LONDON, UK — Based in India, Digital Experience Platform (DXP) services provider Tekno Point has joined London-headquartered digital agency DEPT. Tekno Point is the consecutive winner of the APAC Adobe Digital Experience Emerging Partner of the Year for 2021 and 2022, and its 500-strong team of Adobe specialists will accelerate DEPT’s DXP service offering for its global client base.
Founded in 2000 by brothers Himanshu and Yash Mody, Tekno Point has had a singular focus on Adobe DXP, offering an in-depth understanding of the technology across several industries for clients including IDFC Bank, Tata Capital, Bajaj Allianz, Asian Paints, Rosewood Hotels, and Tata AIA.
“Tekno Point’s proven Experience Engineering approach combined with deep Adobe DX expertise empowers enterprise customers to realize faster time-to-market and deliver hyper-personalized experiences across channels,” said Tekno Point Founder and CEO Himanshu Mody. “We’re thrilled to join forces and continue the growth globally with DEPT, to support our combined mission to pioneer the world’s best digital experiences.”
Adobe Partner Sales APAC Senior Director Philip Cronin shared, “We are very much looking forward to working very closely with Himanshu, Tekno Point and the team from DEPT to drive even more success in the region.”
Founded in Amsterdam in 2015, DEPT has quickly grown across the globe, from 150 people in the Netherlands to over 4,000 people in 17 countries across five continents, hitting approximately $500 million in revenue in 2022. The Certified B Corporation is known for delivering pioneering work for brands like Google, Philips, Patagonia, eBay, H&M, and Twitch, and became the most awarded agency at the Webby Awards and Lovie Awards last year.
“India holds enormous potential as a domestic market and is host to a truly world-class talent pool. Our culture is ‘big enough to cope, small enough to care’, and we felt that same connection with Tekno Point when working together on several European and US clients,” said Dimi Albers, CEO of DEPT. “With growing global demand for Adobe DX capabilities, Tekno Point is ideally placed to help us pioneer with Adobe technology, and we’re excited to grow their business into a global service offering.”
DEPT expanded to Asia Pacific a year ago, headed by former Havas Group regional CEO Vishnu Mohan. Tekno Point marks the second team to join DEPT in APAC after Australian digital product studio Two Bulls joined forces with DEPT in September 2022, making the APAC team over 700 people strong.
“Tekno Point is just the beginning of our journey in India. DEPT brings an unrivaled depth of experience in the global creative tech industries to the Indian subcontinent, which we can not wait to share with partners here,” said Vishnu.
Now part of DEPT, Tekno Point will be rebranded as Tekno Point/DEPT and continue to operate under the leadership of Founder and CEO Himanshu Mody, Founder and CEO, and CTO Yash Mody.
