Silos in any business process can hold your team back whether it is a breakdown in communication between branding, marketing and sales or simply various functions that just do not work well together. Too often these elements are treated as something separate from each other. As a result, businesses lose out on opportunities to amplify their branding, marketing and sales efforts and support initiatives across the full marketing and sales organization. Breaking down these silos can help maximize a brand's results and prevent the business from missing critical opportunities along the way. Branding, Sales and Marketing teams have traditionally operated in silos, but now more than ever, this is not a viable strategy.

It is no longer possible for these three functions to remain distinct and achieve peak performance. A corporate veteran carrying close to 30 years of experience in the industry, Sivaram Kuppachi, observed the troubles associated with disparate marketing strategies and set out on an endeavour to change it for the better. Sivaram laid the foundation of Zamstars to break these silos and make these growth functions work cohesively to achieve business outcomes and growth. The idea was to identify the qualitative and quantitative measures that run across the branding, marketing and sales of an organization, and evaluate a solution to holistically benefit the business.
