destiny,
anyone?
Once upon a time, there were three wide-eyed freshers who crossed paths at MICA. Fate intervened, friendships bloomed, and as college life faded into memory, we found ourselves diving headfirst into the world of advertising at some of India’s top agencies. Little did we know, a simple road trip mishap—cue the flat tire—and a long chat would spark the idea that changed everything.
Enter ting. On that scorching summer day, as we sat stranded by the side of the road, the seeds of ting were sown. With two offices—one in Chennai and the other in Mumbai—our naivety, friendship, and faith forged at MICA, ting was born.
With nothing but a second-hand PC, no money, no clients, no portfolio, except that something seemed right. Over a decade later, that cramped 200 sq. ft. room blossomed into multi-city offices, international ventures, and a family of 500+ amazing tingsters.
But amidst the whirlwind of growth, what truly fills our hearts with pride are the memories we’ve made and the relationships we’ve forged along the way.
Our feet? Still firmly planted on the ground. Our hearts? Still beating in the right place. And that first-day energy? It’s alive and kicking, now pulsating through hundreds of tingsters, all dancing to the same ‘ting’ rhythm.

the inside story
Welcome to ting’s inner workings. Here’s the lowdown on our guiding principles, a low down on how we roll:
Servant Leadership
It’s all about teamwork. No fancy titles—just lifting each other up and making sure every voice is heard.
Infinite Game
We’re not into quick wins; we’re playing the long game. Every move we make is about building something lasting, not chasing fleeting victories.
ZOOM IN ZOOM OUT
We zoom in on details but never lose sight of the big picture. Then we zoom out, appreciating both the forest and the trees.
One ting
One ting.
All in. It’s not about me or you - it’s about us
this is ting
You’re not just a visitor, you’re one of us now :)
Integrity
Integrity guides our actions, empathy fuels our connections, ownership drives our accountability, and learning and growth are the fuel for our evolution.
Empathy
Honesty doesn’t come at the cost of kindness. Here, they walk hand in hand. We listen, we understand, and only then do we act.
Learning and Growth
The happy side effects of a curious mind - learning and growing. Open to the new, even to the outrageous. Imagine if Newton didn’t see the wonder in a falling apple.
Ownership
We step up, we step in, and we work it like we own it. We take responsibility of our success and our slips.
..we won..
Awards and Accolades!!!
Lots of them!
We aren’t feeling smug for
no reason.
