You mean results. So do we.
Everything that we do is focussed on delivering tangible results to our partners month on month. If there's any process, step or method we use that doesn't add direct value to the product and its results, we wouldn't do it - even if it's regarded as a 'standard industry practise'. For us, innovation is about being ever critical of the methods we use.
We created a modular product eco-system for an emerging ed-tech giant
Running on a super tight timeline and an elevated need to deliver, we collaborated with Ken42 to strategise & design their suite of products as a part of their unified education management platform.

Case study coming soon
Metastate had a very clear product mindset

Cut the agency slack
We are everything an agency is not. Questioning and challenging existing processes is a part of our DNA, and we never do something just because it's an "industry standard". We are fast, innovative and cut to the chase quickly. No wasteful work, no weeks of mundane research and end of the cycle delivery. We employ structured and intense sprints to deliver tangible results week on week. Period.
No wasteful work
As a team, we avoid busy & wasteful work which doesn't add tangible value to the product direction. Every human hour that goes into the project has direct & measurable impact on its overall execution. No more end of the cycle delivery & no more weeks of open ended research - just consistent week on week delivery.
We work fast - tangible results every week
We provide tangible assets for review and collaboration every week. All the steps we take, research we do and the elements we create emerge out of our key foundational principle to improve the product continuously.
Begin with test workshop
Sustainability is one of our core principles at Metastate. Before we sign off on any project, we do a 3 day intense workshop where we take a piece of the project and create a working prototype. This will act as a forum to discuss & gauge the team’s compatibility, mutual vision alignment and capability to handle the project.
No more end of the cycle feedback
Projects often get toppled owing to misplaced feedback sessions. For us, feedback is’t a step in the process, but rather the very foundation driving the execution. With feedback coming in every week, the teams are able to move fast, pivot faster and enjoy a higher level of control on the execution. This also reduces guesswork and the ‘anxiety before delivery’ which often plagues SaaS projects.
Engineering focussed
Products are built by engineering teams as much as by design. As a part of our process, we bring in the engineering team early in the product cycle to play a primary role in project direction, and also in laying foundation to accommodate parallel design & engineering roadmaps.

Few of our ongoing projects we are proud to be a part of
Helping an AI as a service brand to launch their version 1.0
Telling a more impactful visual story for a healthcare brand
We write once a week
Planning weeks on a project roadmap doesn't shield it from delays. Keeping the scope and roadmaps flexible, and limiting it to 2-3 week micro-goals is a great way to improve the speed, efficiency, and success rate of projects.
