Our Story
India's Most Trusted Name in Out-of-Home Advertising
Sankalp Media Group was founded in 2013 with a simple conviction: outdoor advertising in India deserves the same level of accountability, transparency, and strategic rigor that brands expect from digital marketing. Over the past 11 years, we have built India's largest independently operated OOH network - serving over 850 brands across 20+ cities in India, with extended operations in Dubai and Malaysia.
We are not a media buying desk that resells inventory. We are an execution-first agency that maintains direct relationships with auto unions, RWA federations, municipal bodies, newspaper distributors, and fleet operators in every city we serve. This gives our clients something rare in Indian OOH: guaranteed execution quality, verifiable reach metrics, and pricing that reflects actual costs rather than layered markups.
From auto-rickshaw branding on the streets of Mumbai to taxi wraps on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai, and newspaper inserts distributed through Malaysian dailies - Sankalp Media Group delivers outdoor advertising that is planned with intelligence, executed with precision, and reported with honesty. Every campaign we deliver is backed by our ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system and our membership in the Indian Outdoor Advertising Association (IOAA).

Who We Are
Sankalp Media Group is a full-service Out-of-Home advertising agency that operates at the intersection of traditional outdoor media and modern campaign management technology. Unlike conventional OOH agencies that function as media brokers - simply reselling billboard inventory or auto-rickshaw placements from third-party vendors - we operate as a vertically integrated execution partner. We maintain direct contractual relationships with auto-rickshaw unions in every city, we negotiate directly with municipal corporations for hoarding permits, we work with RWA federations for residential community branding, and we coordinate with newspaper distribution centers for insert placement. This vertical integration eliminates the middlemen that typically inflate costs and dilute execution quality in Indian outdoor advertising.
Our team of over 50 professionals spans campaign strategists, creative designers, city operations managers, production supervisors, and account managers. Every client engagement follows a structured four-phase methodology - Research, Strategy, Execution, and Analytics - governed by our ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system. This process-driven approach ensures that whether you are running a 100-auto campaign in a single city or a multi-format national campaign across 20 cities, the execution standard remains consistent and verifiable.
What differentiates Sankalp Media Group from other OOH agencies in India is our refusal to compromise on three principles: execution transparency, client-first recommendations, and on-ground accountability. We have built a business model where our success is directly tied to our clients' campaign outcomes - not to how much media inventory we can push. This philosophy has earned us a 70%+ client retention rate and a roster of 850+ brands that includes FMCG leaders, e-commerce platforms, fintech companies, D2C startups, and multinational corporations operating in India, the UAE, and Malaysia.
Our Mission
“To make outdoor advertising in India as measurable, accountable, and results-driven as any digital marketing channel - by combining on-ground operational excellence with data-backed campaign intelligence.”
The Indian OOH industry has historically operated in opacity. Rate cards are inflated, campaign execution is inconsistent, and reporting is often based on estimates rather than verifiable data. Sankalp Media Group exists to change this reality. Our mission is to professionalize outdoor advertising in India by introducing the same standards of accountability, transparency, and performance measurement that advertisers demand from digital and programmatic media.
We are building an OOH ecosystem where every rupee spent is traceable, every impression is estimable, every placement is photographically documented, and every campaign outcome is measurable against predefined objectives. This mission drives every decision we make - from the vendors we partner with, to the reporting tools we build, to the pricing models we offer.
Our Core Values
Every decision we make - from which cities to enter, to which vendors to partner with, to how we structure pricing - is guided by four non-negotiable principles.
Precision Execution
Every campaign is executed with military-grade precision. GPS tracking, photographic documentation, and real-time reporting ensure you see exactly what you paid for. Our 99.2% campaign delivery rate is the highest among independent OOH agencies in India. We do not promise what we cannot deliver, and we document every installation, every placement, and every deployment with timestamped photographic evidence.
Radical Transparency
No hidden costs, no inflated rate cards, no opaque billing. Every quote is itemized with a clear breakdown of media costs, production costs, and service fees. Every report is factual with verifiable metrics. Every claim is backed by documentation. We publish our pricing methodology and invite clients to audit any campaign at any time. This level of transparency is rare in the Indian OOH industry, and it is non-negotiable for us.
Client-First Thinking
We do not sell inventory - we solve marketing challenges. If outdoor advertising is not the right medium for your objective, we will tell you honestly. If a smaller fleet size would achieve the same impact in your target zone, we will recommend it. Our strategists are measured on client ROI, not on revenue generated per campaign. This approach has earned us a 70%+ client retention rate over 11 years.
On-Ground Intelligence
Our city managers live in the cities they serve. They know the traffic patterns and the daily commuter flows. They understand seasonal variations and festival-driven footfall changes. They maintain relationships with auto unions, RWA federations, municipal permit offices, and newspaper distribution centers. This on-ground intelligence gives our campaigns an execution advantage that no centralized agency can replicate.
11 Years of Building India's OOH Infrastructure
From a single-city auto branding operation to a three-country advertising network - every year has added new capabilities, new markets, and new trust.
Founded in Mumbai
Sankalp Media Group was established with a clear mission: to bring accountability and transparency to outdoor advertising in India. Operations began with auto-rickshaw branding in Mumbai and Delhi, partnering directly with auto unions to guarantee execution quality from day one. The founding team identified a critical gap in the Indian OOH market - advertisers were paying premium rates but receiving inconsistent execution with no verifiable proof of campaign delivery.
Expanded to 5 Cities
Added Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai to the operational network, establishing dedicated city managers in each market. This expansion was driven by client demand for multi-city campaigns with consistent execution standards. The company introduced GPS-tracked auto branding and photographic campaign documentation as standard operating procedures, setting a new benchmark for the Indian OOH industry.
