I would like to thank all our clients for entrusting us with their mandates and being a part of this journey. I would also like to thank every team member for the dedication and spirit that has brought us collectively, to the challenger position in a highly cluttered industry.”

“121XP is all about the powerful concoction of novel ideas meeting seamless execution”, said Aniket Sharma, co-founder, 121XP. “As an experiential marketing agency, we believe that having a strong understanding of the end consumer, their preferences and the USPs of the brands in the right context are essential to capture attention and extract decisions. We are agnostic to the platforms – be it offline or online and more focused on the objective. This is what puts us out-of-the-line in an otherwise straightjacketed industry”, added Aniket.
