Asia HQ
A global agency that happens to be based in Mumbai.
Pinstorm was founded in Mumbai in 2004 — the first agency in India built on the radical idea that marketing should be paid on outcomes, not hours billed. Twenty-one years on, the Mumbai office runs engagements for clients across twenty-six countries on six continents, and campaigns that have reached audiences in over a hundred and twenty. It just happens to do all of that from Bandra.

Global by default
We're a global agency that happens to be based out of three cities. Not three regional shops that occasionally talk to each other.
For twenty-one years our clients have come from the United States, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Gibraltar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Morocco, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, India, Nepal, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and even Tonga. We've marketed their products and services to over 120 countries across six continents. We're still eagerly awaiting a brief from Antarctica.
Frequently asked, locally
Where is Pinstorm based in India?
Pinstorm's India office is at 37 Perry Cross Road, Bandra West, Mumbai 400050. It's our founding office and our largest team.
Does Pinstorm work with Indian D2C brands?
Yes. Most of our outcome-based engagements over the past decade have been with Indian consumer brands across fintech, beauty and e-commerce — including Paytm, Naturals, FNP, and Sharekhan.
Is Pinstorm available for projects outside Mumbai?
Yes. The Mumbai team services clients across India and most of South-East Asia. Our model doesn't require a local office — only a measurable revenue target.
How much does a marketing agency in Mumbai cost?
Most Mumbai agencies quote a monthly retainer, and the number depends on scope, seniority and how hard you negotiate. Pinstorm doesn't quote one. We're paid from the outcomes the work produces — a share of revenue, equity, or milestone payments agreed before anything starts. If the work doesn't produce results, you don't pay for it.
How do I choose a marketing agency in India?
Ask one question before any credentials deck: how does the agency get paid? An agency on a fixed retainer earns the same whether you grow or not. An agency paid from your results has to believe in the engagement before it signs. Then check whether it reports revenue or activity — impressions are not a business outcome.
What kinds of engagements does the Mumbai office take on?
Businesses with revenue that can be attributed to marketing: D2C, e-commerce, fintech, B2B SaaS. What we need is a measurable target and access to the numbers. What we don't take on is work with no definition of success — the model can't price it.
