Our one year old start-up venture ‘FulMarxx’ which played a significant role in bringing Gujarat and especially Ahmedabad to the world cine-map has been nominated for the coveted TATA NEN India’s Hottest Start-ups Awards. The first ever ‘Public Choice Awards’ to recognize India’s new wave of growth, the TATA NEN Hottest Startups is an online contest where people can nominate companies & vote for them on internet & through SMS.
The Awards are a unique collaboration between the Tata Group, India’s most respected business conglomerate and National Entrepreneurship Network (NEN), the largest representatives of new & future entrepreneurs in India. The Awards aim to showcase and recognize high potential young companies in India, with the goal to attract visibility for over 800 entrepreneurs & their ventures in India, and engage over 5,00,000 people.
FulMarxx is a unique, thought-of-but-never-ventured-into concept, the first ever Integrated Filmed Entertainment Company that explores a lot of disciplines like motion pictures, entertainment marketing, short films and film festivals with robust worldwide distribution capabilities. Just as how Larry Page and Sergey Brin became ‘Google-struck’ at Stanford, a bunch of young ones were ‘FulMarxx-struck’ at MICA. Defying the paranoia, shattering the myths and taking uncharted avenues, the team believed in itself and with total conviction and unbridled passion jumped into creating a phenomenon. The first ever and one of its kind, exclusive short film festival of India went international spanning over 18 countries. The financial growth has been healthy (0 to more than 7.9million in a year) and the people behind it only strive to better it. FulMarxx believes that the youth symbolizes the talent trove and hence has the entire team comprising of fresh designers to high flying lawyers recruited from institutes of repute. FulMarxx is not only creating dreams, but living them.
