All our students are imparted with the desired skill sets that are in sync with the corporate environment and given practical training on various corporate domains that exist in an organization.The faculty at Sunstone realized that there was a huge disconnect between the present education system and the dynamic demands of the employment industry. Students these days have immense subject matter knowledge which is imbibed in them throughout their foundation years which begins right from their schooling and continues until they complete their post-graduation and so on!Broadcasting information on various subject matters does not really comply with the current industry requirements and hence the students really struggle when it comes to acing certain tasks at work. They lack the basic skill set that is considered to be a pre-requisite by most of the corporates and are not considered industry ready professionals.We envision in bringing about a paradigm shift in the present higher education system by equipping the students with various skill sets so that they are easily absorbed by the recruitment companies. Till date, Sunstone Eduversity has a 100% placement record with over 200 different recruitment companies impaneled with us. We take full responsibility of your career as we believe that all education institutes should provide its students with the confidence to be placed right after acquiring the desired skill sets and hence are delighted to procreate this framework!

We have a large collection of readymade marketing content.The user can select the industry, specify the goals along with their business information, and then get the variations of ad templates that are ready to deploy within minutes.Digital marketing is a necessity and only hope for growth of every business, yet a small business faces a huge struggle to crack it. 49% handle marketing for their business on their own as agencies are unaffordable, existing Tools are tedious, freelancer efforts have lower quality & impact and building a team is lengthy & time consuming.How are we different? - Existing Tools like Canva, Invideo, Rocketium etc. DIY softwares and designer/marketer focussed with some learning required. We are transforming the experience to launching the campaigns like an ecommerce marketplace. The creators will submit creatives, our team will approve and brands will consume on demand - Freelancer efforts have lower quality & impact. We provide professional impact at rates of freelancers - Agencies are people intensive and not scalable. Intellemo is tech intensive - Building a team is lengthy & time consuming. Our marketing support reduces the need to build a team.Why we started? Having spent years scaling enterprises through marketing, we realised that 99% of small startups and businesses were underserved. They needed marketing solutions, that were easy to understand, quick to deploy and perform at par with bigger companies with resources. This is the best time, as Indian startup ecosystem is growing exponentially and traditional businesses are adopting digital. But, current solutions are not capable to meet this upcoming demand at scale. It can only be satisfied if readymade campaigns are crafted beforehand, sold as a product in an online e-commerce marketplace and delivered instantly on demandThe company was founded in 2018 with HQ in Gurgaon (Delhi NCR, India) as Intellemo Adtech Pvt Ltd. Later in 2020, it got registered in the United States as Intellemo Inc, which will be a subsidiary of parent HQ in Gurgaon, India.
