QED42

QED42 is a digital experience company based in India with 18+ years of Drupal and JavaScript engineering across enterprises and mission-driven organizations. The team contributes heavily to open source—80% actively work on Drupal core, modules, and Drupal AI initiatives—and holds a Drupal Diamond Partner certification. They build platforms where scale, compliance, and long-term ownership matter: diabetes.org's multisite migration, the UN's global digital infrastructure across 58+ countries, Dr. Reddy's healthcare professional engagement platform, and Banyan Living's direct-booking hospitality system. Their Net Promoter Score sits at 4.85, and Clutch lists them as a top Drupal and AI consulting company.

Services and capabilities

QED42 organizes work into four core areas. Drupal Expertise covers enterprise CMS builds, migrations, and platform management. They lead the Drupal AI initiative's innovation workstream and deploy AI-assisted migration pipelines that claim 20–30% faster timelines and 40% faster code review cycles. They handle multisite governance, granular role-based access, complex approval workflows, and deep integrations with legacy systems. Staff augmentation brings senior engineers into client repositories and standups; they onboard to existing workflows and deploy AI-assisted delivery frameworks without disrupting sprint cadence.

JavaScript Engineering spans React, Next.js, Vue, React Native, and Node.js backends. Work includes headless and API-first architectures (Drupal, Strapi, or Contentful feeding Next.js and Nuxt frontends). Projects are tested against Core Web Vitals and Lighthouse; recent work audited above 80 on mobile. They build hybrid apps in React Native, Progressive Web Apps with offline capability, and have contributed 170+ commits to Strapi and Next.js. GenAI handles scaffolding and test generation; engineers validate outputs to prevent regressions.

User Experience Design starts with research and data, not briefs. They map user friction, build design systems, and handle branding across interfaces. A typical 12-week engagement runs through context & framing (weeks 1–2, user research and stakeholder input), structure & direction (weeks 3–5, wireframing with AI-assisted variation), design & definition (weeks 6–9, prototypes and systems), and review & continuity (weeks 10–12, implementation support and DesignOps setup). AI handles documentation and token preparation; humans make final calls.

AI Services focuses on RAG, agents, assistants, and fine-tuned models where they add measurable value. They start with a two-week proof of concept before full integration. Drupal AI Framework includes 30+ agents for content generation, SEO, editorial workflows, and content structure with human-in-the-loop controls. A recent blog notes they built a video RAG system "81% cheaper than industry standard."

Notable work

Diabetes.org underwent CMS migration and multisite setup, becoming "a faster, more accessible experience for millions." Banyan Living, an award-winning hospitality brand, built a direct-booking platform free from OTA commission through UX strategy and guest journey mapping. The UN consolidated fragmented systems across 58+ countries into Drupal and headless architecture with data visualization; the work took five years and is described as built "on trust and purpose."

Dr. Reddy's Laboratories expanded its reach to healthcare professionals with a personalized digital engagement platform using Drupal multisite and a unified design system. Global electrical enterprise (a Fortune 500 level manufacturer) consolidated 12 brand websites into one enterprise platform and reports "our segment leaders and shareholders have been very positive about the results." ILAO improved search accuracy, reduced repeat searches and bounce rates, and increased chatbot engagement, delivered on time with proactive problem-solving.

Clients quoted in Clutch reviews highlight speed—one product went "live across multiple geographies with strong stakeholder reception in almost three months"—and collaboration. Another noted "their ability to translate ideas into working features quickly, while bringing in what's actually working across the industry."

How they work

QED42 uses a three-phase process: Understand (technical debt, user needs, constraints before code), Build (architecture, design, engineering in cycles with continuous client sync), and Stay (post-launch support, performance tracking, platform evolution). JavaScript engagements start with a short pilot to test fit, then move to one of three models: dedicated pods, hybrid teams in existing sprints, or outcome-driven projects with agreed targets. Drupal work defaults to continuous client synchronization with no "disappearing acts." All delivery now runs through AI-assisted pipelines covering system audit, script development, content migration, UI generation, and QA. Pricing is not disclosed publicly. Post-launch includes continuous monitoring and performance tracking.
