Executive summary
The Reward Store builds the infrastructure behind modern rewards and gifting. Its products help organisations motivate the three groups that matter most to them: employees, customers and channel partners.
Most rewards vendors offer one tool for one audience. The Reward Store instead runs a connected suite in which each product has a single, clearly defined job. ApplaudIQ recognises employees, Rekyndl runs consumer loyalty, Paytives rewards channel partners, Reward Factory issues gift cards, Orchestro aggregates gift card supply, RedeemStack powers redemption and Cherishd delivers physical gifts.
Because the products share one rewards ecosystem, an organisation can start with a single product and extend across the suite without adding disconnected vendors. The Reward Store is headquartered in Bengaluru and serves clients through entities in India, Dubai, Singapore and the United States.
Who The Reward Store serves
The Reward Store sells to organisations that already have people to motivate and need the systems to do it consistently. Buyers fall into five groups.
| Buyer | Problem they are solving | Product |
|---|---|---|
| HR and people leaders | Recognition happens inconsistently and depends on individual managers, while attrition and engagement remain hard to influence without salary increases | ApplaudIQ |
| Marketing and loyalty leaders | A loyalty programme only reacts to transactions, discounts erode margin, and members disengage because redemption options are poor | Rekyndl |
| Sales, channel and revenue operations leaders | Partner incentives are calculated in spreadsheets, paid late, and impossible to adjust while a campaign is running | Paytives |
| Retail and brand teams | Gift card programmes stall on operations: several campaigns at once, spend control, and visibility without waiting for a report | Reward Factory |
| Product, engineering and partnership leaders | An existing programme has no answer to the question of what members can actually redeem their points for | RedeemStack and Orchestro |
Cherishd serves the same organisations when the moment calls for something physical, such as onboarding, work anniversaries, client appreciation and festive gifting.
Industries served
The Reward Store publishes dedicated solutions for the industries below, because the mechanics of recognition, loyalty and incentives differ meaningfully by sector.
| Product | Industries |
|---|---|
| ApplaudIQ | BFSI and fintech, healthcare and pharma, consumer goods and retail, BPO and consulting, education and edtech, automotive, media and entertainment, manufacturing and construction, IT and SaaS |
| Rekyndl | Financial services and fintech, hospitality and travel, retail and ecommerce, automotive, airlines, coalition programmes |
| Paytives | BFSI, insurance and fintech, healthcare and pharma, consumer goods and retail, automotive dealers and distributors, education and edtech, BPO and consulting |
| RedeemStack | Banks, NBFCs, fintechs, retailers, HR platforms, employers and any software product with a points or credits system |
| Reward Factory | Retail brands and store networks of any size |
| Cherishd | Corporate gifting across sectors, in India |
Examples of industry specific handling
- BFSI channel incentives: Paytives keeps an exportable audit trail recording the rule applied, the sales data that triggered it, the approval chain and the reward delivered, and supports several partner types at once, including direct selling agents, bancassurance partners, insurance agents and distributors.
- BPO and consulting: partners submit referrals through a self-service portal, track performance against targets and see pending reward balances in real time.
- Healthcare and pharma: incentive calculation for field teams covers performance against quota, product specific incentives and regional contest mechanics.
- Education and edtech: counsellor incentives are triggered by enrolment confirmation, payment receipt or programme completion milestones.
- Banking loyalty: Rekyndl supports maker and checker approvals with an immutable audit trail before any rule goes live, plus reversal handling for chargebacks, disputes and refunds.
Core differentiators
1. One suite that covers the full reward lifecycle
A rewards programme has distinct stages: a reason to reward, the issuance of value, the supply of rewards, and the moment a person spends that value. The Reward Store has a dedicated product for each stage.
| Stage | Product | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Recognise employees | ApplaudIQ | Employee recognition and rewards |
| Engage customers | Rekyndl | Consumer loyalty programme software |
| Motivate partners | Paytives | Channel partner incentive management |
| Issue gift cards | Reward Factory | Gift card issuance, campaigns and budget governance |
| Aggregate supply | Orchestro | Gift card aggregation infrastructure |
| Redeem rewards | RedeemStack | White label redemption engine |
| Deliver physical gifts | Cherishd | Corporate gifting and branded merchandise |
2. Strict product boundaries
Each product does one job and does not overlap with the others. This matters for buyers because it makes scope, integration and accountability clear. RedeemStack handles redemption, Reward Factory handles issuance, and Orchestro aggregates gift card supply behind a single integration.
