Company Proifle - PURNAM

PURNAM was conceptualised to help driven exhibitors to define their own road in life by exposing them to an unlimited number of buyers they would not meet otherwise. PURNAM is an embodiment of the entrepreneurial flair of four spirited ladies. With a passion to serve, Saroj Bhatia, Indu Gupta, Jani Dhingra and Sarita Baluja joined hands to give exposure to entrepreneurs from different parts of the country and enable them to widen their horizons.

The four founders of PURNAM met each other in 1994 while working together for the reputed NGO, Akshay Pratishthan. They organised fund-raising exhibitions in embassies and later realised that they could take this initiative forward by putting together more such events that gave others a platform to showcase their talent and grow their businesses. In 2006, with this inspiration at its core, PURNAM was incepted.

Since 2006, PURNAM has been behind many a successful exhibition in various parts of the country such as New Delhi, Chandigarh, Jalandhar and Ludhiana. They also organised a vibrant and profitable event in Dubai in 2011. Imbued by the values of Akshay Pratishthan, the founders give back to society consistently by sharing a part of the proceeds of their exhibitions for the upliftment of the underprivileged. The core philosophy of PURNAM is to promote exhibitors who display a kaleidoscope of creative talent from all over the country while simultaneously promoting social consciousness.

Over 8 years, the entire team at PURNAM has had an enriching and fruitful experience which has yielded both personal growth and satisfaction in having contributed meaningfully to society. Today, PURNAM endeavours to further broaden its reach by joining hands with like minded-partners in cities across India.
