About Koda

What does Koda mean?

Koda is short for Kodagu Design Architects. Kodagu (Coorg) is where our roots are. The name also echoes "code", because we build as much as we design.

What is a go-to-market studio?

A team that takes a product or business from idea to first customers. Instead of hiring separate agencies for strategy, branding, website, content and ads, you work with one team and one plan.

Where is Koda based?

Our studio is in Bangalore (Bengaluru), Karnataka. We work with clients across India and remotely with clients abroad.

Who is behind Koda?

Koda is founder-led. Our founder has a background in animation and multimedia, a PGDM in marketing management, agency experience in content and video editing, and has built full-stack websites and an OTT video platform. See the team page for more.

Is Koda a registered business?

Yes. Koda is a brand of Carlo Ventures, an MSME-registered business.

Working together

How do we get started?

Tell us about your business on the contact page or WhatsApp. We reply within one working day, then set up a free 30-minute call to understand your goals before we send a proposal.

Will I have one point of contact?

Yes. You get one contact, one plan and one monthly report, no matter how many services you use.

Do you work with businesses outside Bangalore?

Yes. Strategy, branding, websites and marketing all work remotely. For shoots outside Bangalore, travel is quoted separately.

How do payments work?

Projects are usually split into milestones, starting with an advance. Monthly retainers are billed at the start of each month. We issue proper invoices from Carlo Ventures.

AI and quality

Do you use AI to make your work?

We use AI to research, draft and build faster, which lets us spend more time on thinking and craft. Every piece of work is directed, checked and finished by a person. Our AI at Koda page explains exactly how.

Will my content be original?

Yes. Brand identities, photos, videos and copy are made for you. We do not pass off AI output as finished work, and we check for accuracy and originality before anything ships.

Pricing

Why do you show "starting from" prices?

Because every business is different, but you deserve a realistic idea before you call. The final quote depends on scope, and we put it in writing before any work starts.

Is ad spend included in the Growth retainer?

No. Ad spend is paid directly to Meta or Google from your account. Our fee covers strategy, creative, management and reporting.

Are prices inclusive of GST?

Prices shown are exclusive of GST, which is added to invoices at the applicable rate.
