Center Stage

An event company in Bengaluru, India, that plans and runs corporate events from the first brief to the post-event report, covering production, employee programmes, launches and public relations.

Turnkey events from framework to aftercare

The firm describes a turnkey approach. It begins with requirement analysis and a concise plan, agrees the framework with the client, and then carries the event through the day with on-floor operations and real-time management. The company says its involvement ends only after post-event support. It treats budget as a parameter to work within rather than a barrier, and says it offers an optimized solution for each client.

Production on the day

The company says it has an in-house event architect, a creative team, and management and production teams, so the event is organized as one whole. Clients can choose from standard packages or a customized consultation, and the firm says it extends its capacity to meet deadlines.

Employee events, family days and annual days

For employers, the firm arranges the corporate calendar for the year and personalizes HR activities, such as employee appreciation, birthdays, milestone celebrations and soft-skill sessions, to suit the company's values and standards. Its family days aim to show the company's work to employees' families through recreation and a welcoming atmosphere. Annual days are presented as a yearly celebration for the whole organization, with a new theme each year. The firm also runs theme parties, from superhero and retro themes to a spy theme, with a range of settings and props.

Conferences and networking

The firm organizes conferences and seminars chosen to suit a company's needs, including department-level symposiums that build the skills of key staff.
