LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- SRAX, Inc. (NASDAQ: SRAX), a digital marketing and consumer data management technology company, signed a joint venture with the Yash Birla Group to launch BIGtoken in India. Based in Mumbai, the Yash Birla Group, one of India's largest conglomerates, has diversified interests in consumer and industrial products.
"BIGtoken's unique data management platform is a great fit for our diverse consumer product portfolio and India's growing marketplace," said Anant Vardhan Pathak, President of Melstar Information Technologies, a Yash Birla Group Company. "Building a data asset that aggregates anonymized information will help us reach the right consumers in India and drive sales.

Advertisers need specific data to effectively understand the growing pool of consumers, and BIGtoken accelerates this process. Our geographical expansion furthers our mission to become the undisputed platform offering everyone in the world choice, transparency, and compensation for their data, while building the world's most valuable opted-in data set."