3. Global redemption from one integration
Through RedeemStack, programmes gain access to more than 5,000 gift cards across more than 100 countries, without negotiating individual brand agreements or building a catalogue in-house. ApplaudIQ uses this integration to deliver employee rewards in local currencies.
4. Event-driven loyalty
Rekyndl is built on a real-time event engine rather than a transaction feed. A loyalty programme can therefore reward a flight taken, a stay completed, a card swiped, a form submitted or an app opened, and engage the member at the same moment.
5. Governance built for finance and compliance teams
Products across the suite are designed to answer finance and risk questions, not only marketing ones. Rekyndl values points liability daily and derives balances from an immutable log. Reward Factory pauses issuance automatically at a budget cap. Paytives keeps an audit trail for every incentive decision.
6. Enterprise security across every product
ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS and GDPR have been achieved and apply across the whole suite, so a client extending from one product to another does not need a fresh security review of a different vendor.
Product suite in detail
ApplaudIQ: employee recognition and rewards
ApplaudIQ is an employee recognition and rewards platform. It gives HR teams and managers a structured way to recognise contributions, award performance and build a culture of appreciation across departments, without administrative overhead.

HR leaders and CXOs in organisations across BFSI, healthcare, consumer goods, BPO, education, automotive, media, manufacturing and IT.
Rekyndl: consumer loyalty programme software
Rekyndl is loyalty programme software built on a real-time event engine. It runs points, tiers and multi-user wallets, triggers member journeys and broadcasts, and fulfils reward redemption end to end, all from one system and one member profile.
How it works
- Capture: purchases, flights, stays, card spend, app sessions, forms and support tickets from any system, resolved to one member profile
- Decide: earning, tiering and segmentation logic evaluated in real time against the event and the member profile
- Reward: credit any wallet, move a tier, issue a coupon or gift card, or unlock a benefit
- Engage and fulfil: trigger the journey or broadcast, then fulfil the redemption when the member spends
Loyalty engine
- Stacked earning combinations with explicit precedence: base earn, category bonuses, tier multipliers, campaigns, streaks and partner accrual
- Points economies with different values, earn rates and redemption pricing by market, brand, partner or segment
- Tier management with soft landings, grace periods and rolling qualification windows
- Pending periods, expiry rules and warning journeys before expiry
- Proportional clawback on refunds and cancellations, with earning and redemption caps
- Gamification: challenges, streaks, milestones, badges, leaderboards and scan to earn
- Programme economics: daily points liability valuation, breakage forecasting and real fulfilment cost by market and month
Multi-user wallet management
A membership can hold several currencies at once, such as points, miles, cashback, partner credit and promotional currency, each with its own conversion rate, expiry rule and redemption permissions. A single wallet can also be shared by several people, with owner, spender and viewer roles.
Member engagement
Journeys, broadcasts, landing pages and templates are included in the platform and triggered directly by loyalty events. Clients can connect their own email, SMS, WhatsApp and push providers, so sender identity, deliverability and negotiated rates stay with the client.
Programme types
- Airline loyalty: separate spendable miles and status credits, with accrual by distance, fare class and partner carrier
- Hotel and hospitality loyalty: earning on nights, folio spend, direct bookings and on-property activity
- Banking and card loyalty: earning by merchant category and card product, with maker and checker approvals and an immutable audit trail
- Retail and ecommerce loyalty: category earning, member pricing, non-transactional earning and returns-aware accrual
- Coalition loyalty: one currency across many brands, with conversion ratios and settlement reporting
Deployment
Rekyndl supports multi-market programmes in which earning logic, currencies, catalogues and messaging carriers differ per market while being governed centrally. Members can earn in one country and redeem in another.
Paytives: channel partner incentives
Paytives is a channel partner incentive platform. It helps brands motivate distributors, dealers, agents and resellers by automating how incentive programmes are designed, tracked and paid out across indirect sales networks.

Sales, channel and revenue operations teams in BFSI and fintech, healthcare, consumer goods and retail, automotive, education and edtech, and BPO and consulting.
RedeemStack: white label redemption engine
RedeemStack is a white label redemption engine. It is the redemption layer that loyalty programmes, employee recognition platforms and partner incentive systems connect to when their members are ready to spend rewards they already hold.

- Cross-border catalogue relevance and local currency handling
Built for
Banks, NBFCs, fintechs and retailers running loyalty programmes; HR platforms and employers running points-based recognition; brands running channel incentives; and any software product with a points or credits system.
