What's in the name?
The name “7Boats” has been derived from folklore and mythology - the famous ‘sapta dinga’, a metaphor for endeavors to unknown, uncharted territory. The boat signifies the vehicle that takes one to the destination. For us the vehicle is our service for the clients to help them reach their goals. And we have 7 boats suggesting we are capable of giving different types of backup solution to sail our clients through any weather. The number 7 has connotations in the ancient texts as well and is also the number of colors in a rainbow, so that syncs well with our vision.
What we do?

We also give training to people in different professional fields of Information Technology which add values in their respective careers.
Why we do it?
There are lot of players in Digital Marketing who focus only on ranking. But this is an ever dynamic field – one digital marketing strategy which was relevant a few years or perhaps a few months back is seen completely outdated today with users' changing online behavior and the businesses are looking more and more to adopt the latest strategies. So here Seven Boats comes with ROI-based strategies. We focus more on client's revenue growth rather than on ranking. Rankings & traffic are great to show but the most intimidating task is building the trust, authority & conversion. We care about how much value we can add in terms of revenue & profit to our clients' portfolio.
How we evolve?
As we have mentioned earlier that Digital Marketing is a dynamic field; we know that Seven Boats is unique in the way it deals with clients and projects. We are high on strategy and precise in execution. We believe in the process of dissecting a case, analyzing the situation and then coming up with a workable solution. To ensure that we never compromise with our quality of delivery we regularly conduct workshops for our employees and encourage their thoughts in team meetings. We keep our interactions very informal, open and conducive for new learning. We try to cultivate knowledge sharing and multitasking ability in our team members, since we believe that is the best way to evolve in a competitive industry.
Social responsibility in social media
At Seven Boats we do not believe in providing the services clients pay for and then looking through those clients. We get involved in the process of our clients' company and we do not detach ourselves when we see that we can contribute to their business. We believe in contributing the best possible way, at times going out of the way, to add value to our clients' businesses. We have worked for a number of business projects for clients across the world and the clients are our assets. Our list of assets can never be over without the human minds that shape up Seven Boats. Our team is why - we are where we are! Few of our success stories can be visited here.
Need of the hour
We think building a better customer awareness program is very much needed at this stage, but it still remains a challenge.
We learned the hard way
Being a startup, it's not always easy to sustain the ups and downs of a business. One needs to focus on every detail from the scratch and touch the right chords to see the business growing. At the same time one can not compromise on the deliverables to meet the clients' demands. There are a lot of startups in this space, so one needs to stick to their USP's strongly while focusing on growing the business. Our uniqueness is in the way we deal with each and every clients and projects. We adopt a 360 degree branding approach for online products and services. And we do not just stop at providing a service that is asked for, but we get involved with our clients in the entire process of brand building, at times going beyond the regular scopes of work.
Did we just share that?
We never miss any opportunity to unwind ourselves at workplace, be it a birthday celebration or a team lunch. We believe right dose of fun adds additional energy to out perform each other in a healthy office environ.
