Disclosure: turingLabs wrote this list and is one of the studios on it. Our entry follows the same template as the others, and it is not the strongest proof here. Facts were read on each studio's own site on Nov 10, 2026.
Short answer
Nine studios in India show design system work in a case study on their own sites: turingLabs, Canvs, Tcules, GeekyAnts, Krayo Design Studio, Aufait UX, Onething Design, UXReactor and Designit. We wanted ten. Only nine passed.
The main finding applies to all nine. We looked for a design system agency in India whose own site shows tokens in Figma, components in React and a Storybook, all for a client it names. We found none. Most pages mention a design system and name no stack. So use this as a list of who to call, and ask each studio to show you the code and the documentation, and not only the Figma file.
Which one fits depends on what you need:
- Most components shown: Canvs, with 100+ documented components for ICICI Bank.
- Closest to an engineering handoff: Tcules, whose case study names tokens and a shadcn base.
- Engineers on staff: GeekyAnts, whose site lists 350+ product engineers.
- Upkeep after launch: Aufait UX, whose service page covers how new components get added.
- A system built during a product redesign: turingLabs.

What a design system agency should deliver
A design system is the set of shared parts your product is built from, plus the rules for using them. When the same button looks five ways and each new feature ships slower than the last, those parts are missing. Whether a studio calls itself a design system consultancy or a component library agency, the work should leave you with five things.
- Tokens. Named values for colour, spacing and type that design and code both read.
- Components in code. Buttons, inputs and tables built in your front-end framework, for example React. With a Figma library alone, your engineers still rebuild each part by hand.
- Documentation. When to use each part, with examples. Many teams use Storybook, a tool that shows each coded component in a browser.
- A way to keep it alive. Who can add a component, who reviews it and how a change reaches the product. This is often called governance.
- Ownership after the studio leaves. The files and code in your accounts, and one named person on your team who approves changes.
On the nine sites below, no case study shows the second item, a component library in a framework such as React, for a named client.

How we chose
A studio had to pass two tests on its own website. It had to show an office in India, and it had to show design system work for a client in a case study, with some detail on what was delivered. A service page with no client did not count.
We looked for studios in cities across the south, west, north and east of India. None in Pune passed. Six of the nine have an office in Bengaluru, and our list of UI/UX design companies in Bangalore covers that city.
We graded the proof as strong, medium or thin. Strong meant a named client plus tokens, coded components and Storybook on the studio's own page. No studio reached it. The other eight here are medium, and our own entry is no stronger.
What we could not check: we did not see any studio's code, Figma files or documentation, and we did not speak to their clients.
The studios
Our own entry comes first because we wrote the list. The rest follow, with the most detailed pages near the top.
turingLabs
India and Dubai · Sprint, Embedded and Fractional Design Head engagements
turingLabs works with product teams at Series A and B software companies, mostly where the product is hard: financial planning, procurement, fraud and risk. Two of our case studies mention design system work, and neither goes into detail.
- Design system work shown: Drivetrain, where the case study says we handled the whole redesign, the design system included, over about a year, with shared components such as navigation and headers first. Spendflo, where the co-founder says we "built a design system we actually stick to".
- Stack named on its site: not stated on its site. Neither case study names tokens, a Figma library, React or Storybook.
- Less suited to: teams that need the whole product built by their design partner.
Canvs
Mumbai and Bengaluru · interface design studio
Canvs calls itself an interface design studio and says it has been around since 2016. Its ICICI Bank case study lists more components than any other page we read.
- Design system work shown: ICICI Bank, 2023 to 2024. The case study describes more than 100 documented components for web and mobile, colour and type foundations, a responsive grid, icon sets and card designs for the bank's credit cards.
- Stack named on its site: not stated on its site for the ICICI work. The homepage describes Omni, an in-house tool for creating design tokens, and does not tie it to this project.
- Less suited to: buyers who want proof of coded components. Its services page lists engineering, but the ICICI case study shows design work only.
Tcules
Ahmedabad · digital product design studio · Clutch 4.8 on its site
Tcules says it is a digital product design studio in Ahmedabad, founded in 2017. Its case study for Phoenix, an on-chain crypto exchange built by Ellipsis Labs, says the design system was made for engineers to build from.
- Design system work shown: trading screens for Phoenix, handed off in January 2026. The case study describes a component system and one source file for the build team, documented variants, and theme colours turned into tokens.
- Stack named on its site: tokens, with shadcn, an open-source component library, as the base. The Phoenix page does not name Figma, React or Storybook. Its design system service pages, with no client named, offer components in Figma and React, documented in Storybook.
- Less suited to: buyers who want proof of a coded library built for a named client. The Phoenix page says Tcules did not own the codebase.
GeekyAnts
Bengaluru, London and San Francisco · digital product engineering and consulting · 350+ product engineers
GeekyAnts has its India office in Bengaluru. It is the only studio here whose pages gave us a count of engineers.
- Design system work shown: Pepperfry, the furniture and home decor store. The case study says GeekyAnts defined the colour, layout, typography and icons, and built patterns that let designers assemble layouts by swapping components. It reports 300+ design hours saved, by the studio's own count.
