An auto branding agency that owns its own production

Most of the market works one of two ways. An outdoor advertising agency sells you the space and sends the print job to a vendor, or a printer takes your file and has no idea where the rickshaw actually runs. Both leave a gap, and the gap is where campaigns go wrong — wrong measurement, faded rexine after one monsoon, or no proof the vehicle ever carried your brand.

We work as an auto branding agency and a manufacturer at the same time. The same team plans the city routes, prints the material, stitches the hood and fits it on the rickshaw. That is unusual for an auto ad agency, and it is the reason our quality stays the same whether you book 50 rickshaws or 5,000.

If you are comparing an auto advertising agency for a pan-India rollout, the question worth asking any of us is simple: who actually touches the vehicle? For us, the answer is our own people, in every one of the 200+ cities we cover.

How a campaign actually runs

Most enquiries reach us with a budget and a city, not a media plan. So the first thing we do is work backwards from the area you actually want to be seen in. A hundred rickshaws spread thinly across a metro is weaker than sixty concentrated on the corridors your customers use every day, and we will say so before you book. Once the area and the count are agreed, artwork moves to our own printing floor, hoods are stitched and cured, and field teams fit them rickshaw by rickshaw. Every unit is photographed at the point of installation with GPS coordinates burnt into the image, so the count you paid for is the count you can verify.

A standard city campaign takes about seven to ten working days from approved artwork to fully deployed fleet. Pan-India rollouts run city by city in parallel and typically complete inside three weeks. Through the campaign the hoods stay under warranty — if a panel tears, fades badly or a rickshaw leaves the fleet, we replace it at no extra cost so your paid count never quietly drops.

Why rickshaws, and why in-house manufacturing

An auto rickshaw is the only outdoor medium in India that goes where hoardings cannot: into narrow market lanes, residential colonies, station approaches and school roads. It runs eight to twelve hours a day at eye level in slow traffic, which is exactly the condition in which people actually read an ad. On a cost-per-thousand-impressions basis it consistently undercuts print, radio and static outdoor in the same city.

We manufacture the hoods ourselves rather than buying them in. That is not a detail — it is the reason our pricing holds and our quality does not drift. We control the frame gauge, the fabric weight, the stitching and the print process, so a hood fitted in Coimbatore matches one fitted in Kanpur. It also means we supply hoods as a product in their own right to agencies, fleet owners and rickshaw unions who run their own campaigns.

Who we work with

Our client mix is deliberately broad: real estate launches saturating one suburb, hospitals and diagnostic chains building neighbourhood recall, coaching institutes timing campaigns to admission season, e-commerce and fintech apps driving QR-code installs, FMCG brands supporting retail distribution, and local retailers who simply want the roads around their shop to carry their name. Budgets range from a few dozen rickshaws in a single city to multi-city fleets running for a full quarter.
