Centre Source

Centre Source is a Kochi-based digital agency founded in 2018 by Faraez Khan (CEO), Nishad Nazar (COO), Nizar Anand (CTO), and Seetha Lakshmi (CFO). The team works across branding, web and app development, and performance marketing. They've completed 125 projects for over 160 clients, ranging from tech startups to Fortune 500 companies and federal agencies. The firm won a Bronze at Pepper Awards 2023 for branding work on Berry & Co, a Payyannur-based patisserie.

Services and capabilities

Centre Source offers three main service lines: branding and design, web and app development, and performance marketing. Their branding work spans brand strategy and identity creation from scratch. Development covers website build (they mention Shopify specifically in blog content) and mobile applications built with Node.js and other frameworks. On the marketing side, they handle social media strategy, SEO, and digital campaigns with measurable KPI tracking.

Their case work shows concrete results. For Eurotech Maritime Academy, a website redesign using Node.js delivered a 30% increase in online course inquiries, 25% improvement in student satisfaction, and 20% reduction in bounce rate over a four-month engagement. For another client, they increased contact form submissions by 2,720%. Westford Education Group's website was optimized for Google rankings. They also handled social media lead generation for 42 Estates, described as an award-winning realtor, and digitization projects for retail and hospitality operators.
