The rule for every item

Include only what the person will still use in six months.

Three budget tiers

Planning figures from catalogue prices, including the ₹50-per-item logo fee. Bulk discounts apply per product (5% off at 100 pieces, 8% at 250, 12% at 500 and 15% at 1,000), so ordering a quarter's kits at once costs less than ordering every month.

TierPer kitWhat's inside
Essentials₹600–1,300Notebook, pen, bottle, welcome card
Standard₹1,500–3,000Essentials + t-shirt, mug, laptop sleeve or tote
Premium₹3,500–6,500Standard + backpack, hoodie, wireless charger

Sizes

  • Ask for t-shirt or hoodie size in the offer-acceptance form, not on day one.
  • Order S to XXL with about 10% extra in M and L, the sizes that run out first.
  • Choose unisex fits so one product covers everyone.
  • Keep a few spares of each size at head office for swaps.

Remote and multi-city joiners

Collect the home address and phone number with the offer and send kits in a monthly batch. Delivery to many addresses is quoted: send the address list with your enquiry. Keep a few kits at head office for early start dates.
