At Sapta, we provided a collaborative experience to co-create high-impact solutions for businesses and society. We applied design thinking methodologies for effective problem solving for our customers. Some of our efforts have earned us recognition in publications and a few awards. We are a gold award winner at VM&RD (retail) and BigBang (web) and have featured among the best suppliers for design in retail.

As firm believers of - it is not what you do, but how you do - we worked across multiple scales and industry types such as education, healthcare, retail sales, consultants, technology services, etc.
