swamy is undertaking?
Shekar Swamy: Our new initiatives focus on two key aspects. First, we aim to undertake a comprehensive build of an auto marketing platform. This move is grounded in the recognition of its significant role in the country’s economic activity, constituting 8 to 12 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) globally, particularly in the realms of transportation and energy.
