Shopify Developer for Two Chennais.
There are two D2C Chennais, and we build for both. One is the heritage — the silk, saree and jewellery houses around T. Nagar, Pondy Bazaar and Mylapore taking a decades-old shop online for the first time. The other is the OMR IT corridor: founders shipping modern beauty, wellness and lifestyle brands from Sholinganallur and Perungudi. Both need a store that speaks Tamil and English, survives Aadi and Diwali traffic, and handles gold-rate, BIS and deep silk catalogs without breaking. Fixed-price, live in 3–4 weeks.
A store that fits how Chennai shops.
Chennai's retail runs on things a generic web agency doesn't plan for: gold rates that change daily, silk sarees with dozens of weave-and-border variants, a customer who often prefers to read and pay in Tamil, and a calendar where Aadi and Diwali decide the year. We build stores around those realities — a Razorpay checkout that clears high-value jewellery carts, Shiprocket routing that reaches tier-2 Tamil Nadu, and a bilingual storefront that actually converts a Madurai or Coimbatore buyer, not just a metro one.
Heritage retail, online at last
Decades-old T. Nagar and Mylapore shops brought online without losing what made them trusted. Catalog, story, checkout.
Tamil + English storefront
Bilingual product pages, checkout and WhatsApp updates. It lifts conversion for regional and tier-2 buyers.
Jewellery & silk depth
Daily gold-rate feeds, BIS hallmark per SKU, secure high-value checkout, and deep weave/border variant catalogs.
Festival-season ready
Aadi, Pongal, Navratri, Diwali. We build the drop calendar and load-tested checkout into the store from day one.
Made for silk, gold and the festival calendar
One city, two very different briefs.
Walk from T. Nagar to Sholinganallur and you cross two D2C economies. Around Ranganathan Street and Pondy Bazaar are the silk, saree and jewellery houses — family businesses with a real shop, a real reputation, and a customer who has bought from them for a generation. When they come online, the brief isn't "make it modern"; it's "don't lose the trust." That means a catalog that shows a Kanchipuram weave honestly, a jewellery checkout that quotes today's gold rate and BIS hallmark, and a Tamil-language path for the buyer who'd rather not shop in English.
Out on the OMR IT corridor — Perungudi, Sholinganallur, Taramani — the brief flips. These are software people building wellness, beauty and lifestyle brands, and they want speed, clean analytics and a headless path to grow into. Different customer, different stack conversation, same agency.
What ties both together is Chennai's calendar and geography. The Aadi discount month, Pongal, Navratri and Diwali carry most of the year's volume, so a store has to be load-tested for spikes, not patched during them. And a lot of demand sits outside the metro — Coimbatore, Madurai, Trichy, Salem — so courier routing and COD with OTP have to work for a tier-2 buyer, not just a Chennai pincode. We plan all of it into the build.
