They mostly hire freshers in the team, as interns, and provide an opportunity for them to work and grow in a professional environment.

“The major challenge for a designing company is to get a client. Until we have a client, we can’t produce good designs. And, showing the great works done by us is the best way to reach our probable clients,” says Suman. “It’s also challenging for us to make the clients know that it’s not the work at a cheaper cost what matters, but the quality of work,” he
