About

What makes us
unique.

Voltaire was absolutely right when he said "no problem can stand the assault of sustained thinking". The whole premise of brand and design solutions is thinking differently. And to do that, you need to ask questions. Lots of them. We do. We want to know everything about your business, including your vision, goals, objectives and challenges. Because we believe that when you arm yourself with knowledge and insights, your chances of success are much higher.

Our Services

Incisive, Insightful & Innovative

Brand Strategy

Why you do, what you do and how you do. Asking questions at the very heart of the brand and collaborating to craft roadmaps and experiences that work in the real world.

Communication Strategy

Shouting from rooftops is a thing of the past. A transparent and clear communication strategy can echo for long even when it whispers.

Identity Design

Simple, timeless, uncomplicated yet memorable. The principles of a good logo design. Brought to life.

Website/UI Design

Uncluttered, clean and functional. That's good design. User experiences needs to be seamless and intuitive, and to do that you have to keep things simple.

Collateral Design

What you leave behind with your customers continues to speak on your behalf. Don’t you want them to make a lasting impression? Just like you did? Stationery, brochures, proposals, reports, experience branding and everything in between. Bringing your material workforce to life.

Digital Marketing Strategy

Unravel the ‘who’, ‘where’, ‘what’ and ‘why’ of your audience, then create a strategy for your short and long-term business objectives.

Social Media Strategy

We all want to look good, especially on social media. And so do your brands. From audits to approach and from strategy to execution, it helps to have a roadmap. Let us pave that for you.

Email Marketing

Transform the annoying to engaging. Yes, it is absolutely possible.

Paid Advertising

Remember the typical movie scene where they hire a hitman to do a ‘job’ for money? It’s pretty much the same except the ‘job’ is your audience and the hitman is digital advertising. Oh, and the money part? Continues to reign supreme and still makes the world go round.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Don’t we love it when we hear good things about us? We help do the same for your business. From SEO audits to precise optimization, we spread the good word about your brand. And in the right circles.

Analytics and Reporting

When you are backed with data and insights, you can make informed decisions fearlessly and with confidence. At the end of the day you want to make sure that your business objectives and the digital channels you use function seamlessly and efficiently.

Engaging conversations

Not everything can be quantified or defined by a contract. So if you are passionate about branding, anything remotely close to the subject or if you just want to have a conversation around the subject, give us a call. We'd love to hear your point of view.

The proof is always in the pudding.

“ We at Dhruva engaged with Pranav and his team almost from our inception. Through the last several years, Dhruva has built a brand and recognition in the market place and Pranav and his team have contributed immensely to it. The team is dedicated and passionate about the work, has spent time understanding our organisation and have provided tailored and specific solutions relevant to us and has been not only creative but has risen to the demands of timely service. We look forward to a long continuing relationship with them.”

Dinesh Kanabar

CEO, Dhruva Advisors LLP

“ We have been a client of Archimage and Pranav for a little over a year. Pranav took the time and effort to understand how our brand and story had evolved and internalized how we wanted to take it forward. He helped us curate and develop ideas on brand and design, both externally and internally, in a way that we found very useful and relevant. We’ve tested (unintentionally) Archimage with some of the short deadlines we were up against (things got done, thanks again), and little periods of chaos (which he addressed with aplomb), and we’ve been very satisfied with the work done by Pranav and Archimage.”

Kartik Ganapathy

Co-Founder, IndusLaw

“ When we set out to revamp our website in late 2019, the idea was to just make it more relevant and contemporary, but one week of discussions with Archimage put us on a completely different journey - a journey which helped create a unique identity for our brand by bringing forth our vision and values in a vibrant way. The ideas proposed were simple yet effective and helped us feel more confident about our online presence. We were also helped with ideas to do more with the website to ensure better connect with our customers and associates. The turnaround times were excellent and more importantly, the time and energy spent by our management team on corporate communications was reduced significantly given the wonderful inputs by Archimage and Pranav in particular. All our collaterals, apart from their consistent look and feel, now have our vision and values speaking out loud for us and we never thought that a simple process of developing a website would be so enriching for us - all thanks to Archimage.”

Sundar Sarma

Co-Founder, 22nd Parallel

“ Working with Archimage has been a privilege for a family run unit like ours. Pranav Desai has ably captured our home grown strengths, the locational value of our premises, igniting the spark needed to get people out to Uran for a quick getaway. They are very regular in updating our website & prompt with all the promotional matter we need. You can’t go wrong choosing Archimage.”

Jennifer Fernandes

Director, Hotel Uran Plaza

“ At Satva Biotech Pvt. Ltd. we have been associated with Archimage since the beginning of our organisational journey, Pranav and team at Archimage have designed, developed and maintain our E-comm store site, social media infographics, packaging design and all other necessary external communications. Pranav and Archimage are an extended arm of our organisation and a partner of choice for us. The team led by Pranav is one of the most technically qualified in their domain and a professional set of people.”

AMIT THAKER

COO, Satva Biotech Pvt. Ltd.

“ We have been working with Pranav since early 2015 when we launched our publication Fintelligence. Pranav and his team are our branding and marketing collateral partners in every sense of the word. He is instrumental in making us think of our brand, marketing collaterals, and the way forward. Most graphic designers and firms are focused on manufacturing or real estate sectors. We find Pranav to be someone who understands the financial services industry and the marketing and branding nuances that go with it. We highly recommend his services for his keen design sense, sensibility on branding, and hands-on approach to client servicing.”
