Concept Communication Ltd has made a strategic investment in Lastmile Solutions India Pvt Ltd acquiring a majority stake through a combination of fresh issue of equity and infusion of debt.
Founded in 2013 by Atul Maheshwari and Pankaj Goswami, Lastmile Solutions which is in the business of retail visual identity solutions, branding, design and merchandising display, activation and promotion, events and OOH, plans to scale up its revenues 10 fold from the current Rs 100 million to over Rs 1 billion over the next 5-6 years.

Atul Maheshwari, Founder & CEO of Lastmile Solutions says: “We are thrilled to be part of the Concept Communications group, which will enable us to exponentially scale our business. Being part of the retail and BTL divisions of several leading agencies in my professional career, I went about establishing LMS to meet the needs of brands to provide a single window service for events, consumer and trade activation, signage, branding, retail store roll outs and retail launches”.

Some of Lastmile’s clients include Volvo, Shell, Total, Nerolac, Motorola, PayTM, CP Plus, American Express, Kotak Life, Ceat and others. It also has a strategic partnership with Visotec, a France- based global leader in brand-implementation services.
