Additionally, fuelled by demand across markets (JBC has previously worked on US, Japan, Singapore & UK-based mandates), the company today announced foraying into two new markets- Singapore & the United States by the end of 2023.

Upasna Dash, Founder & CEO, JBC, said, “As someone who has had the opportunity to work with some of the leading brands in the world across diverse markets, I was excited by the opportunity to build something for India from India. 5 years ago, I started the company, fully bootstrapped from a couch with no experience in running an organization but with the zeal of using the power of storytelling to truly move the needle by enabling brands, people & ideas to meet their goals. That zeal has led to Jajabor truly changing the way organizations view PR & brand communication as a tool. We have built enough case studies to show that PR isn’t about being an auxiliary ‘image-building tool’ but a valuable arsenal to move tangible business goals. While we have come miles, the potential of scaling this is incredible & we are thrilled to welcome Vineet onboard as we continue on our journey to changing the way brands use communication. Vineet has been an incredibly respected colleague & an even more respected advisor to the business, and we are thrilled to have him join Jajabor “
Speaking on the appointment, Vineet Recriwal, COO, JBC, said, “Upasna and the team at JBC have built a strategic consultancy that has earned the trust of businesses and leaders within the fintech, VC, public policy, and D2C industry, in a short span of four years. I am excited for the opportunity to lead JBC with her, and the phenomenal team that she has built with both seasoned and young talent. I am looking forward to further solidifying JBC’s growth trajectory, spreading our wings across Singapore and the US, while tapping into new business streams that complement the existing business verticals, with employee and client-centricity at the core.”
