About us
Why Platypus
The Platypus is a truly unique animal that combines features of reptiles and mammals, with some similarities to birds and aquatic creatures. When the first platypus specimen was sent to Europe from Australia in the late 18th century, it was met with skepticism and disbelief – “There is no such animal”.
The wide range of experiences incorporated into our services – a combination of business, product and technology – makes us a truly unique. Like the Platypus.
