Extraordinary work
When we started Purplemango, back in 2009 we had no idea what we were getting into. The strategies, the ideas, the learning, the experience: we built that over time with incredible clients who trusted us.
Reuben Thomas
Fire-starter. Work Hacker. Party elevator.
Reuben can sense the pulse of a business from the first client conversation.
He builds game plans for every project and breaks it into delectable, design tasks.
Excel sheets, client meets, strategy discussions, biryani concussions, financial wizard, lie-detector lizard: Reuben is Purplemango’s go-to man to get things done. Our complex, calorie calculator who is admired, feared, loved and revered in equal measure.
Reshma Thomas
Collector of thoughts. Connector of dots.
Reshma feels the soul of the brand, experiences its emotions and builds conversations around it.
She spends her days staring into space, spilling stories in blue ink on ruled sheets of paper.
Dreamer collector, Concept cracker, Straight-shooter, Love-rooter, Tree-hugger, money-shrugger : Reshma is everyone’s ‘chechy’ at Purplemango. Her doors, windows, mind and heart are always open: you can enter without knocking.
We work with a dynamic team of passionate creators. Some joined us this year and some have been around for seven years. Everyone who’s been with us, has added to Purplemango in an incredible way. We are grateful for the team we have and for everyone who’s been a part of this journey with us. Go Mango!
