10+ Years Building. 17 Years Selling. 4 Years Proving It Works.
Upload video to public/videos/about-showreel.mp4
Most small businesses don't fail online because of bad luck. They fail because nobody gave them the right foundation. Between us we bring 10+ years of web development across real client projects, 17 years of sales and marketing in global banks, and four years of building a complete digital presence for a manufacturing business from scratch — before we ever took on a client. We know what works because we've done it. Not on paper. On a real business.
The road to Dovio
Mohit Poddar and Krupal Soni meet on the floor at HSBC. Two people who would spend the next 17 years in global banking — HSBC, Standard Chartered, Citibank, HDFC, Yes Bank — before eventually finding a better use for what they'd learned about how businesses actually sell.
Deepak Ujlayan starts building for the web professionally. Over the next several years he works across WordPress, Shopify, Laravel, React, PHP, Bootstrap, and CodeIgniter — building custom websites, CRMs, and CMS platforms for clients across industries. The stack grows. So does the standard.
By this point Deepak has built CRMs and custom platforms for multiple businesses. The recurring pattern: most clients take the first deliverable and move on. Deepak notices the difference between clients who accept good enough and those who push until something is actually right. He's still looking for the latter.
Deepak meets Mohit through a referral. Mohit has just joined the family stone manufacturing business in Rajasthan after 17 years in banking — with no digital knowledge and a WordPress site that wasn't doing the job. Deepak fixes the immediate problem. Then they keep going. The WordPress site gets scrapped. A full custom build on Laravel begins.
The site rebuild takes shape — custom product pages, industry calculators, schema markup, internal linking architecture. Vijayshree Poddar, with a Computer Science background and growing SEO expertise, joins the effort. Keyword research, intent analysis, and content strategy become part of the build — not afterthoughts bolted on at the end.
The site starts ranking. AI crawlers begin citing it for industry queries. Structured data, multilingual content, Google integrations, and WhatsApp automation are layered in. Every improvement is tested against a real business with real traffic — not a sandbox. The learning curve is steep and expensive. It's also irreplaceable.
Four years in, the question becomes obvious: why stop at one business? The problems Mohit and Deepak spent four years solving — poor site foundations, invisible SEO, no structured data, no content strategy — are exactly the problems every small business faces. Most just don't know where to start.
Dovio is founded. Deepak's development depth, Mohit's business and editorial thinking, Vijayshree's SEO and growth expertise, and Krupal's 17 years of understanding what customers actually want — brought together with one intent: to give small businesses the digital foundation they deserve, without the confusion and noise that usually comes with it.
Brands That Trust DViO
to Drive Their Digital Growth
We stay until it's right
Most agencies deliver and move on. We built our own client's digital presence over four years — iterating, fixing, rebuilding — because leaving something half-done isn't in our nature. When we take on a project, we treat it like it's our own business on the line. Because for four years, it was.
We work the way you need us to
We're a small team by design. That means when you brief us, you're talking to the person actually doing the work — not an account manager passing notes to someone you'll never meet. No handoffs, no chinese whispers, no junior teams running your project while the senior people are somewhere else.
How we work:
- Direct access to the person building your site or running your SEO
- Honest timelines — we'd rather tell you something takes longer than overpromise and underdeliver
- We explain what we're doing and why, so you understand your own digital presence
The people behind Dovio
Four co-founders with backgrounds across web development, banking, SEO, and sales. Different disciplines, one shared belief — that small businesses deserve a digital presence built to the same standard as anyone else's.

Frequently Asked Questions
We build websites and help businesses get found online. That covers everything from designing and developing a site from scratch, to SEO — making sure the right people can find you when they search. We also handle the things that sit alongside that: WhatsApp automation, social media setup, Google Business Profile, and content that ranks. Most of our clients come to us either with no website, or with one that isn't doing anything useful.
A website existing and a website being findable are two different things. Most sites that don't rank are missing one or more of the basics: no keyword strategy behind the content, no structured data for search engines to read, slow load times, poor mobile experience, or technical issues like duplicate pages and broken links. We start every SEO engagement with an honest audit — we tell you exactly what's wrong before we suggest fixing it.
Honestly, it depends on how competitive your industry is and the current state of your site. For most small businesses starting from a low base, you'll start seeing meaningful movement in three to six months. Some pages rank faster, some take longer. We won't promise page one in 30 days — anyone who does is either misleading you or planning to use tactics that get sites penalised. We focus on foundations that compound over time.
No. We work remotely and have built digital presence for businesses targeting international buyers — including export-facing manufacturers dealing with buyers in Korea, Russia, and the Middle East. If your customers are online, location doesn't matter. Most of our client communication happens over WhatsApp, email, and video calls.
Small and mid-sized businesses that are serious about getting their digital presence right — manufacturers, exporters, retailers, service businesses, and professionals. We're not the right fit for large enterprises with complex multi-agency setups. We work best with business owners who are directly involved in the decision-making and want to understand what we're doing and why.
We build primarily on Laravel for custom sites — which gives us full control over performance, SEO structure, and features like calculators, product configurators, and multilingual content. We also work with WordPress and Shopify where they're the right fit. We'll recommend the platform that suits your business, not the one that's easiest for us to build on.
One of the co-founders — not a junior team or a subcontractor. Deepak handles development, Vijayshree handles SEO and growth, and Mohit handles strategy and content. You'll know who is doing what from day one. We're a small team by design, and that's a feature, not a limitation.
Yes. Our most detailed case study is the Stone Galleria website — a Rajasthan-based natural stone manufacturer we built from scratch over four years. It's a live site you can visit at stonegalleria.in. We're transparent about what we built, what worked, and what took longer than expected. We'll share more detail on request.
