Its philosophy “Built for Now” means crafting solutions that are flexible, adaptive, and relevant in the present moment. The approach of bringing together data, technology, and content and the balance of creative and analytical thinking, enables it to deliver quality content to the right people at the right place.

As per the DRHP, Yaap Digital Limited intends to utilise up to ?34.00 crore of the total IPO proceeds for funding part payment of purchase consideration for the proposed acquisition of GoZoop Online Private Limited, ?4.01 crore for funding capital expenditure to be incurred for Establishment of an AI-Led Short-Form Content Production Hub (ACP Hub), and ?16.00 crore for funding the company’s incremental working capital requirements.

The company’s business is structured around a fully digital model that focuses on modern marketing methods rather than traditional approaches. It offers services that bring together data, AI-based tools, and content to help clients manage their marketing needs.
