In today’s digital age, it is imperative to possess an online presence aside from the sort and size of one’s business. Those businesses that are not keeping pace with the changing times are probably missing out many potential customers.
Amura Marketing Technologies is a trailblazer in digital marketing which was founded in 2010 by a team of exceptionally talented entrepreneurs. Vikram Kotnis, a serial entrepreneur, introduced Ketan Sabnis, Vinayak Katkar, Pratik Rokade and Kiran Narasareddy, who were working for Fortune 500 companies, to entrepreneurship. Together, these College of Engineering, Pune, graduates founded this fastest growing digital marketing firm.
Key Values to Overcome Roadblocks
Educating clients about the benefits of digital medium was one of the early challenges for Amura. Limited use of technology in real estate industry didn’t help them either and meant like they had very limited marketing budgets. With no visibility into the client’s sales analytics meant they always faced a pushback saying digital doesn’t work. However, this led Amura to build a comprehensive sales and marketing automation platform ‘Sell.Do’, thereby connecting Sales & Marketing functions. Their keen and deep understanding of technology coupled with their talented team helped them to overcome these roadblocks.