500th Campaign Delivered
Crossed the 500-campaign milestone and expanded service offerings to include billboard hoardings and LED mobile van campaigns. The company also launched its proprietary campaign reporting system, providing clients with weekly photographic documentation and monthly impression estimates. Partnerships with municipal bodies in multiple states strengthened the operational backbone.
10 Cities, 1,000 Campaigns
Reached 10-city operational coverage across India and delivered the 1,000th campaign. Added RWA (Residential Welfare Association) branding and shop name board advertising to the service portfolio. The company established itself as a one-stop outdoor advertising agency capable of handling multi-format, multi-city campaigns for national brands. Client retention rate exceeded 70%, validating the execution-first approach.
International Expansion - Dubai
Launched taxi advertising operations in Dubai, UAE, becoming one of the few Indian OOH agencies with a direct international presence. Established relationships with major Dubai taxi franchise operators and the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). This expansion opened a new revenue stream and allowed Indian brands with Gulf market aspirations to work with a single, trusted agency for both domestic and international campaigns.
Malaysia Operations Launched
Extended services to Malaysia with newspaper insertion advertising across major Malaysian dailies including The Star, Sin Chew Daily, Berita Harian, and New Straits Times. This multilingual newspaper market provided the perfect complement to the company's India and Dubai operations, enabling brands to reach Southeast Asian audiences through high-engagement print media.
20+ Indian Cities
Reached 20-city operational coverage across India with a network spanning from metro cities like Mumbai and Delhi to emerging markets like Indore, Nagpur, and Visakhapatnam. Crossed 2,000 campaigns delivered and established umbrella branding and no-parking board advertising as additional service verticals. The company was recognized as one of India's fastest-growing independent OOH agencies.
2,400+ Campaigns, 3 Countries
Serving over 850 brands with 9 distinct OOH advertising formats across India, Dubai, and Malaysia. The company achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification for quality management systems and became a recognized member of the Indian Outdoor Advertising Association (IOAA). Campaign delivery rate stands at 99.2%, with an average client satisfaction score of 4.7 out of 5.
Our Methodology
Every Sankalp Media Group campaign follows a structured four-phase process designed to deliver measurable results with complete transparency.
Research & Discovery
Every campaign begins with deep market research. We analyze your target audience demographics, geographic distribution, daily commute patterns, and competitive media landscape. Our city managers conduct on-ground recce of proposed locations. We study traffic density data, footfall patterns, and visibility angles to identify the highest-impact placements for your brand. This research phase typically spans 3-5 business days and results in a data-backed location and format recommendation.
Strategy & Planning
Based on research findings, our strategists develop a comprehensive media plan that specifies the recommended OOH formats, city-wise fleet sizes, campaign duration, geographic zones, and estimated daily impressions. We present multiple plan options - budget-optimized, reach-maximized, and balanced - so you can choose the approach that aligns with your marketing objectives and budget. Every plan includes a transparent cost breakdown with no hidden fees.
Execution & Deployment
Once the plan is approved, our production and operations teams take over. Creative designs are finalized within regulatory specifications, printing is handled by quality-certified vendors, and installations are scheduled for maximum campaign efficiency. Every auto, taxi, hoarding, or insert placement is photographed and GPS-tagged. Our city managers personally oversee installations in every market to ensure brand guidelines are followed precisely.
Analytics & Reporting
Throughout the campaign lifecycle, we provide structured reporting with photographic documentation, estimated impression counts by zone, and campaign health metrics. Weekly status reports keep you informed of deployment progress, and monthly analytics reports provide a comprehensive view of reach, frequency, and geographic distribution. Post-campaign, we deliver a final report with complete ROI analysis and recommendations for future campaigns.
Our Team & Leadership Philosophy
Sankalp Media Group is led by a team of advertising industry veterans with deep expertise in outdoor media operations, media planning, creative strategy, and on-ground execution. The leadership team brings together decades of combined experience across India's OOH ecosystem, having worked with auto unions, municipal bodies, fleet operators, and newspaper publishers across every major Indian market.
Our organizational philosophy is built on decentralized expertise with centralized standards. Each city market is managed by a dedicated city manager who possesses deep local knowledge - understanding which routes deliver the highest impressions, which auto unions are most reliable, which RWA communities are most receptive to branded installations, and which seasonal events create peak advertising demand. These city managers operate with autonomy in local execution decisions but report into a central quality management framework that ensures brand guidelines, reporting standards, and client communication protocols are consistent nationwide.
The company invests heavily in continuous training for its operations teams, with quarterly skill development programs covering new media formats, digital reporting tools, regulatory compliance updates, and client relationship management. This investment in human capital is reflected in the company's industry-leading 99.2% campaign delivery rate and its 4.7/5 average client satisfaction score.

Client Success Philosophy
At Sankalp Media Group, client success is not measured by the size of the media booking - it is measured by the impact of the campaign on the client's business objectives. This philosophy manifests in every interaction: our strategists will recommend a smaller campaign if that better serves the client's goals, our operations team will flag potential execution risks before they impact campaign delivery, and our account managers proactively share optimization insights rather than waiting for clients to ask questions.
We have built a culture where every team member understands that our long-term growth depends entirely on our clients' long-term success. This is why 70% of our revenue comes from repeat clients - brands that have experienced the Sankalp difference and choose to work with us campaign after campaign, year after year. Our client portfolio spans FMCG giants, e-commerce platforms, fintech disruptors, D2C startups, and multinational corporations - all of whom share one common experience: they know that when they work with Sankalp Media Group, every commitment will be honored, every placement will be verified, and every rupee will be accounted for.
