About Us

We are on a mission to make hyperlocal magical.

Pin a location on the map to find the coolest people in the neighborhood and where they hangout - from the hippest cafes to the yummiest dimsums, the trendiest fashion boutique, luxurious spas, health clubs, best discounts on grocery stores and more. Find the buzz in your locality through our user generated pictures, videos, reviews to discover interesting people, places and get cashback / rewards for visiting those places.

magicpin drives discovery that leads to business for local retailers across categories like restaurant, fashion, beauty, grocery, spa, yoga, gyms, and more. For their spending, users get rewarded in ‘magicpin points’ that can be used to buy more services and experiences at magicpin partner merchants.

The biggest advantage of magicpin's cashback programme is that it works at ALL stores in a city, and it doesn't matter whether you pay through cash, credit/debit card or e-wallet - you always get your magicpin points.

Our user community, known as 'magicians' are up and about in their city’s neighborhoods sharing their local experiences through picture stories that inspire other users to have those experiences.

For retailers and brands, magicpin is the go-to platform to reach out to relevant local customers, spotlight their uniqueness, reward loyal customers through magicpin points and vouchers, real-time promotions, augmented reality games, run micro influencer campaigns and more. magicpin builds engagement and visibility for its partner retailers and brands to help drive up their new and repeat business.

magicpin is by far the leader in offline marketing for retailers in India. We have grown 5x in 2018 and are on track to repeat that in the coming year. This is a massive $1T market in India - 50x the size of all ecommerce in the country.

magicpin has 5 Million+ users and is now live in Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Goa, Chennai, Ahmedabad and is quickly spreading to more cities and countries.
