The BFSI entity wished to award the aforementioned trophy to their star performers, who they were sending a cruise for doing their jobs extraordinarily well.
The trophy had to be in keeping with the nautical theme and look standout. They were looking for someone dependable, proven, and skilled to execute their vision. Naturally, they reached out to us.
How did we respond?
As always, with elegance, class, and alacrity.
The trophy we crafted for them was in the shape of an anchor - because great companies are driven by and anchored to their star performers.
The material we chose was matte acrylic. The versions were Gold and Silver - for the two categories of recipients. We invite you to take a look at our handiwork.
Ahoy, sea-farers!
If you like what you see, we have a proposition for you. While we did this for 7ty7, these seaworthy beauties can easily be customised for shipping, cruise, and other ocean-based businesses like yours as well. Really well.

]]>Speaking of choosing wisely, Avendus Capital is one of our most regular clients. They trust us implicitly to handle their merchandising needs. And they got in touch with us yet again for one such task.
What did Avendus task us with?
Put simply, they asked us to design a memento for an internal event. The event was organised to celebrate the Stars of Avendus Capital. They wanted to hand out ‘Stars’ of a unique kind to their top performers. Of course, just plain old ‘stars’ wouldn’t do. The keepsake had to be something standout, elegant, and classy.
How did we respond?
We created a memento in stainless steel and wood. The final product could either be pinned or a board or placed on the desk. Happily, Avendus was really pleased with the final result.

]]>We were contacted by The Brand Brewery to handcraft a suitable and eye-catching trophy for this momentous jamboree. It goes without saying that the challenge we were tasked with was to ensure that the keepsakes handed out at the event looked extremely classy, eye-catching, and worth displaying with pride for many years to come.
Coming to the trophy in particular, The Brand Brewery had a design in mind, but they were unsure about how to get it done well and in time. This is why they contacted us. We are, after all, the acknowledged experts in this space with nearly a decade of experience crafting such memories for a wide range of big and not-so-big clients.

]]>What Avendus wanted
Avendus Capital Pvt. Limited is a leading financial services provider. They wanted to give their stakeholders an unique keepsake in form and shape of an engaging board game. They invited us for a meeting to talk about this.
At Avendus, we discovered that games are a big part of Avendus’ culture. For instance, all their conference rooms are also named after a classic board game. The Avendus team had roped in one of the world’s foremost game designer based out of New York city to build a strategy game inspired by the 7 Wonders game - but customised to the world of financial services. The Avendus version of the game is called Pioneers. It is an addictive 3-8 player game of strategy and decision-making in which the objective of play is to help the organization achieve certain targets over multiple stages. Another facet of the game is that it takes less than 30 min to finish.
How did we respond?
Tasked with the role of handcrafting an eye-catching and beautiful board game comprising 8 boards, nearly 150 tokens, 3 sets of 56 cards, a rule book, an outer box, a packaging box, and on-time delivery, we imported several games to understand the build quality, materials, print and fabrication processes that would work best for such a assignment. After studying various aspects of the project, we arrived at a striking solution and delivered 2000 sets of games and unforgettably interesting merchandise for Avendus.
You are cordially invited to take a look at our handiwork in the images attached to this post.

Celebrating Capital First Dealers
Capital First is a premier financial Institution in India. They provide debt financing to small entrepreneurs, Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME), and other consumers of their products. We did some stellar work for them recently. We’d like to share with you. Welcome.
The Brief

]]>As part of this activity, there was an event to honour a select group of entrepreneurs instrumental in fuelling the tech revolution in India. It is for these pioneers that the Pride of India awards exist. The awards recognize the achievements and breakthroughs that redefine age-old industries and bring about paradigm shifts in the sector.
We were tasked with creating awards and mementos for the entire celebration.
The Design Challenge
‘Chiratae’ means leopard in Kannada. But to IDG, Chiratae is more than just that. They recognize that India is changing rapidly and at scale and they aim to be the catalysts to support this entrepreneurship growth and change. Chiratae signifies this spirit of the team and its passion. Because of this, ‘Chiratae' had to be an important part of the design ethos for the trophies and mementos.
How did we respond?
We chose to use the cutting edge technology of 3D printing to create the awards and mementos in leopard-print. Each trophy and memento was then handcrafted and customized in elegant wood and classy acrylic.
]]>Recently, we were presented with the opportunity to work with Premas Life Sciences (PLS). Today, we’d like to share with you, briefly, the story of what we did for them. Perhaps you’ll find something in it that is of relevance to your brand. Welcome.
Who is PLS and what did we do for them?
Premas Life Sciences (PLS) is a forward-thinking and innovative Life Science Distribution Company. They are based out of Delhi. They were organising an award ceremony to celebrate their best performers. For this, they needed eye-catching trophies and keepsakes in wood. Since we’re the experts at creating awards and more PLS got in touch with us.
How did we respond?
Brief in hand, we put our heads together and came up with a concept and design in wood and imagination that was distinctive and creative. Furthermore, we embellished the wood with gleaming metal to make it look sleek and premium. Finally, we carved the PLS logo (in the shape of the structure of DNA) and printed the necessary information on the trophy. All said and done, the trophy looked very distinguished and personalised, which is exactly what PLS desired. You are invited to take a closer look at our handiwork.

