Pixel Apex Labs · About

Three operators, one product company.

We started as an agency. We became a product studio. Here's who's building it.

The short version

We became a product company.

Pixel Apex Labs builds AI products that help Indian direct-to-consumer brands operate with clarity. We started as a digital marketing agency in Surat in 2023. Three years in, we saw the same problem in every founder we worked with — not a lack of attention, but a lack of operational intelligence. So we became a product company.

The vertical AI stack for D2C.

Start with treasury. Add marketing automation. Then operations, inventory, growth. The vertical AI stack for D2C, built by people who've lived inside it.

Let's build

Want to work with a team that gets the Indian D2C reality?

We're selective about who we take on — the bundle only works when both sides commit. Start with a conversation and we'll see if it's a fit.
