Shillong: In the heart of Shillong, from the hills of Meghalaya, a team of ambitious individuals is rewriting the narrative of the regional IT industry. From humble beginnings to lofty aspirations, Marketing Wire has emerged as rising name in the field of innovation and resilience in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
Founded in 2018 by Badal Nyalang, Marketing Wire started as a modest venture with a bold vision: to leverage technology to empower businesses and communities alike. What began as a small team of passionate individuals has since grown into a powerhouse of talent, creativity, and determination.
“At Marketing Wire, we believe in the power of dreams,” says Badal Nyalang, reflecting on the company’s journey. “From day one, we have witnessed the opportunity in the digital landscape in the Northeast and our goal has been to push the boundaries of what’s possible and make a meaningful impact in the region and go beyond.”
Despite its origins in a relatively small town, Marketing Wire has never shied away from dreaming big. With a focus on innovation and a commitment to excellence, the company quickly gained recognition for its cutting-edge solutions and customer-centric approach.
“Our growth was further pushed with interventions from the state government’s startup eco system. We were among the first cohort of the incubated startups under Meghalaya’s PRIME programme and with this our journey took up the growth curve as we see it today”. Badal continues. “We’ve always believed that raw talents and dedication knows no boundaries, and our journey is proof that with passion and perseverance, anything is possible.”
From its early days as a social media marketing agency to its expansion into web development, advanced web solutions and beyond, Marketing Wire has continually evolved to meet the needs of its clients and the demands of the digital age. With a diverse portfolio of services and a reputation for delivering results, the company has carved out a niche for itself in the competitive IT industry.
“Marketing Wire is a young company filled with young talents. With it being a young company, I saw myself growing in alongside in different ways as a person,” shares Antonia, a team Manager at Marketing Wire, reflecting on her journey with the company.
“Look at the stats: Our team have handled close to 3 crore data points and we recently even started with our support services and handled close to 6,000 calls and queries already for one off our project. These are all statistics that shows that even small-town startups can deliver great solutions.” – Mentions Badal
But Marketing Wire’s journey hasn’t been without its challenges. As a team from a small town, the company has had to overcome skepticism and prove its worth in a field dominated by industry giants. Yet, it is precisely this underdog spirit that has fueled Marketing Wire’s drive for success.
“We may not have the resources of a Silicon Valley powerhouse, but we have something far more valuable: grit and determination,” Badal remarks. “We’ve learned to embrace challenges as opportunities and turn adversity into advantage. Taking an example of our initial days, I remember how I went to the cybercafé and worked for 3-4 hours completing my online meetings and then would return back to work on offline task, as I didn’t have a dedicated broadband connection back then”
“Our journey is far from over,” Badal declares, a confident smile spreading across his face. “We are a strong team of 30 now in just a span of 4 years. I’m looking at bringing in more raw talents and build a team ground up. As long as there are dreams to chase and challenges to conquer, Marketing Wire will be at the forefront of the IT industry, dreaming big and daring to make those dreams a reality.”
Marketing Wire is a testament to the power of dreams, the resilience of the human spirit, and the limitless potential of those who dare to dream big.
And in a world where anything is possible, there’s no telling what the future holds for this small-town team with big dreams. But one thing’s for certain: they’re just getting started.
