Coonoor's marketing team. Just not based in Coonoor.
A founder raised in these hills, a remote crew spread across India, and ten-plus years turning local businesses into names people actually search for.
Start the conversationThere's no office on the hill, no signage on the high street. A few business owners weren't sold on that at first, some asked for in-person meetings before they'd sign on. Ten-plus years and 14 Coonoor businesses later, that hesitation is long gone. What won them over wasn't proximity, it was the work: a founder who grew up in these hills, a remote team spread across the country, and campaigns run entirely online for hospitality, tea estates, food, retail, real estate, and healthcare brands across the region.
Why Coonoor businesses work with us
Here's what actually gets us hired, and kept on:
- 10+ YRS
We know the market, the businesses, the people. Ten-plus years of work across different regions funnels straight into every campaign we run for Coonoor.
- TECH STACK
Access to the new-age marketing, automation, and tech stack that's usually reserved for digital-forward businesses in bigger cities.
- NO BST
We don't run on what the team jokingly calls "BST," Bombay Standard Time. Deadlines move at the pace the campaign needs.
- HOME GROUND
Coonoor and Ooty are literally co-founder Rachit's backyard. He grew up here, so the market was never a guess, it's home ground.

Notes from the hills
"It was a breeze setting up our website thanks to the very helpful and enthusiastic team at The Small Business Project. They have been very proactive with updates and alterations when required and been an integral part of our journey into online sales. They have also assisted us with marketing, WhatsApp integration, and chatbot set up."
"They are an organised group who have put their heart and soul into what they do. I can proudly say that I have personally had a steep increase in revenue ever since I signed up with them. TSBP gets full credit for the clientele I have built in the last 2 years. The team puts in a lot of effort for every single one of our events and gets us maximum traction on social media, so we get maximum walk-ins. They are easy to communicate with and understand our needs in no time, and I trust them completely with paid promotions: their targeting is wise, aiming for the right audience rather than the masses."
"Undoubtedly the most efficient and dedicated team I've worked with. Always ready to help deliver even the smallest of my needs in terms of website and social media marketing, which in turn helps me get my place booked even during lean days."
"It's been a pleasure working with The Small Business Project. A young team that has, very efficiently and effectively, handled the design of our revamped website. I found them to be a very responsive lot of professionals. Highly recommended."
"A hands-on, proactive team of youngsters willing to think out of the box and go the distance. Have enjoyed working with Rachit and his team."