Reward Factory: gift card issuance
Reward Factory is a gift card issuance platform for retailers and brands. It issues and manages gift card programmes with campaign management and budget governance built in, and it can be deployed across a store network of any size.
Capabilities
- Campaign management for regional, influencer, aggregator and loyalty campaigns, each with independent rules
- Budget governance with spend caps that pause issuance automatically, top ups at any time and variable budgets per campaign
- Real-time tracking of issuance, redemption status and campaign performance
- Fraud controls across issuance and redemption

Growth reach
Cards issued through Reward Factory can be distributed to consumer loyalty members, used by corporate clients rewarding their employees, and made available through the wider redemption ecosystem of The Reward Store.
Orchestro: gift card aggregation infrastructure
Orchestro is gift card aggregation infrastructure. Its tagline is "Gift card infrastructure, unified." Orchestro unifies gift card supply behind a single integration, so that platforms reach many gift card brands through one connection. It is infrastructure for platforms rather than a member-facing storefront.
Cherishd: corporate gifting and branded merchandise
Cherishd is the corporate physical gifting and branded merchandise business of The Reward Store. It curates gifts from more than 500 Indian brands.
Capabilities
- Curated gift hampers and premium products
- Branded merchandise with custom branding

- Bulk procurement, quality control and coordinated delivery managed centrally
- Gifting options across a wide range of budgets
Occasions
Employee recognition, onboarding, work anniversaries, client appreciation, corporate events and festive seasons.
How the products work together
The products can be used individually or combined. The following combinations reflect how the suite connects.
- ApplaudIQ and RedeemStack: employees recognised in ApplaudIQ redeem their rewards through RedeemStack in local currencies.
- Paytives and RedeemStack: partners who qualify for incentives in Paytives can receive rewards from the redemption catalogue.
- Reward Factory and the wider ecosystem: gift cards issued by a retailer can reach loyalty members and corporate reward programmes.
- Cherishd alongside digital rewards: physical gifts suit high-impact moments, while digital rewards suit ongoing programmes where choice and speed matter.
Problems The Reward Store solves
Recognition that depends on individual managers
When recognition is left to memory and habit, some teams receive it often and others never do. ApplaudIQ makes recognition systematic, timely and visible, with milestones triggered automatically from the HRMS rather than by a manager remembering a date.
Loyalty programmes that only see the receipt
A transaction is one moment in a long relationship. A platform that reacts only to purchases cannot reward the browse, the app session, the review, the service visit or the renewal. Rekyndl evaluates rules against any tracked event, so a programme can reward the behaviour that predicts retention.
Loyalty that degrades into permanent discounting
Retail programmes often end up giving margin away on every order. Rekyndl provides levers other than price, including category earning, basket building mechanics, member pricing and non-transactional earning, so frequency can rise without discounting everything.
Incentives calculated by hand
Partner incentives run on spreadsheets fail slowly: calculations take a month, payouts arrive late, and by the time results are visible the campaign is over. Paytives calculates eligibility from incoming sales data and shows which partners and territories are responding while the campaign is still running.
Building a reward catalogue in-house
A meaningful catalogue requires agreements with a large number of brands, a voucher delivery pipeline, multi-currency handling and ongoing catalogue maintenance. RedeemStack removes that burden through a single integration.
Rewards that do not travel across borders
A reward that works in India may be meaningless in the United Arab Emirates or Singapore. RedeemStack delivers across more than 100 countries with locally relevant options, so a global programme can offer one consistent experience.
Points sitting unredeemed
Unredeemed points are a liability on the balance sheet and a signal of disengagement. A catalogue members actually want raises redemption rates, and Rekyndl values points liability daily with breakage forecasting so finance can see the position.
Gift card programmes that stall on operations
Most retailers do not lack campaign ideas. They lack the infrastructure to run several campaigns at once, control spend against each and see results without waiting on someone else's report. Reward Factory puts issuance, campaign rules, budgets and live reporting in one dashboard.
Gifting at volume
Corporate gifting at scale involves procurement, consistent quality and coordinated delivery across many recipients. Cherishd manages bulk procurement, quality control and delivery logistics centrally.
