Percept Limited is India's largest Entertainment, Media & Communications conglomerate, founded 1984 by Harindra Singh and Shailendra Singh. After Shailendra exited as passive shareholder in 2017, Harindra consolidated control as CMD and has been running a leaner, more focused operation.
Percept operates through multiple specialised divisions — Percept EMC, Percept ICE, Percept Live, Percept Profile, Percept Weddings, Percept MICE, Mash Advertising, Percept Pictures, and Percept D'Mark. The conglomerate owns some of India's most iconic entertainment IPs: Sunburn (Asia's biggest EDM festival), Bollyboom (Bollywood dance music festival), Eat Play Love, Windsong, FLY, Fight Night, Champions of the World.
🎯 Major architecture finding: Percept runs IceWarp Cloud (NOT Google Workspace or Microsoft 365) — Indian-hosted email/collaboration platform. Both perceptindia.in and pdmindia.com share the same IceWarp cluster (mx*-cluster18.immenzaces.com). Unusual for an Indian enterprise of this size.

10 Why Percept is a PRIORITY Lead for Pixel Hues
Scale: Percept is the ONLY Indian event agency with the muscle to absorb a single Pixel Hues partnership across multiple events (Sunburn 50,000+ daily attendees; Bollyboom 20,000; corporate events for Havells, Vodafone, DBS, Volkswagen, Reliance). One partnership = 8–12 events / year.
Government work (Lane B bridge): Percept ICE has handled events for Goa Government — established govt liaison pipeline.
Award-winning prestige: Percept has won multiple WOW Awards — same awards Pixel Hues needs to submit to.
Content + IPs: Sunburn, Bollyboom, Eat Play Love, Windsong, FLY, Fight Night, Champions of the World — 7 owned IPs.
Recent Joji George hire (Mar 2023): Joji came from Communicare — knows event-tech and AI.
"Harindra-bhai, we're The Pixel Hues — Delhi-based anamorphic + projection mapping studio. We did BMW India anamorphics for the X1 launch and HCL pixel-mapping for their annual summit. Three angles for Percept:
1. Sunburn / Bollyboom: signature anamorphic activations on mainstage / entry gates — TikTok / Reels shareable.
2. Percept ICE corporate clients: volume play — we'd bundle our services for Havells, Reliance, Volkswagen at 10–20% partner-programme discount.
3. Government museums (Tagbin's lane): Percept has Goa Govt relationships — we can co-pitch to build a permanent interactive museum at Calangute or a new state project.
Founder-to-founder lunch — am in Mumbai every other week. Ajay."
2. Ajay Pillai → Joji George (CEO Percept Live) — LinkedIn DM
Reference: Joji's Communicare background + Sunburn's need for differentiation. Pitch: Anamorphic + projection mapping for Sunburn 2026 / Bollyboom 2026.
