The company began life in February 2019 as an influencer marketplace that allowed influencers (especially nano and micro level influencers) partner with different brands. Its focus was to convert consumers into brand marketers and build strong word of mouth advocacy at scale. The team shifted base from Kolkata to Mumbai in September 2019 for better partnerships. Last month, the startup pivoted to the current format to build more stable revenue streams for the influencers and creators. The team believes that there is a bigger untapped opportunity in India for the same, considering the craze around celebrities/influencers in India. Each influencer or celebrity is listed on their platform, with rates specified by them. The user can click on their favorite celebrity and make a payment. S/he receives a shoutout within the next seven days. 

 

They started as an influencer marketplace that ran for over 10 months working with over 100 brands, including Hershey's, Bounce, and Raw Pressery, and on-boarded over 80,000 influencers. In February, they clocked over $150,000 in GMV and $37,000 in revenue, almost jumping 400 percent from the previous month. Since it pivoted, the platform has done 310 shoutouts. Influencer marketing has grown as an industry over the last few years from $1.7 billion in 2016 to $4.6 billion in 2018. According to reports, global influencer marketing is poised to be a $20 billion industry by 2020. Of this, India accounts for a fledgling chunk of between $75 and $150 million.