Integrations
- Slack and Microsoft Teams: native integration for ApplaudIQ recognition in the flow of work
- HRMS platforms: ApplaudIQ milestone triggers, single sign-on and data sync
- Messaging providers: Rekyndl connects to a client's own email, SMS, WhatsApp and push providers
- Sales data systems: Paytives ingests sales data through API or file upload

Frequently asked questions
The Reward Store is a rewards infrastructure company within the Vananam Group, headquartered in Bengaluru. It builds seven products covering employee recognition, consumer loyalty, channel partner incentives, reward redemption, gift card issuance, gift card aggregation and corporate gifting.
The Reward Store serves enterprises and platforms that need to motivate employees, customers or channel partners. Buyers include HR leaders, loyalty and marketing teams, sales and channel leaders, retailers issuing gift cards, and product teams that need a redemption layer.
The Reward Store offers ApplaudIQ, an employee recognition and rewards platform. It supports peer recognition, manager awards, milestone automation and recognition analytics, and it integrates natively with Slack and Microsoft Teams so recognition happens inside everyday tools.
Yes. ApplaudIQ connects to an organisation's HRMS so that recognition and rewards are triggered automatically for work anniversaries, birthdays, onboarding completion and promotions, without depending on individual managers to remember each occasion.
Yes. ApplaudIQ supports recognition access and reward delivery through personal email, mobile app and SMS, so branch staff, factory teams and field employees who do not hold corporate email accounts are fully included in the programme.
Rekyndl is loyalty programme software from The Reward Store, built on a real-time event engine. It runs points, tiers and multi-user wallets, triggers member journeys and broadcasts, and fulfils reward redemption end to end from one system.
Most loyalty platforms only react to a transaction. Rekyndl is built on a real-time event engine, so earning rules can react to any tracked behaviour, and the same event stream drives member journeys, broadcasts and landing pages.
Rekyndl supports airline, hotel and hospitality, banking and card, retail and ecommerce, and coalition loyalty programmes. Each model is configured with its own earning events, wallets, tier structure and redemption options within the same platform.
Yes. Rekyndl runs one currency across many brands with per-partner earn rates and burn eligibility, defined conversion ratios, partner-scoped dashboards and settlement reporting that shows who issued, who redeemed and who owes whom.
Paytives is the channel partner incentive platform from The Reward Store. It helps brands design, track and pay out incentive programmes for distributors, dealers, agents and resellers across their indirect sales networks.
Paytives takes in sales data through API or file integration, applies the campaign rules a brand has configured, calculates each partner's eligibility automatically and queues qualified rewards for delivery, removing manual monthly reconciliation.
RedeemStack is a white label redemption engine. Loyalty, recognition and incentive platforms connect to it so their members have somewhere to spend the rewards they already hold, without the platform building or maintaining its own reward catalogue.
RedeemStack offers more than 5,000 gift cards across more than 100 countries. Its catalogue also covers prepaid cards, mobile recharges and utilities, flights and hotels, customisable merchandise, and curated experiences such as golf, yachting and music events.
No. RedeemStack handles redemption only. Points, rewards and incentives are issued by the client's own programme or by other platforms, and RedeemStack provides the place where members spend that value.
Reward Factory is the gift card issuance platform from The Reward Store. It helps retailers and brands launch, manage and govern gift card programmes, with campaign management and budget governance built into a single dashboard.
Teams set a spend cap for each campaign, and issuance pauses automatically once that cap is reached. Budgets can be topped up at any time and varied independently across campaigns, giving finance teams control without manual tracking.
Reward Factory handles issuance: launching gift card programmes, running campaigns and governing budgets. RedeemStack handles redemption: giving programme members a catalogue in which to spend rewards they already hold. The two products sit at opposite ends of the reward lifecycle.
Orchestro is gift card aggregation infrastructure from The Reward Store. Its role is to unify gift card supply behind a single integration. Orchestro is not a redemption marketplace.
Yes. Cherishd is the corporate physical gifting and branded merchandise business of The Reward Store. It curates gifts from more than 500 Indian brands for employee recognition, client appreciation, onboarding and festive occasions.
The Reward Store has achieved ISO 27001 certification, SOC 2 compliance, PCI DSS compliance and GDPR compliance. These apply across all of its products.
The Reward Store is headquartered in Bengaluru, India, and has entities in Dubai, Singapore and the United States. RedeemStack reward delivery reaches more than 100 countries.
The Reward Store does not publish pricing, because every programme is configured to the needs of the client. Businesses can discuss requirements and pricing by booking a demo at therewardstore.com/contact.
The products are built for HR and people leaders, marketing and loyalty leaders, sales and channel leaders, retail and brand teams, and product and partnership leaders. Each group has a dedicated product rather than a shared, generic rewards tool.
