Subhomay Banerjee, Co-Founder

There's something to be said for being in the right place at the right time. Prasit Bhattacharya and Subhomay Banerjee met through a common friend while appearing for a job interview. Both of them were there to apply for the same position and instead they got into a lengthy conversation about how things could be done differently and eventually decided to start something on their own together. This marked the beginning of designs.codes. Both Prasit and Subhomay combine their knowledge and passion for web technologies to deliver scalable solutions and measurable results to businesses - right from building web applications and software to providing custom solutions.

Recognized to be one of the best startups in outsourcing solutions, designs.codes offers outsourced remote staffing solution for SMBs, Startups, Enterprises and Agencies. “We are doing this by bridging the quality-cost gap. Automation results in transparency and that impacts the costs and billings directly. Our clients understand that we charge the right amount to get the job done perfectly and nothing more,” informs Prasit.

While most of the competitors are either selling legacy/outdated technology to clients to keep up the margin or are showcasing the latest technologies at exorbitant price points, team designs. codes act consistently throughout the project lifecycles. “Clients prefer to work with us because of the complete transparency right from day one and over time they start valuing us more than just outsourcing partners once they see that we are always willing to go the extra mile for their success,” Subhomay says.

Subhomay Banerjee
Apart from defining the strategic roadmap for the business along with Prasit,as aco-founder of designs.codes, Subhomay takes care of the technology and finance. “You could say that’s somewhat like being the CTO and CFO at the same time. The only reason I am able to do this is that I am equally passionate about both and it doesn’t really feel like work when every day you get to do something you love.”

Prasit Bhattacharya
Prasit’s job could be described quite simply - delivering growth. That applies not only to the bottom-line but also to the growth of the team members, market reputation, and business verticals. “I am responsible for the overall marketing, sales and service delivery here.
