It is said that the best gift you can give to a person is Time. A Time that the receivers will remember for the rest of their lives. Gifting a beautiful memory is the most beautiful gift in the world and those who make it possible are the most beautiful people in the world.
Life is all about experiencing the awesomeness which is all around us. The real fun of life is not about collecting things, but creating memories. Evolved consumers of today are looking for a service or a product which is beyond the obvious. They are looking for the richness, depth and detailing in what they consume.

That Experience called Getting Inspired
Earlier known as Giftxoxo.com, it was started as a group gifting company in 2012. Although they were in the space of providing gift items for people, their business model has transformed over a period of time with interim twists and turns during the process.
Giftxoxo started out as a group gifting company that largely catered to the Wedding market, quickly expanded to corporate gifting sector that even led to the creation of a tech interface. During that period, they supplied any gifting item such as, pens, mugs, t-shirts, TV sets, Gift vouchers, Bags, etc. as per corporate requirements. As the company showed good growth, they evolved as per the new gifting trend of “Gifting Experiences”. They ventured into gifting adventure experience like Skydiving or a wellness experience like an Egyptian Spa or a Farming experience in the village. Giftxoxo was curating many such beautiful experiences using the existing corporate gifting channel. With the rising demand in the market to automate and digitize the overall employee reward program in the corporates, they built an enterprise SaaS-based platform named as XoxoEngage.com for corporates through which the corporate companies could digitize their total reward program for the employees.
In the third year of operations, they managed to do a business of 11 crores INR, and in the fourth year, they did a business of close to 40 crores INR. In December 2016, they fine-tuned their business with Xoxoday as one single brand identity to serve Hosts, Guests and Enterprises.
That Experience called Entrepreneurship

The four co-founders attempted to tap into the Wedding market in India and abroad. They built a tech interface for group gifting requirements. When they entered the gifting business for the corporates, they supplied anything and everything, from pens to gift vouchers. Although it gave a huge boost to the growth of the company, they eventually realized the intensity and the manual involvement required to scale the business.
With strong business fundamentals and lowest burn rate in the startup fraternity, the extensive team at Xoxoday is growing organically and continues to sustain with the same vigor.

Xoxoday is providing a rich and engaging user experience through websites and portals. Xoxoday is engaging with several government institutions to reach out to more and more number of Hosts-selling experiences and earns extra from their passion or venture.
Delight is the new normal. Consumers are looking for pleasant surprises and if a business has to grow profitably, it has to be packaged like an experience.
