What Bold and Beyond does

Bold and Beyond is a full-service public relations, branding, and marketing agency headquartered in Bangalore, India, with offices in Hyderabad and Mumbai. The firm delivers six integrated service lines — Public Relations, Influencer Marketing, Branding & Strategy, Social Media, Photography & Film, and Experiential Events — to enterprise clients across hospitality, luxury, food & beverage, alco-beverage, lifestyle, wellness, technology, and pet care. Its named client roster includes Disney, Hilton, Marriott, Four Seasons, Shangri-La, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Swiggy, Bacardi, Heineken Silver, and Groww, alongside venture-stage brands such as Mikiamo Limoncello, Paper & Pie, and Foo.

The agency operates a human-led, project-based service model rather than a technology platform. It does not develop proprietary software, AI models, or automation tooling; competitive advantage is built on relationships, creative execution, and a curated 1,000+ influencer and media network that includes partnerships with Condé Nast Traveller, Travel + Leisure, and Indulge. Reported campaign outcomes — such as 1.6M reach and 172 media mentions for The Leela Palace, 5.15M reach for Anna Chandy's mental health campaign, and 90-95% sustained occupancy for the Ayatana resort — are documented as earned-media results rather than productized performance metrics.

Bold and Beyond is privately held and entirely founder-owned, with no external investors or parent company. The company was founded in 2021 by Sonalika Pawar (CEO) and Shylesh Jain (COO), with Rashmil Dheer as Chief Strategy Officer, and is led by a team of roughly 60 professionals across account management, creative, and finance functions. Revenue is generated through quote-based professional services engagements; no pricing, revenue, or contract-value disclosures are publicly available, and the company has not raised institutional funding.