]]>iimjobs.com is one of Engrave's most valued clients. For years, now, they have entrusted us with their gifting requirements.
One of the things they have tasked us with is to regularly send, every 6 months, the 'Top Recruiter Award,’ which happens to be one of the most important activities in the iimjobs gifting calendar.
The Top Recruiter Award is given to the top 0.5% of the hundreds of thousands of recruiters that use iimobs for their hiring needs.
This is a most select and prestigious award. It has to look a class apart. The design, material, and aura must be nothing less than top-notch.
How did we respond?
We used wood and metal to craft these awards. This is because wood and metal is a classic material combination that, when done well, is incomparably elegant to behold. You are cordially invited to take a closer look at the results of our handiwork in the images attached to this post.

If you'd like to order this award with your branding and message, do get in touch. Our lines (and minds) are always open.
]]>The Kabaddi Masters Cup
The Kabaddi Masters Cup is a multi-nation event. This year, it was held in Dubai. We were bestowed the privilege of designing and crafting the trophy and medals for it.
This is the first time that Engrave has been called upon to put its design and manufacturing skills in the service of an event of this stature. How chuffed we were by this is hard to fully describe.
How did we respond?
For creative inspiration, we turned to the heart of Kabaddi. And it paid off handsomely.
The medals and the trophy were imbued with cues from a signature move in Kabaddi known as ‘The Raid’. So the six layers of the metal arcs symbolize the number of teams participating in the tournament, while the rod in the center with the logo represents the raider.
In addition, the intricate geometric design at the base defines how this ancient Indian sport is raiding and capturing the imagination in other countries around the world. We invite you to take a look at the aforementioned creations to better understand how we married the Kabaddi story to the merchandise.
]]>Bending steel to do our bidding
In our continuous explorations with steel, we recently arrived at a fresh idea that is beautiful, designer, and durable. It is a design idea that falls under the category known as bent steel. It delves into a customised typographic approach to metal design. And it has enabled us to come up with trophies, awards, and keepsakes that are unique, contemporary, and distinctive.
Why Bent Steel?
Well, always, our clients demand showcase-worthy creations that are striking, simple, and worth displaying with pride – after all, awards are meant to be kept in places they can be admired and looked at for inspiration. Obviously, this means the article should be stunning to behold. The bent steel philosophy of award design uses a minimalist method to more than satisfy these stringent aesthetic criteria.
Look what we have come up with
Over the course of the past few months, we have done a lot of work in bent steel. In the process, we have worked hard to apply the aforementioned design philosophy to craft some wonderful trophies, awards, and keepsakes in bent steel for prestigious clients like Sterlite Tech and Mirae Asset, to mention just two. We invite you to take a close look at our handiwork in the images attached to this message. Perhaps you would like us to do something similar for you as well.
]]>At times, we offer you creative solutions for your merchandising needs by conceptualising and creating pieces of memorabilia based on your brief. At other times, we listen to your creative and design ideas and offer our services as experts at executing and bringing to live what you have in mind.
Today, we would like to share with you a short story about what we did for Intellecap recently.
Intellecap called on us to fabricate a memento to commemorate the ‘closing of a deal’. They had thought of a design for this. And they wanted us to elevate it with our workmanship.
How did we respond?
For this very focused brief, we brought our material and fabrication expertise to the fore and created a elegant wooden base with a fixed acrylic attachment at the top. This, in our opinion, was a graceful way to do justice to the client’s idea and the occasion it was commemorating. Intellecap concurred.
You are invited to take a closer look at our handiwork in the image attached to this post.
]]>The Task
The BST Annual Awards is an important event in the BCG calendar. We create unique trophies every year for this event. This year, too, BCG turned to us.
Awards at this event are handed out in multiple categories. It is our endeavor to reflect each category in the trophy that’s handed out to the recipients.
How did we respond?
For each category, we created an artwork that was used in a trophy made out of two precisely-cut wooden plaques and an acrylic board sandwiched between them. The wooden plaques were partially engraved – to communicate the category – and partially printed to showcase the colours of the BCG logo and the recipient’s name.
You are cordially invited to take a closer look at our handiwork and tell us what you think of it.

]]>Every year, iimjobs asks Engrave to create thousands of calendars for them and for their clients. This year, was no different. This year, too, our calendars for iimjobs were eye-catching and eminently desk-worthy. Allow us to elaborate.
We chose to go with a postcard-sized calendar. For starters, we created a classy wooden base. This held twelve elegant leaves (one for each month), made of fine paper. Each leaf was designed to showcase an inspiring quote about recruitment and careers. All of which, made it most relevant and attractive to the receiver.
In addition, in keeping with the festive spirit, we fashioned a neat red gift box, on which was a message in beautiful calligraphy, and into each box went a calendar. The complete package was then couriered by us to all of IIMjobs' clients. Put simply, iimjobs depended on us to take care of everything. And so can you. You can take a closer look at our handiwork in the images attached to this post.
