What if an innovative approach breaks through cutthroat competition?
While People Group can trace it's origins to the beginning of Shaadi.com in 1996, the Group was formally launched by Anupam Mittal in 2004 to explore opportunities in the Internet and Mobile space. In a few short years the group has earned the reputation for being one of the most innovative businesses in India, having developed brands such as Shaadi.com, Makaan.com and Mauj Mobile.
The group is structured into two different companies - People Interactive and People Infocom.
People Interactive is the Consumer Internet arm of the Group and owns the parent brand Shaadi.com, under which several successful matrimonial businesses are managed. The company also owns Makaan.com, India's fastest growing property and real estate site, as well as Fropper.com, a friendship and social networking service.
People Infocom is managed under the Mauj Mobile brand, widely regarded as one of the pioneers of Mobile Internet in India. Today, Mauj Mobile runs a global content and applications platform and distribution business - including the highly popular mobile destination called Mobango - with strong partnerships with telecom operators and media companies around the world. Mauj and Mobango together drive over one million downloads a day.
People Group has demonstrated consistent growth year-on-year and today operates with over 800 employees across 12 regional and three global offices. In addition, it operates 100 Shaadi Centers in 87 Indian cities.
We are the only Indian company listed as one of the World's 50 Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company in 2011. People Group has won the Deloitte Fast 50 India Award for three consecutive years as well as the Deloitte Fast 500 Asia Award. It is a recipient of the prestigious Red Herring 100 Asia Award and the Emerging India Award held by CNBC.
