These offerings aim to develop and device a compelling and effective communication strategy to narrate the story of the ventures in the most innovative manner.

This unique initiative by Genesis Burson-Marsteller, Step Up, aims at empowering these innovative start-ups to create a space for them in an otherwise cluttered market. We are looking to create the next ‘whatsapp’ story in India!”
