Regional Public Relations

What Regional Public Relations does

Regional Public Relations (RPR), founded in 2009, is an India-headquartered communications consultancy delivering full-service public relations and influencer marketing to financial, B2B, and consumer-facing clients. Operating under the proprietary 'Unboxed Communications' positioning, the firm offers six core service modules: corporate communications, media relations, digital & creative (including a 'Studio Orange' line covering SEO, paid media, video production, and branded entertainment), regional PR via an affiliate network spanning 185+ Indian cities and towns, crisis & issues communications, and online reputation management (ORM). RPR also publishes 'Knowledge Reports' as a market intelligence add-on.

RPR's revenue model is professional services: client engagements are quote-based and span retainer and project work across startups, mid-sized organizations, and enterprises. The client portfolio claims marquee global financial-services brands (Voya, Edward Jones, GE, Genworth, Silicon Valley Bank, Franklin Templeton, Bloomberg, Munich RE, Goldman Sachs, Ally Financial, OppenheimerFunds, Hamilton Lane, Nomura) alongside Indian brands such as Kent RO Water Purifiers, Tata Stryder, and Somany Ceramics. Several of these logos and page templates are licensed or adapted from Prosek Partners (a US-based PR firm), referencing Prosek's terms of use and Connecticut address — a fact pattern requiring verification of which entities are genuinely contracted RPR clients.

Distribution is anchored at the Delhi/NCR headquarters with five additional offices in Noida, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, and Chandigarh, supplemented by the 185-city Indian affiliate network and international reach through the Go Group Communication Network and ASIAN Network across 11 markets. The firm states it has executed 5,000+ PR campaigns with a 15-day results delivery promise and maintains a flat, entrepreneur-led operating culture. Founded by Vivek Sood as Director alongside Ruchi Sood (Director), Sugandha Gupta (Associate Director), and Sahil Arora (General Manager), RPR remains privately held with no disclosed investors, parent company, or audited financials.
