"Legates" — official representatives, ambassadors sent on behalf of a state. The name we chose because that's the relationship we wanted with our clients: we represent your brand into the digital world. Not vendors, not consultants — emissaries.
We started because we kept watching ambitious Indian brands burn money on the wrong agency model: six separate vendors, none accountable for the whole, all blaming each other when results didn't show. We built the opposite — one in-house team, one accountable POC, one set of standards across every capability.
The non-negotiables that show up in every brief, sprint, and quarterly review.
Decks and deliverables don't pay anyone's salary. We measure ourselves on the business numbers your CFO actually cares about — revenue, retention, payback, LTV.
Cheap design and rushed engineering compound into permanent brand damage. We refuse to ship work we'd be embarrassed to put in our own portfolio — even when the deadline says we should.
If your problem isn't the one you're hiring us for, we'll say so — even at the risk of losing the project. Trust compounds. Diplomacy doesn't.
The milestones, in order. The pivots, the bets, the moments we doubled down.
Started with three people, one room, and a single client — a Patna restaurant chain that needed local SEO. They're still with us.
While most agencies cut, we doubled down on Shopify and D2C expertise. Ended 2020 with 40 clients across India and a remote-first delivery model.
Brought on senior hires in technical SEO, brand strategy, and engineering. Stopped competing on price. Started competing on outcomes.
Launched dedicated capability for AI search, custom assistants, and automation. Within twelve months it was our fastest-growing service line.
50+ in-house specialists. 200+ brands across 15+ sectors. Offices in Patna, with delivery teams operating remotely across Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore. Still hiring.
Strategists, designers, engineers, marketers, analysts, project managers — all in-house, all on our payroll, all accountable to the same standards. We hire for craft and intellectual honesty above everything else. We're hiring.
The most refreshing thing about working with Digital Legates is that they will tell you the truth. Even when it's the opposite of what their P&L wants to hear.— Rajiv K., Founder, Studio Marigold
One call. Thirty minutes. We'll tell you honestly whether we're the agency for the problem you're trying to solve.
