Giift, backed by Apis Growth Fund II, acquires a majority ownership in Xoxoday, a fintech disruptor in the rewards, incentives, and payout space
SINGAPORE, Mar. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Giift, a leading provider of loyalty management solutions around the globe, 
announced today that it has acquired a majority interest in Xoxoday, an 
India-based fintech disruptor in the rewards, incentives, and payout space. 
Giift's investment will enable Xoxoday to fuel the next stage of growth in 
international markets and upgrade its technology infrastructure. Giift and 
Xoxoday's strategy is to advance its technology leadership, increase market 
penetration, and create the undisputed global standard for loyalty platform 
technology.

Xoxoday provides an advanced and scalable infrastructure platform that enables 
businesses of all sizes and industries to automate rewards, incentives, and 
payouts for employees, partners, and consumers. With a first-principles 
approach, the company reimagined how rewards, incentives, and payouts should 
work. Today, Xoxoday enables rewards and incentives to be embedded and 
integrated in the flow of work across the value chain. Since different business 
contexts demand tailored solutions, Xoxoday has three SaaS offerings for the 
market.

- Plum, a horizontal platform infrastructure that automates rewards, incentives,
  perks, and payouts programs. 
- Empuls, a vertical platform that enables organizations to create an engaged 
  workplace, where everyone is aligned, empowered, and connected through a 
  continuous process of feedback and improvement. 
- Compass, a platform automating and gamifying sales incentives and commissions
  for sales teams.

Giift and Xoxoday's combined technology platforms will cover the entire loyalty 
value chain. It will enable both companies to enlarge their service offerings 
and collectively accelerate growth globally. The Giift and Xoxoday SaaS 
platforms will cover the broadest available loyalty product suite, serving 
corporate programs with end-to-end loyalty technology, employee rewards and 
recognition programs, sales and channel incentives, merchant loyalty programs, 
and consumer incentive programs powered with a global marketplace.

Giift and Xoxoday jointly address all market segments and industries. From the 
largest global corporations to mid-sized domestic entities and local merchants, 
the combined platform helps attract and retain customers and incentivize 
employees and partners. Furthermore, the platform is industry and geography 
agnostic, with clients representing a broad array of industries including 
financial services, utilities, hospitality, consumer products, real estate, and 
pharmaceuticals, across the Americas, APAC, MENA, and Europe.

Co-Founder and CEO of Giift Laurent Xatart commented, "Xoxoday is a unique and 
powerful loyalty platform for employee, sales, and consumer rewards. Our 
partnership with Xoxoday will enable Giift to offer the most comprehensive 
engagement and loyalty solution available on the market and represents a big 
step forward in our mission to create the global standard for the loyalty 
industry."

Sumit Khandelwal, Co-founder & CEO Xoxoday, added, "We firmly believe that 
growth compounds with the right people and right partners. With Giift and Apis 
Growth Fund II on board, I can only see growth upwards and onwards from here. 
Giift's loyalty infrastructure and Xoxoday's rewards infrastructure, together, 
cover the length and breadth of business use cases across the entire lifecycle 
for employees, channel partners, and consumers."
