Cobold Digital LLP

Cobold Digital is a full-service digital firm based in India, founded by Himanshu Sukhwani to address what he saw as rampant low-quality cheap website work in the Indian market. The company operates with roughly 25–30 people across design, development, marketing, and operations roles. They work with over 100 global brands on everything from branding and web design to app development, digital marketing, and infrastructure management. The founding principle is straightforward: deliver work that matches a client's business goals and budget, without cutting corners.

Services and capabilities

Cobold offers a wide range of digital services organized into distinct categories. On the web side, they build responsive websites, WordPress and Drupal sites, headless CMS systems, and e-commerce platforms (WooCommerce, Magento). Mobile work includes React Native, Android, iOS, and Ionic apps, plus progressive web apps. For web applications, they use Laravel, PHP, Node.js/Express, Angular, and full-stack frameworks (MEVN, MERN, MEAN).

Design work spans UI/UX (research, wireframing, prototyping, proof-of-concept), app design for Android and iOS, and graphics (infographics, reports, brochures, packaging, posters). The branding and marketing bucket covers digital marketing retainers, brand identity systems, logo design, landing pages, PPC campaigns, and SEO.

Infrastructure and DevOps services include AWS and DigitalOcean management, server setup, scalable infrastructure design, database management, and testing/QA. They also handle website maintenance, domain registration, managed newsletter services, managed social media, and content writing. The team characterizes itself as good at solving "knotty problems that need out-of-the-box digital solutions."

Notable work

Cobold has shipped work for a range of organizations. NIFT CSSES involved building a web, mobile, and desktop app to digitize and standardize skill testing. Drishtee Foundation got a web and mobile app plus UI/UX design work; the resulting platform helped collect at least 20,000 records of beneficiaries, surveys, and local information, and is now used by 60 staff members across different conservation programs. Centre for Wildlife Studies received a web app and UI/UX design; Cobold's work improved website speed and SEO. Observer Research Foundation, Bala Janaagraha, and Motwane Manufacturing all received web app and UI/UX work. The Miri Market app involved web app design, mobile app design, and UI/UX. Aatmaya and The Sacred Being are e-commerce and spiritual wellness platforms built on Cobold's web design and development. On the design side, EdCast received brochure and report design. Vasundhra Jewellers, Healing Gardens, Technomentis, and MakeMyTrip received work ranging from social media management to website builds and employer branding.

How they work

Cobold positions itself as an extension of the client's team. Their approach involves understanding client needs, integrating into business plans, and focusing on customer delight rather than just delivering to the client. The company works with retainers (team extension), maintenance contracts, and project-based engagements. Pricing and specific engagement terms are handled during outreach; they emphasize on-time and on-budget delivery. Communication happens through a dedicated account and client servicing structure.
