Subhajit affirms, “We are a serious business without the formalities! Essentially, we do away with the ceremony but never lose sight of productivity, ownership and client service.

Future Roadmap
Growing its revenue at100 percent rate annually, TM believes that the angel investors have played a crucial role in amplifying its success. Having successfully utilized the two tranches of funding to launch the company and solidify its foundation with the sophisticated portal, it’s now looking forward to its third round of funding to enhance its automation and machine turning abilities. However, unwavering in its line of focus, it turned down an investment offer of Rs.4.72 crore recently as it was too early to divest. With over 70 percent of the top online brands in the country under its belt, TM foresees growing exponentially with its focus on conquering the B2B sector wholly and setting foot in B2C as well. “With automation, we will reach a much larger geography and clientele, and also support a wider range of client needs,” concludes Kiran.
