A GiftVerse corporate gifting program runs in six stages. Your team is involved in two of them. Everything after the store goes live — sourcing, branding, quality checks, shipping, tracking and support — sits with us, and the recipient never sees any of it.
Most vendors show a four-box diagram and leave the hard parts blank. This is the full sequence — who owns each stage, and how long it takes.
One conversation: occasion, headcount, per-person budget, geography and the date it must land. If you already run gifting, we start from last year's list and its problems.
Shares the brief and the recipient count. No file uploads needed yet.
Comes back with a shortlist and a realistic delivery date for the budget you named.
Configured before anything is visible: budget cap, categories, brand and quantity limits, eligibility, expiry, geography. Enforced by the store, not by someone checking a spreadsheet afterwards.
Approves the rules and shares the recipient list plus your logo and brand colours.
Builds the program, applies your branding and sets the store to open on your date.
Assembled for this program, not pulled off a shelf. Wishlists and past selections shape it, vendors are approached on consolidated volume, samples are checked. You approve the list before anyone sees it.
Reviews the shortlist and says yes, or swaps a few items out. This is the second and last hands-on stage.
Sources, negotiates on volume, checks build and packaging, and holds stock against your headcount.
One branded link on email, WhatsApp or the intranet. Recipients pick, confirm colour and size, and enter their own address. Everything visible is already in budget, so there is nothing to approve afterwards.
Sends the link once. Reminders to non-responders go out automatically.
Runs the store, handles recipient questions, and reports live selection numbers.
Selections are allocated across vendors, branded, quality-checked, packed and dispatched. Multi-address is the default — 1,200 recipients across 40 cities is the same job as 1,200 in one office.
Nothing. You get a dispatch summary when consignments leave.
Owns vendor allocation, kitting, branding, quality checks, consolidation and shipping.
Recipients track their own gift and contact us directly, keeping the HR inbox out of it. Damaged or undelivered items are replaced by us. At the end: one report, one invoice.
Reads the report. Uses it to plan the next program.
Handles tracking, escalations, replacements, reconciliation and reporting.
Delivery timing follows the selection window, branding scope and geography. Repeat programs on an existing store launch faster.
Festival gifting fails on timing, not on taste. This is the schedule that lands before the festival week.
Brief, budget and headcount agreed; the program is configured and branded.
Vendors are approached with your volume, samples are checked, and a shortlist comes to you.
You see the store exactly as a recipient will, on desktop and mobile, before it opens.
Live inside five working days. The link goes out, selections come in, reminders chase the rest.
Branding, packing and dispatch, then doorstep delivery with tracking and support.
A five-working-day store launch is workable. Gift cards deliver same-day when the window has genuinely closed. A rush costs you catalogue, branding and selection time — not the ability to open the store.
Most teams start with one festival campaign and move to an always-on store once they see how much of the year gifting covers.
One occasion, fixed audience, fixed window. The store opens, everyone picks, gifts go out, it closes.
Best when gifting is a once-or-twice-a-year event and you want to prove the model before committing.
Set up once, stays live. Each occasion is a program inside it, with its own audience, budget and catalogue.
Best when gifting is spread across the year and you are tired of rebuilding the same program every festival.
What eats an HR team's month is rarely the choosing. It's the chasing — addresses, sizes, vendors, invoices, non-responders.
Delivery is where gifting usually breaks — a wrong address, a damaged box, someone who never got theirs. Those come to us.
Live status on their own gift, so nobody asks HR where it is.
Delivery questions come to us, not to your inbox.
Damaged, wrong or undelivered items are replaced by us, within budget.
One report: selections by category, delivery status, exceptions and spend against budget.
Gifting touches employee data, so it answers the same questions your HR stack does.
Lists come from your HRMS or a simple upload; sign-in runs through your existing SSO.
Entered by recipients in the store. Your team never collects, stores or forwards a personal address.
Roles separate who builds a program from who approves the budget, with an audit trail.
One consolidated invoice per program, with the documentation finance expects.
Your logo, colours and program name. We run it in the background, not in front of your people.
Preferences, sizes and past selections carry into the next program, so each catalogue starts sharper.
The practical ones, answered plainly. Anything not covered is worth a fifteen-minute call.
Five working days: kickoff, curate, preview, go live. Delivery timing then follows the selection window, branding scope and geography. A repeat program on an existing store launches faster.
Reminders go out automatically while the store is open. For anyone still unselected at expiry, you set the fallback up front — a default gift, a gift card, or dropping them. Nothing ships without a rule you approved.
Physical gifts ship pan-India to individual doorsteps. Experience vouchers are the one thin category outside major cities, so we flag which options are genuinely redeemable everywhere.
Confirmed by the recipient in the store, not guessed from a spreadsheet. Nothing ships until the variant is confirmed.
In India, gifts above ₹5,000 in a financial year are generally treated as a taxable perquisite, and vouchers differently again. We flag where a tier crosses that line — confirm the treatment with your own tax advisor.
GiftVerse support, directly from the store. Damaged or undelivered items are replaced by us, keeping your HR inbox out of the delivery loop.
Tell us the occasion, headcount and per-person budget. We will map it to the six stages, give you a realistic go-live date, and show you exactly what your recipients would see.
