“Design is our way of elevating the world with meaningful experiences & pushing the limit of what humans can do.”

We have never felt more strongly about the opportunities of doing some really ground-breaking work whether it is building niche products, products for the masses or doing really deep and specialised design work for some really prominent organisations in the Indian industry.  Read on and connect with us to know more about this.

In 2014 ColoredCow started with a simple core thought – that no meaningful idea should remain just an idea and that our work should support and enrich the lives we want to lead. Over time, ColoredCow has played a pivotal role in fueling our creative ambitions, our deep desire to do quality work, and to do it the right way – with care, harmony, and commitment. It has allowed us to create an environment for ourselves where we can execute our best possible work while continuously pushing the limit. 

It is a collective group which people can rely on for their diverse, challenging problems. It is a place where we can do the things the right way and have the opportunity to influence the outcomes. We work hard, with all of our heart, to create things that enrich our souls and add meaning to our lives. It is easier to do so when everyone is committed towards the same direction.

Over the last 5 years, while our core has remained the same, we have been experimental to be the best version of ourselves. Our experiments have been around forming the best processes for solving business challenges for our clients, to deliver the work with the best possible experience. We’ve also experimented and been successful with running a kitchen facility for ourselves to have access to food round the clock, building our office space full of greens, working remotely both within India and Internationally, working with international clients without hiccups, training students at engineering colleges without disrupting our work. We have experimented with sprinting and burning the midnight oil, and we’ve experimented with taking it easy and pacing things out. It has been an exciting journey worth every bit of it. The journey has taught us what works and what doesn’t, what’s valuable and what is wasteful. Over the years we have also strengthened our cultural values because we understand how important these are to keep us together and to give us happiness and satisfaction of working together. We have grown organically to be profitable, to build a team and a list of clients to produce the work we’re proud of. We have been fired up to evolve and do better as a company, to grow stronger with each passing year with no sign of this fire burning out.

The next 5 years are going to be phenomenal as well; we call on the designers who don’t just more the pixels but the world around them.

Proportional to experience, skillset and contributions.
(We want to grow. We want to walk with great people to close the distance. We are reasonable. We believe in plentiful. We believe in sharing. Period.)
