What Plink Solutions does

Plink Solutions is a privately held, bootstrapped marketing consultancy headquartered in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Founded in 2007 by Sajith as Cerebrus Partners and later rebranded to Plink Solutions, the firm offers a portfolio of professional services including marketing consultancy, brand management, strategic media planning, franchising consultancy, and customer experience management, delivered under a 'play and think' methodology that combines creative ideation with logical structuring. It also runs training workshops ('Plink your brand') for marketing professionals and management students across institutions such as Mudra Institute of Communications, B.K. School of Management, Gujarat University, ICFAI, and Globsyn.

The firm serves a horizontal mix of clients across SMEs, NGOs, government departments, and start-ups, with named engagements spanning retail (Jade Blue, Greenfibre), entertainment (City Pulse Media India), software/e-governance (Cybersurf India), manufacturing (Solifix Industries), design (Real Monkey Design Studio), education (CEON Solutions / iSchool), and the Government of Gujarat's Forest and Environment Department. Plink also operates a venture arm, with Teetok — an online customized T-shirt retail startup co-founded with Cybersurf India — as its first venture.

Commercially, Plink runs a direct, sales-led consulting engagement model with no publicly disclosed pricing; services are quote-based and tailored to client requirements. The team is small (1–10 employees), non-hierarchical, and founder-centric, with no external institutional investment, no disclosed funding rounds, and operations concentrated regionally in Gujarat within India. The firm pursues social/environmental initiatives such as the Pledge a Tree program (over 2,000 trees planted near Anand) and support for the Niradhar Balsanopan Anath Ashram orphanage in Pune, which function partly as brand-building activities alongside the core consultancy practice.