- Stack named on its site: Figma and Adobe Illustrator on the Pepperfry page. A service page with no client named describes design tokens and Figma-to-code workflows.
- Less suited to: buyers who want proof of coded components for a named client. The Pepperfry page names design tools only.
Krayo Design Studio
Bengaluru · UI/UX and digital product design agency · part of ExaThought Technology Consulting
Krayo is the design studio of ExaThought Technology Consulting, with its India office in Indiranagar, Bengaluru.
- Design system work shown: its own group's products. The case study is marked as built for ExaThought products, so the client is the parent company and not an outside buyer. It lists 80+ design tokens, 12+ reusable components and centralised documentation.
- Stack named on its site: Figma only, shown as an icon and a profile link in the footer.
- Less suited to: buyers who want a reference from an outside client. Its own site shows no design system case for one.
Aufait UX
Bengaluru and Calicut · UI UX design agency
Aufait UX has a design system service page that goes further into upkeep than most we read. It lists a UI inventory and a process for requesting, reviewing and adding new components.
- Design system work shown: Parul University. The case study describes reusable components and templates for WordPress, so the university's team can update pages such as course details itself.
- Stack named on its site: WordPress, on the Parul page. Figma, tokens, React and Storybook are not on that page.
- Less suited to: teams that want proof from a software product. The one named design system client is a university website.
Onething Design
Gurugram, Bengaluru and San Francisco · branding and UI UX design agency
Onething does branding, product UX and customer experience. Its design system service page covers an audit, foundations, a component system and Figma libraries.
- Design system work shown: Royal Enfield and Prescinto, an IBM company. On the Royal Enfield page a client quote says the work was united by a design system, and the process lists a tokenised design system as a step with no description. The Prescinto page says its design system covers colours, fonts and icons.
- Stack named on its site: not stated on its site for either project. The service page mentions Figma libraries.
- Less suited to: teams that need coded components or Storybook. Neither is on its design system page.
UXReactor
Hyderabad office, headquarters in California · UX design and research firm · team of 60+
UXReactor is headquartered in Pleasanton, California, with an office in Hyderabad. Its Tekion case study says the work began in 2017 with a single software module.
- Design system work shown: Tekion. The case study says UXReactor defined the style guide and brought the designs under one design system, which became the single reference for designers and developers.
- Stack named on its site: not stated on its site.
- Less suited to: teams that want a studio run from India. The style guide is also the only concrete deliverable the page names.
Designit
Noida · product design studio launched in 2026
Designit is a Noida studio. Its site says it is independent and has no link to the Wipro-owned design firm of the same name. Its homepage says it launched in 2026, so its record is short.
- Design system work shown: R-Centric (Omniyat), seven luxury property developments in Dubai on one shared system. The case study lists a design system among the deliverables, with shared components, navigation and enquiry flows. Its Kelp Global case puts three connected products for investment teams on one shared design system.
- Stack named on its site: Figma and Webflow. Its service page, with no client named, also mentions tokens and governance.
- Less suited to: buyers who want proof of coded components. Its case studies name Figma and Webflow, not React or Storybook.
Also looked at
Five more came close. Parallel's service page names token management, Figma libraries and Storybook, and its site shows design system work for Juspay. Its contact page gives one address, in San Mateo in the US. The page's search summary says Austin and Bangalore, but no Indian address appears. Zymr lists Bengaluru, Ahmedabad and Pune, and one case study names React, Storybook and design tokens, but not the client. UniKwan (Fastrack), Octet Design Studio (Kantime) and Yellow Slice (Croma and MMT) each name a client in one line or label, with no detail on what was delivered.
FAQ
Which design system agency in India builds in React and Storybook?
None of the nine shows both for a named client on its own site. Tcules comes closest: its service pages offer React components documented in Storybook, and its Phoenix case study names tokens and shadcn. GeekyAnts describes Figma-to-code workflows on a service page with no client. Ask for a repository or a live Storybook link before you sign.
How long do design system services take?
Designit's design system page gives ten to twelve weeks for a full system. Parallel's gives six to twelve weeks, in weekly cycles. Our redesign of Drivetrain, design system included, ran for about a year in two phases.
What does a design system cost in India?
We did not find a price of their own for design system work on the other eight studios' sites. For reference, turingLabs starts at USD 5000 for a sprint and USD 4000 a month for an embedded senior designer. Our guide to what B2B SaaS product design costs has more.
Who owns the design system after the agency leaves?
You should. Agree before the work starts that the Figma files, the tokens and the code sit in your accounts. Aufait UX's service page describes a process for adding components, and Parallel's offers retainers for upkeep. Ask what your studio's version is.
What should we ask a design system consultancy before signing?
Ask to see one client's components in code, and the documentation that goes with them. Ask who on the studio's team writes that code. Ask how changes were handled after launch, and what you own when the contract ends.
Need a design system your engineers will use?
Send us the screens in your product that match least. We will tell you whether you need a full design system, a smaller clean-up or a different studio from this list. Book a call.