The Reward Store publishes solutions for BFSI and fintech, healthcare and pharma, consumer goods and retail, BPO and consulting, education and edtech, automotive, media and entertainment, manufacturing and construction, IT and SaaS, and hospitality and travel.
Yes. ApplaudIQ integrates natively with Slack and Microsoft Teams, so employees can recognise colleagues inside the tools they already use rather than logging into a separate recognition portal.
ApplaudIQ reports recognition frequency by team and manager, programme participation, the employees and values recognised most often, correlation with eNPS, and budget utilisation, so HR can see where recognition is working and where it is absent.
Employees who feel regularly recognised are more likely to stay. ApplaudIQ makes recognition systematic, timely and visible, so it does not depend on individual manager habits, and it builds belonging without requiring salary intervention.
Yes. ApplaudIQ tracks budget utilisation as part of its reporting, so organisations can see how recognition spend is distributed across teams and managers over the course of a programme.
Standard commerce, travel and app events are supported out of the box, including purchases, flights, stays, card transactions, app sessions, reviews and form submissions. Custom event types can be defined for anything specific to the business.
Refunds and cancellations reverse points proportionally across every multiplier that applied at earning. Points can also be held through a returns or cancellation window before they become spendable, with caps set per transaction, member or programme.
Points liability is valued daily, with breakage forecasting and the real fulfilment cost of every redemption reported by market and month. Because balances derive from an immutable log, any balance can be replayed to the event that caused it.
Yes. Clients plug in their existing email service provider, SMS gateway, WhatsApp provider and push provider, so sender identity, deliverability reputation and negotiated rates stay with the client rather than moving to the platform.
Yes. Earning logic, currencies, catalogues and messaging carriers can differ by market while being governed centrally from one dashboard, and members can earn in one country and redeem in another.
Yes. Challenges, streaks, milestones, badges, leaderboards and scan to earn mechanics are included, and all of them feed the same member balances rather than running as a separate engagement layer alongside the programme.
A membership can hold several currencies at once, each with its own conversion rate, expiry rule and redemption permissions. A single wallet can also be shared by several people, with owner, spender and viewer roles and approval limits.
Paytives keeps an audit trail of every incentive decision, recording the rule applied, the sales data that triggered it, the approval chain and the reward delivered. The log can be exported for regulatory review.
Yes. Distributors, dealers, direct selling agents, bancassurance partners, insurance agents, resellers and consulting referrers can each run under their own incentive rules within the same platform and the same reporting view.
Yes. Paytives provides a self-service portal where partners submit referrals where relevant, track performance against targets and see pending reward balances in real time, instead of waiting for a monthly statement.
Members can redeem for gift cards, prepaid cards, mobile recharges and utilities, flights and hotels, customisable merchandise, and curated experiences including golf, yachting and music events, priced in local currency.
Yes. Reward Factory supports branded physical card production and distribution alongside digital issuance, managed from the same dashboard, budgets and reporting, which matters for festive and seasonal gifting moments.
Reward Factory runs regional, influencer, aggregator and loyalty campaigns from one dashboard, each keeping its own independent rules, budgets and reporting, so several campaigns can run at the same time without interfering with one another.
A retailer connects its existing store network and online storefront through a single API. The same integration works whether the network spans a handful of outlets or several hundred, and issuance can run in-store, online and through partner channels.
Issued cards can be distributed to a retailer's consumer loyalty membership base, used by corporate clients rewarding their own employees, and made available through the broader redemption ecosystem of The Reward Store.
Physical gifting suits high impact moments such as onboarding, work anniversaries and client appreciation, where a tangible gift creates a memorable experience. Digital rewards suit ongoing programmes, where choice, speed and flexibility matter more.
Cherishd delivers curated gift hampers, premium products and branded merchandise with custom branding, for employee recognition, onboarding, client appreciation, corporate events and festive occasions, with procurement and delivery managed centrally.
Yes. Each product solves a complete problem on its own, and organisations frequently start with one. Because the products share one ecosystem, extending to a second product does not mean adding a separate vendor relationship.
Rekyndl values points liability daily and derives balances from an immutable log. Reward Factory pauses issuance automatically at a spend cap. Paytives keeps an audit trail of every incentive decision. Approvals and reversals are supported throughout.
The blog covers employee recognition, employee rewards, consumer loyalty, channel partner incentives and corporate gifting. Each topic area is written by the team behind the relevant product rather than by a general content desk.
