B2B marketing in India splits into two kinds of work. One is digital: content, search, LinkedIn and account-based campaigns aimed at a list of target companies. The other happens on the ground: dealers, distributors, retailers and small-business owners who buy after someone visits them.
This list covers four companies across both, with what each specialises in.

How to choose
Know where your buyer is
If your buyers are IT and finance decision-makers in large companies, digital account-based marketing and inside sales work well. If they are retailers, dealers, contractors or small businesses spread across cities, you need people in the field.
Agree what counts as a lead
Write down what a qualified lead is before the campaign starts: company size, role, budget, timing. Pay for leads that meet it, and ask how the agency verifies them.
Connect marketing to sales
Ask how leads will reach your sales team, how quickly they are followed up, and what reporting you will get on meetings and orders, not only clicks.
Limits of this list
Only Denave's revenue is published, through its parent's results. TopHawks, The Smarketers and upGrowth are private and are described from their own published information. Ask any agency for case studies in your industry and for references you can call.
