Shopify agency for Kolkata brands
Shopify stores for Kolkata’s handloom, tea, sweets and craft brands, ready for Durga Puja peaks and Bengali customers around the world.
Shopify development and growth for Kolkata brands
Kolkata has a rich cultural and trading history, from its role in the tea trade to its handloom traditions of Tant, Jamdani and Baluchari sarees. The city is also known for its sweets, literature and crafts. Durga Puja is the biggest shopping season of the year, when demand for new clothes, gifts and food rises sharply. Local brands need stores that tell these stories well and reach Bengali families across India and overseas.
Kolkata brands work with our India-based team remotely, in IST, which keeps planning simple in the busy weeks before Puja when every day counts. Common projects include stores for handloom and saree brands, tea brands with subscription and gifting options, festive campaign planning for Durga Puja and Diwali, and international shipping for Bengali diaspora customers.
What Kolkata brands need from their store
Handloom storytelling
Handloom buyers care about the weave, the region and the weaver. We build product pages and collection stories that explain these details, with imagery that shows texture and drape, helping justify handmade pricing.
Tea brands and gifting
Kolkata has long been a hub for India’s tea trade. Tea brands do well with tasting sets, gift boxes and subscriptions, which we set up alongside brewing guides and origin information for each blend.
Durga Puja season
Puja shopping starts weeks before the festival. We help plan collection launches, stock levels and Meta campaigns early, and make sure the store and courier setup can handle the surge in orders.

Frequently asked questions
How early should we prepare for Durga Puja sales?
Ideally two to three months ahead. That allows time to photograph new collections, build landing pages, plan offers, warm up ad audiences and confirm courier capacity. We work backwards from your launch date and agree a clear timeline with you.
Can you set up tea subscriptions?
Yes. We use a subscription app to offer monthly or custom-interval deliveries, with options to swap blends, skip a month or pause. Customers manage this through their account, which reduces manual work for your team.
Are you based in Kolkata?
Our team is India-based and works remotely, without an office in Kolkata. We serve brands there through video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards in IST, so you can reach us easily during working hours.
