Giftiicon is an early stage start-up building Indias first instant social gifting app. Unlike other players that primarily rely on gift cards and e-vouchers, Giftiicon provides an engaging, emotionally appealing online platform where users can send and receive specific products as gifts, or nudge their close ones for a specific gift, which could be redeemed at our partner brands' outlets. The aim of Giftiicon is to induce a habit of gifting among people and make it an alternative form of communication. For its partner brands, Giftiicon benefits them by redirecting greater footfall at their outlets and help generate revenue profitably.
