About BunnyBash
BunnyBash is an event management startup founded in the year 2018. It deals in experimental gifting, surprise planning, event production, and rental services. It provides everything from decoration materials to artists, venue booking and equipment rentals required for an event.
Event and Activations Industry in India
Event and Activations industry in India will cross Rs.10,000 crore mark in the year 2020-21. The more interesting part of this data is that it does not include the multitude of ‘unorganized event companies and freelancers’ spread across the country. BunnyBash aims to tap this unorganized segment of the event management industry with the help of technology and creativity within.
BunnyBash Founder/CEO
Anurag Singh is the founder and CEO of BunnyBash.
Anurag has his roots in Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh (UP). Born and brought up at Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, Anurag landed at Bangalore in the year 2007 to complete his graduation in business management. He registered his first private limited firm Green Flag Branding Solutions in the year 2010, and started helping local and hyper-local businesses and institutions in localized marketing and customer acquisition.
Within 4 years he worked with more than 100+ local and international brands directly or indirectly. In 2015, he started consulting educational institutions, restaurants and bootstrap startups for branding and marketing strategies.
Anurag is a born seller. He had the entrepreneurial instinct since childhood. Interestingly, as a child, Anurag always used to find new busness ideas to make money.
I remember how I started renting out comic books, some of them were mine and some of them were borrowed from my friends! I used to photoshop pictures, create free websites and email ID, upload songs and videos in phones, screen printed t-shirts and greeting cards to make money.
BunnyBash boasts of a beautiful working space in the heart of the city-Bangalore. The work environment is created to keep the employees happy and motivated.
We had options for the heart of the city however to utilize our money wisely we have taken a place on lease for 25 years. We have built our office to feel in a very unconventional way, mostly it resembles a resort rather than an office, we have a lawn to sit and relax, we also do camping in the lawn. We even rent lawn for parties and other small events. If you want to hire our lawn in the heart of the city, It would cost anyone lakhs. We have saved in a tremendous way. We promote happiness not just through our services but internally in the team as well.
How was BunnyBash Started
The idea to start BunnyBash was born from the belief that the host should also enjoy each moment of happiness and togetherness, rather getting into the hassle of event rentals, return gifts, catering arrangements, decorations, etc. BunnyBash was formed with the aim of making hosting a pleasurable experience rather than a tiring one.
“The story behind the startup is the word STORY itself! Every celebration has a story, a story of the birth, a story of coming together, a story of feelings, etc; if it is perfectly crafted, that’s the MOMENT! I wanted to craft every story to moments” –says Anurag
BunnyBash is more about making a wish rather than an inspiration. A wish to change the unorganized event industry, wish to establish both online and offline store to connect with the clients, listen to them, take a chance to shape their dream memories. Overall, a wish to establish a milestone remembered for complete event products and rental solutions.
Host should just feel the moments and enjoy it and let us direct and produce a film that will be worth remembering and watching for the rest of our life.
BunnyBash - Name and Logo
The name BunnyBash is derived by combining the words Bunny and Bash.

BunnyBash - Startup Challenges
Getting customers to understand the difference of charges between different packages and products is a challenging task for the BunnyBash team. As Anurag says, many people are not aware of the variety of products available and required for creating an event.
People usually know about different types of phone brands and the specifications however if you ask just randomly how many different types of balloons are there and what makes them different or what are the prices, not many can answer. We have to make them understand why there is a difference between charges and what the difference is.
Getting good human resources is another big hurdle. It is very difficult to find experienced decorators & florists and the vetting procedure takes the longest time.
BunnyBash - Competitors
Anurag believes that the current competitors are the unorganized players and freelancers from the industry. While he feels that the players from the organized sector make the industry more professionally managed, which is beneficial for both the businesses and customers.
I never feel and believe that organized players and budding startups can be a competitor to each other, in fact being organized they strengthen the industry, establish transparency in financial prospects, open room for trained, experienced and professional manpower. We cannot overcome the present scenario with a magic wand, it all depends on the best customer experience we provide, which will lead to a comparative atmosphere and becoming the preferred choice.
BunnyBash - Future Plans
BunnyBash initially started operating in Bangalore. Currently, it has started its store in Mumbai. The company has plans to expand to Pune and Hyderabad by the end of July 2019. BunnyBash also estimates to open 25 offline stores in the next 3 years with an industry-leading online presence.
BunnyBash has no plans of acquire any business as confirmed by Anurag.
A startup is culture of someone else’s mind. If a startup is doing very well in the initial stages, it is because of the effort of the initial support of people who started it without them it would not thrive. And if the startup is not working as needed, it is useless to acquire.
"Being into marketing solutions, I managed completely with brand design, marketing collaterals, co-branding activities and brand activation. As per technology and business automation is concerned, I have utilized the 200% of startup wave in India! Now you get technology essentials either absolutely free or with limitations (ideal for a small team). Now you can travel up to 5 km in just Rs.35-thanks to bike taxi startups, you can reach other cities for vendor tie-ups and meetings via car sharing app, you can get clean and professionally managed hotels at just Rs.499, you can get unpaid and paid highly qualified and intelligent interns via free applications, unlimited calls and 4G internet at just Rs.149/month. I think you cannot ask for more than the current startup ecosystem, not only solving the problems of the society but also of budding startups (Bhai-Bhai)" - Anurag Singh.
