Shrinking living spaces, dynamic work patterns have resulted in people adopting a transient way of life, necessitating the need for storage solutions. Certain problems which plague consumers but do not consciously warrant attention unless a solution is bought forward for them, (for eg Ola/Uber) and BmS is one of them. Once consumers realise storage is no longer a hassle and expensive, BmS will become their preferred choice. We are working closely with BmS to introduce this solution to not only Indian consumer, but given the scalable nature of the business will be looking to expand in other part of Asia very soon. ”</p>
