Mumbai born, globally trusted
People feel a product before they can explain it. We design and build for that feeling.
Why the ampersand
Design is how it feels. Code is how it works. The ampersand is the part most studios skip: integration, hosting and care after launch. We learned why it matters as students running a hosting company, taking support calls on Sundays.

Capabilities
Our name maps the journey. Design sets the strategy, the ampersand turns it into business change, and Code builds it to last. One team, the whole way.
Explore all capabilities01 · Strategy and experience
Strategy first: the problem worth solving, in two sentences. Then research, UX and UI that make it simple, with AR and VR where they genuinely help.
02 · Digital transformation
The connective work that turns software into business results: ERP, CRM and point of sale connected, data put to work, cloud kept fast, growth measured monthly.
03 · Product engineering
We build websites, web and mobile apps, commerce and AI that load fast on a mid range phone and are still easy to change next year.
Selected partnerships
Marketplaces, learning platforms, member portals and commerce for GoDaddy, Mahindra, IVCA and founders from Mumbai to Dubai.

A D2C skincare brand in Dubai
A headless store, an app for regulars and a bilingual AI concierge, so a Dubai skincare brand feels like one brand everywhere.
How we work
Six phases, each pairing a way of thinking with a way of making. Every Friday, you click through working software.
See the method in detailPhase 01 · Listen
We start with your people, your customers and what already exists, until the problem fits in two sentences.
Phase 02 · Map
Research, audits and requirements turn into a plan with a price and its assumptions in plain view.
Phase 03 · Sketch
Wireframes, prototypes and visual design, drawn next to the technical blueprint so nothing surprises the build.
Phase 04 · Build
Two week sprints, a demo every Friday, and people whose job is to break what we make before your customers can.
Phase 05 · Launch
Performance, security and accessibility checks, training and a rehearsed go-live that feels like a non-event.
Phase 06 · Care
Hosting, monitoring, support and growth work, so the product gets better every month instead of older.

WellbeingIn their words
D&C Studio's website development team far exceeded my expectations on every front. The end product is a beautiful website that embodies who we are as a company. Every person I worked with at D&C was knowledgeable, creative, prompt and personable.
D&C behaved like our own product team. The store, the app and the AI concierge feel like one brand, and the numbers moved within a quarter.
A unique online presence, reliable and fast web hosting, secure transactions using SSL and simple SEO services from Hosting Seva have all been key to Ekeeda's early success.
We came with a design file and a deadline. They pushed back on two screens, rebuilt our onboarding and shipped both apps a week early. Our activation rate has not looked back.
They did not ask us to throw away a system we trusted. They built the member experience around it, and our members finally have their passbook in their pocket.
Hosting Seva's reputation for reliable servers, competitive pricing and excellent customer service, personalised to my business, reminds me every day that I made the right decision.
Arabic and English, three warehouses, one checkout. The new store is faster than the one it replaced, and our own team runs it without calling anyone.
Orders used to be typed into three systems. Now they flow from WhatsApp into our ERP on their own, and my team spends that time on customers instead.
Made in Mumbai. Made for the world.
Our core team works from Mumbai: the same working day as the Gulf and Singapore, a generous afternoon with London, early calls for New York. A named partner is always on your account, and on WhatsApp.

Which platform is better has no single answer. Which is better for the next two years of your store does, and it depends on your sales, your catalogue and who will be on call when checkout breaks.

Flutter, React Native and native quotes look alike in year one. Hiring, performance and maintenance decide what your app really costs in year two.
