Have you ever heard this quote?

“you should be working on your business, not in it”

Well Gmaven is lucky in that we are positioned those critical few meters above the coalface of our customers’ day to day grind. That is to say, while customers are deep in the cut and thrust of working in their business, us here are afforded a slightly higher vantage point. With our access to tech and unrelenting focus on efficiencies, Gmaven’s core business is CRE innovation.

While deep in our own business, we are blessed with the privilege of a 1,000 meter altitude on yours. So we feel duty bound to share this perspective.
