History[edit]
In 1995, founder Amin Rahman Ramjee started the business that would become DiscountMugs out of his living room with less than five employees. Ramjee grew the company 30% over its first two decades by becoming an early adopter of Google’s AdWords and Analytics advertising programs.[3]
In 2014, Ernst & Young named Ramjee the Entrepreneur of the Year for Florida Distribution and Manufacturing, and DiscountMugs also featured on behalf of the state of Florida in Google's United States Economic Impact Report.[3] [4]. That same year, DiscountMugs received investment from and partnered with Comvest Partners through its parent company BEL USA, LLC. [5]
DiscountMugs currently operates a 343,000 square-foot facility based in Miami, FL and employs over a thousand people worldwide under the leadership of CEO Sai Koppaka.[6]
Charity[edit]
In the early stages of the COVID-19 Pandemic, DiscountMugs sent tens of thousands of PPE masks to at-risk groups in Florida—including 11,000 to low-income seniors across the Miami-Dade and Broward counties.[7] The company also started a program to help nearby small businesses with their customer outreach efforts, awarding $12,000 in custom promotional merchandise to companies in local areas throughout South Florida.[8]
