Kutung Design Labs : Designers of User-Centric and Task Oriented Interface

By

In this fast paced world, more and more consumers are opting for the digital platform to avail various services. Thus, a webpage or a mobile app is increasingly becoming the meeting point between the company and the potential customer.This interaction will result in a business transaction only if the potential customer experiences a rich and user friendly interface. Anything lesser this will lead to the loss of the customer. With the growing recognition of this need, organisations are now reaching out to UI/UX solution providers to enhance customer experience. Thus, this market sector is exploding. At the receiving end of this market explosion is Kutung Design Labs(www.kutung.com), a leading UI/UX solution provider.

Providing insight into the market, the founder and CEO of the firm, Yagna Raman says of the challenges of this fast emerging market, “As UX becomes mainstream there are a lot of IT vendors getting into the picture, sometimes providing UX services that are more jargon than actual end-user benefit. This dilutes the impact of user-focused approach and poses the danger of making this segment a ‘nice-to-have’ and not necessarily a functional benefit.”. The CEO delineates that Kutung doesn’t sell nor do they push clients to investing more than required. This immediately bags the client’s trust. Working with the philosophy of Simplify>Amplify, Kutung emphasises on the importance of understanding the client’s needs before articulating their business strategy and providing clients the consultancy to make tough calls that eventually benefit them.
