Folios.in was built because India's design talent deserved a platform of its own — not a filtered version of a global product, but a home built for Indian designers, Indian companies, and the Indian design community.
Create your folio →Indian designers have always been world-class. But for too long, the platforms they used were built for someone else — someone in San Francisco, London, or New York.
Folios.in exists to change that. We built a platform that understands ₹ instead of $, Bangalore instead of Bay Area, and a design industry that's growing faster than anywhere else on earth.
From fresh graduates in Pune to principal designers in Bangalore — every Indian designer deserves a place to be seen, hired, and celebrated.
The principles that guide every decision we make at Folios.in
Built specifically for the Indian market — rupees, Indian cities, Indian hiring culture. Not an afterthought.
We'd rather have fewer, better designers and projects than flood the platform with noise. Standards matter.
Every designer can build a beautiful portfolio and get discovered for free. Always. No tricks, no paywalls on basics.
Built with and for the design community. We listen, we iterate, and we build features designers actually need.
Get your portfolio live in minutes. No complicated setup, no technical skills needed, no bloat.
We're not just a portfolio host — we want every designer who joins to grow their career and income.
From a simple idea to India's largest design portfolio platform
Frustrated with global platforms that didn't understand the Indian design market, we started building Folios.in in a small apartment in Bangalore.
Launched to the public. First 1,000 designers joined in the first month. The Indian design community showed up with overwhelming support.
Launched the Jobs board and Blog. Companies started using Folios to hire designers directly. Hit 5,000 designers milestone.
Crossed 10,000 designers and 50,000 projects. Became the go-to platform for design hiring across India's top startups.
12,000+ designers and growing every day. More features, more cities, more opportunities for Indian design talent.
From metro cities to tier-2 towns, Indian designers everywhere are building careers on Folios.in. Great design isn't limited to Bangalore or Mumbai — it's happening everywhere.
We're proud to represent the full breadth of India's design talent.
It's free to join and always will be. Your next opportunity starts here.
