PR (Public Relations) Agency for Startups

Umanshi Marketing is a specialized PR Agency for startups in growth and scale stages. We have worked with over 100 startups since our inception. PR for startups need a different approach and strategy unlike PR for large corporations. We understand their challenges i.e. lack of large marketing branding teams to carry out the desired activities. Hence Umanshi Marketing and PR acts like their outsourced marketing/ PR agency.

Several startups are creating categories due to their innovative approach in product/ service development hence a regular PR roadmap may not be helpful in fulfilling their business ambitions. In fact most of our startup clients have engaged in the PR services for the first time and we have very well hand held them to educate and introduce them to the world of PR.

List of some of the Umanshi PR’s

startup clients:

Our startups come from all backgrounds and are not only proudly innovating but also creating categories thereby going where noone has gone before! The disruptive Educationists (edtech) (Taghive Inc), the benchmark setters dental startup (Dentzz), the revolutionary Fintech (SMECorner), fastest growing QSR in Mumbai (The House of Misal), and many such innovators and curious professionals who want to challenge the norms. We help them change the world; change it for the better.

Startup Client Testimonials

"We were impressed by Umanshi’s out-of-the-box thinking and research-oriented approach, making them the perfect fit for our marketing efforts. We appreciate their clear insights and deep understanding of consumer behaviour, which allows them to structure campaigns that appeal to our consumers and maximize our ROAS.

Dr. Lalitha Palle, Founder & Director, ForMen

Dr Lalitha Palle ForMen Founder
Akshay Sasikumar Founder 82Volt

"Due to their extensive familiarity within the media sector, Umanshi adeptly manoeuvred through the obstacles of capturing interest for a relatively nascent company within a nearly non existent industry. This helped 82Volt move up the ladder from being a no-name among its peers, to being recognised all across India as one of the leading solution providers within the industry"

Akshay Sasikumar, Founder & CEO, 82Volt

"It is a pivotal time for us when we are reimagining our brand. We wanted a marketing and branding agency that would aid us in decoding that while creating a larger thought leadership aura that would be a high point, especially in our business. Umanshi is helping us implement our vision"
