Consortium Gifts: India’s Homegrown Gifting Brand Making Global Waves

In 1999, a small idea took root in the living room of a modest home in Delhi, a seed that would grow into one of India’s most respected corporate gifting powerhouses. With just ₹10,000 in hand and an ambition to bring order, creativity, and consistency to a fragmented market, Consortium Gifts was born.

What began as a one-person MSME startup has now become a globally recognized brand, recently making headlines as the only Indian company named to the PPAI 100 List of 2025—a milestone that cements its leadership in the global promotional products industry.

Redefining Gifting in India

At the turn of the millennium, corporate gifting in India was largely informal, dominated by unorganized players and lacking both quality and innovation. Consortium Gifts entered the scene with a clear mission: to bring structure, reliability, and design thinking to the category.

From its very first order, a humble yet promising partnership with Maruti, the company set the tone for a long journey marked by excellence. Over the years, its client base grew to include industry giants such as Microsoft, BMW, Salesforce, Apollo Tyres, and over 300 other prestigious names.

Driven by Values, Powered by Innovation

What sets Consortium Gifts apart is its unwavering commitment to three core values: Quality, Innovation, and Service. These aren’t just words—they’re the engine behind everything the company creates and delivers.

• Over the past three years, client retention has increased by 35%.
• The company enjoys 20% year-on-year revenue growth—a testament to its trusted relationships.
• In 2024, it had its most successful year yet, particularly in premium gifting.

To meet changing client needs, Consortium also launched online brand stores for key accounts, custom platforms that streamline gifting while enhancing personalization.

Signature Collections for the Modern Brand

The company’s in-house product development team has launched several standout collections that reflect a fusion of elegance, utility, and sustainability.

The Boardroom Collection brings together items like bamboo wine sets, leather money clips, sleek desk sets, and the innovative E Tie Rack, gifts that speak to today’s professional lifestyle.

The Wow Taj Collection, with its USB notebooks, serene dome night lights, and stylish notepads, infuses charm into everyday essentials, turning utility into a statement.

Each product is designed not just to impress, but to carry the client’s brand with meaning and intention.

Tech-First, Future-Ready

As client expectations evolved, Consortium Gifts stayed ahead by integrating AI-powered customization, 3D prototyping, UV printing, and rapid prototyping into its operations.

This digital-first approach has improved order accuracy by 40%, cut turnaround times nearly in half, and contributed to a 95% client satisfaction rate.

A Sustainability Trailblazer

With more than 60% of corporate clients choosing eco-friendly gifting options, Consortium Gifts embraced sustainability not as a trend, but as a responsibility.

The company now uses ocean-recovered plastics, biodegradable tech accessories, recycled aluminum, and ethical sourcing across its product lines. Looking ahead, it is preparing to launch collections made from recycled steel and ocean-waste fabrics.

Sustainability isn’t a side note, it’s central to the company’s philosophy and competitive edge.

Global Reach, Local Heart

Though headquartered in India, Consortium Gifts has built a global footprint through its longstanding membership in IGC Global Promotions, a network of 41 top-tier gifting companies worldwide.

In 2024, the company’s exports accounted for 25% of total business, thanks in part to strategic alliances with FedEx, DHL, and UPS that improved global shipping by 15%.

And in a moment of national pride, Consortium Gifts became the only Indian MSME to be featured in the PPAI 100 List in 2025, standing shoulder to shoulder with the world’s most respected gifting brands.

Leadership with a Vision

Behind the brand stands its founder, Gaurav Bhagat, whose early entrepreneurial success and later training with global sales expert Grant Cardone helped shape the company’s bold mindset.

He may now be known for his work as a sales coach and founder of the Gaurav Bhagat Academy, but it was his quiet perseverance and vision that laid the foundation for Consortium’s culture of excellence. Under his leadership, the company also supports India’s MSME ecosystem by mentoring entrepreneurs and promoting scalable job creation.

Ready for the Next Leap

As Consortium Gifts celebrates its 25th year in 2025, the company is entering a transformative phase:

• New offices in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Pune
• A 40,000 sq. ft. production and logistics hub in the NCR
• A catalogue of over 3,000 premium gifting products
• New launches focused on sustainability, design innovation, and automation

As market forecasts project India’s corporate gifting industry to surpass ₹1.2 lakh crore and global trends lean toward hyper-personalized, sustainable products, Consortium Gifts is perfectly positioned to lead the charge.

A Brand That Represents More

Consortium Gifts is more than a gifting company. It is an MSME success story, an innovator, a sustainability pioneer, and now, a name that commands respect on the global stage.

From a ₹10,000 start to the PPAI 100 list, it reminds us that the most extraordinary journeys often begin in the most ordinary places, with belief, purpose, and an uncompromising will to create something that lasts.
