Promotedge marks 11 years with expansion into D2C and performance marketing
Kolkata-based agency strengthens global footprint and launches new platforms.
MUMBAI: Promotedge has spent 11 years quietly building momentum and now it’s ready to take a much bigger leap. The Kolkata-based integrated marketing and branding agency, founded in 2015, has completed 11 years of steady growth, evolving from a local creative firm into a full-service marketing partner with a growing international presence. With operational hubs in the US and Canada through its platform PromotEdgeDigital, the agency now serves clients across India, the US, Canada, Australia, and the Middle East.
Over the past 11 years, Promotedge has partnered with more than 200 businesses across diverse industries. Guided by its “Digitally Desi” philosophy which blends cultural insight with data-driven execution, the agency offers end-to-end services including web solutions, digital marketing, creative design, brand planning, and audio-visual production.
In its eleventh year, the agency made significant strides by developing branded IPs and content series for the automotive and industrial sectors, creating audio-visual content for international sporting bodies like the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball, and strengthening its performance marketing capabilities, particularly on quick-commerce platforms such as Zepto, Blinkit, Flipkart, and Swiggy Instamart.
To further boost its D2C focus, Promotedge has integrated the operations of Fizzle Digital into its performance marketing division, now led by founders Avi Saraf and Jhalak Agarwal. The agency continues to serve B2B clients in sectors like steel, energy, engineering, and infrastructure.
Beyond traditional services, Promotedge has introduced new platforms. DesiMachines is an online marketplace for heavy engineering and construction equipment, supported by two financial institutions and six top OEMs. The agency also launched Pexora, a joint venture with Prodigy focused on workspace design, branding, experiential marketing, and Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) solutions in Eastern and North Eastern India.
Additionally, Promotedge nurtures The Trip Space, a boutique travel brand that curates personalised, luxury journeys for high-net-worth travellers.
Promotedge CEO Saurav Agarwal said, “PromotEdge has always been built with a long-term vision. Our goal is to develop capabilities that provide long-term value to our clients.”
As it approaches its 12th year, the agency plans to expand its global clientele, deepen D2C and performance marketing capabilities, invest in AI-enabled solutions, and strengthen its platform-led initiatives.
From a modest start in Kolkata to building platforms and partnerships across borders, PromotEdge is proving that smart, culturally rooted marketing can travel far and deliver real impact. The agency is clearly gearing up for an even bigger chapter ahead.

Info Edge reshuffles senior roles, Ambrish Singh to 99acres, Bhisham Dhingra to lead Shiksha strategy
Leadership changes at Shiksha and 99acres aim to drive sharper growth focus
MUMBAI: Info Edge (India) Limited has approved an internal reorganisation of its education and real estate verticals, setting the stage for leadership changes aimed at sharpening execution and accelerating growth. The move, cleared by the board on April 14 through a circular resolution, will come into effect from May 1, 2026.
The restructuring impacts the company’s Shiksha and 99acres businesses, two key pillars in its portfolio, and involves role changes for senior management personnel. As part of the reshuffle, Ambrish Kumar Singh, previously executive vice president and head of sales and customer delivery for Shiksha, has been redesignated as executive vice president and head of sales and sales enablement at 99acres. A long-time company leader since 2003, Singh is expected to focus on boosting business performance, strengthening client relationships and building high-performing teams in his new role.
Meanwhile, Bhisham Dhingra, who led sales and customer delivery at 99acres, will now take on an expanded mandate as head of sales, strategy and client delivery for Shiksha. With over two decades of experience across global and Indian organisations, Dhingra will spearhead growth strategy, corporate sales and client engagement for the domestic education vertical.
Both executives will continue as senior management personnel, albeit with revised responsibilities aligned to the company’s broader restructuring goals.
Info Edge said the changes are part of ongoing efforts to leverage leadership expertise across business lines and improve operational effectiveness. The company added that the reshuffle is designed to drive stronger outcomes by aligning talent with evolving business priorities.
As Info Edge continues to fine-tune its structure, the latest leadership moves suggest a clear intent to keep its core platforms nimble, competitive and ready for the next phase of growth.
