Gifting as a programme, not a last-minute purchase order

Event and corporate gifting

Corporate gifting in Chennai is usually a procurement task handed to whoever has time in the last fortnight. The result is a recognisable generic hamper that says the sender met an obligation. The cost of doing it well is mostly lead time, not money.

In short

Inai Event Management runs curated event and corporate gifting programmes across Tamil Nadu — wedding welcome hampers and guest-room gifting for outstation families, delegate and speaker gifts, dealer and channel gifting, employee milestone gifts, and festival hampers for Diwali and Pongal.

We handle the full chain: curation to a brief and a budget, sampling, branding and personalisation, packing, GST-compliant invoicing, and multi-address dispatch with tracking — so a 400-recipient client gifting programme arrives on a date you chose rather than whenever the courier gets to it.

Scope

What a booking includes

Everything below is in scope by default. You remove what you do not need and the quote moves — rather than discovering an exclusion after the contract.

The gap

Why this usually goes wrong

What usually happens

A vendor is picked on price two weeks out, personalisation is dropped because there is no lead time, and 400 identical hampers go out with no delivery report. Nobody can tell you which twelve recipients never received theirs.

What Inai does

Gifting is planned on a calendar with sampling and approval gates. Branding is specified while lead time still exists. Dispatch is tracked per address and closed out with a delivery report, and invoicing is GST-compliant for procurement sign-off.

Answers

Event & Corporate Gifting — your questions

Do you handle corporate gifting as well as wedding gifting?

Yes. Inai runs both — wedding welcome hampers and guest-room gifting, and corporate programmes covering delegates, dealers, clients and employees. Rathish Kumar's background running Invitty Cognitive Solutions means corporate procurement requirements, GST documentation and multi-address dispatch are familiar ground rather than a learning curve.

Can you deliver gifts to multiple addresses across India?

Yes. Multi-address dispatch with per-recipient tracking and a closing delivery report, so you know exactly which recipients received their gift and when.

How much lead time does corporate gifting need?

For branded or personalised items, four to six weeks. For curated stocked hampers, two to three weeks. Diwali and Pongal windows compress supplier capacity sharply, so festival programmes should start eight weeks out.

Do you provide GST invoices for corporate gifting?

Yes. GST-compliant invoicing and the documentation corporate procurement teams need for sign-off.

Can gifts carry our company branding?

Yes — logo, monogram, printed cards, custom boxes and sleeves. We sample the branding physically before bulk production, because logo reproduction on textured or metal surfaces rarely looks like the mock-up.

Do you offer Tamil Nadu artisan or heritage-craft gifting?

Yes. Temple craft, brass and kansa, Kanchipuram silk accents, Thanjavur art plates, Athangudi and terracotta pieces — a strong option for outstation delegates and NRI wedding guests, who value the provenance.

What is guest-room gifting at a wedding?

A welcome hamper placed in outstation guests' hotel rooms before they arrive — typically water, local snacks, an itinerary card and a small keepsake. For Tamil weddings with large travelling families it is the first impression the family makes, and it is usually the cheapest impression to get right.

Can you work to a fixed per-unit budget?

Yes. Tell us the per-unit budget and the recipient profile, and we curate to it and show you samples before you commit.

We come back with questions before we come back with a number. That is usually the point at which families realise the quote is going to match the wedding.
