Stixe: Where Creativity Sticks

A Name in the Making

What’s in a name? In the case of Stixe, it’s not about the dictionary meaning — because frankly, “Stixe” doesn’t officially mean anything... yet. And that’s exactly the point. Stixe is a blank canvas, a name being defined through action, creativity, and innovation every single day.

The name might remind you of the word “sticks” — and there’s some playful truth in that. Our ideas stick in people’s minds, our commitment sticks through every project, and we stick together as a team. In short, Stixe is becoming meaningful because of what we do, not due to any preset definition. That wordplay has become our mantra: Stixe sticks, we stick by our vision, and we help brands create experiences that stick with their audiences.

A Founder’s 15-Year Dream

Our founder, Mahantesh NG, spent 15 years nurturing a dream. Mahantesh longed to create a space where creativity isn’t just a buzzword, but a way of life — a space a class apart. He envisioned an agency where ideas could roam free and crazy concepts could become reality.

After honing his skills and understanding what makes creative teams thrive (and what holds them back), he finally decided it was time. Mahantesh took the leap and founded Stixe — the culmination of years of planning, passion, and a refusal to settle for the ordinary. His mission was to break the mold and prove that with the right team and culture, a company could let creativity flourish without limits.

Evolving from Marketing to Web Mastery

Stixe’s journey has been as dynamic as its name. We started out as a marketing agency, helping brands with advertising and campaigns. Soon, we evolved into a social media agency, riding the digital boom and crafting content that got people talking. But we didn’t stop there.

Through this evolution, we discovered our true strength: building websites and online brand experiences. Having a well-crafted online presence is where many small and medium businesses can really refine their brand perception and grow their revenue. We found we had a knack for blending design, content, and technology into websites that not only look great but also perform brilliantly for our clients. By focusing on web design and development, we’ve been able to help SMBs sharpen their brand identity and boost their bottom line.

Born in Bangalore, Built Globally

Bangalore’s skyline shines bright — a testament to its reputation as the “Silicon Valley of India”. It’s no wonder this city was chosen as the birthplace of Stixe. We planted our roots in Bangalore, drawing energy from its bustling startup culture and spirit of innovation.

But while Bangalore is home, Stixe’s spirit is borderless. We’ve always believed that talent and creativity know no geographic boundaries. Our team includes contributors from all over the world, each bringing their own flavor and perspective. Being founded in Bangalore gives us the advantage of India’s tech capital, while our international crew provides a truly worldwide outlook. In this blend of local chai and global mindset, Stixe has built a diverse family that proves great ideas can come from anywhere.

Ethos: Do More, Be More

If there’s one motto that drives us, it’s “Do More.” Doing just what’s expected is never enough — we believe in going the extra mile and then some. This ethos of pushing boundaries comes through in how we tackle projects (we always ask “how can we make this better?”).

It’s also reflected in our culture. We pride ourselves on being open and inclusive. Stixe is proudly LGBTQ+ friendly, and we welcome people from all walks of life because creativity thrives when everyone can be their true selves. Along with inclusivity, we keep a chill, do-what-you-want culture. That means we trust our people. Whether you’re most creative at midnight in pajamas or at a coffee shop on a sunny afternoon, we say go for it — no stiff corporate rules or one-size-fits-all schedules here. The result is a workplace that feels less like work and more like a group of friends united by a common passion.

This laid-back vibe doesn’t mean we aren’t serious about results. In fact, it fuels our ability to do more because everyone’s comfortable being their best selves.

A Living, Breathing Creative Entity

Walk into a Stixe brainstorming session and you might see a table covered in sticky notes and sketches. That’s because we approach every challenge with a design thinking mindset — lots of ideas, open collaboration, and a willingness to try new things. In many ways, Stixe behaves less like a static company and more like a living, breathing being. We’re always learning, adapting, and growing. Each project we take on teaches us something new and adds a fresh dimension to what “Stixe” means. We often say the company has a life of its own, constantly evolving.

One day we might experiment with an interactive 3D web feature; the next day we’re refining our process based on client feedback. This perpetual evolution isn’t an accident — it’s built into our DNA. We encourage every team member to question the usual way of doing things and propose wild ideas. We embrace change and we’re not afraid to pivot when something isn’t working, because Stixe thrives on innovation.

Merging Tech and Design

In the Stixe universe, cutting-edge technology and creative design aren’t separate — they’re partners in crime. We believe in the magic that happens when tech meets design. Our team is just as likely to geek out over a new JavaScript framework as to debate the latest design trends. This blend is evident in our work: we build websites and digital solutions that are as technically robust as they are visually engaging. Whether it’s implementing a sleek new animation or optimizing a page for speed, we marry form and function with care. We stay on the cutting edge of tech, but always pair it with a human-centric, design-driven approach. After all, fancy technology is pointless if it doesn’t deliver a great user experience or tell a compelling story.

From concept to execution, our designers and engineers work hand-in-hand, inspiring each other to push limits. This collaborative dance between creativity and technology is Stixe’s sweet spot — it’s where innovation becomes tangible.

The Journey Continues...

Stixe is, and always will be, a work in progress — and we love it that way. We’ve come a long way from that initial spark in our founder’s mind, but there’s so much more to explore, create, and define. In the future, Stixe might take on new ventures, embrace emerging technologies, or redefine what a creative agency can be.

One thing’s for sure: we’ll continue to live by the ethos that got us here — pushing boundaries, staying inclusive, and always doing more. So if you ask us what “Stixe” means right now, we’d say its meaning grows with every passing day. And if you stick around (pun intended), you’ll see that meaning expand in ways we haven’t even imagined yet. We’re excited about the road ahead, and we invite you to be part of this evolving story.
