Presentations and PowerPoint are synonymous with pitches, meetings, and business communications these days. Over the years we have seen a gradual rise of a specialized design agency focusing on PowerPoint presentation designs. Unlike generic graphics design agencies, presentation design companies require a unique combination of skill sets such as; business consultants, marketers, visualizers, copywriters, storytellers, designers, and animators. Together these skill sets make a great presentation design agency.
Although most of the presentations are usually created in-house due to the importance of presentation design for impactful pitches, companies are looking forward to outsourcing their presentation design to external agencies who specialize in making their presentations not only look good but also communicate clearly and leave an impact.
I have analyzed more than 100 presentation design agencies globally and created a framework to rate these agencies primarily based on the quality of their design portfolio, clientele, pricing, and overall experience. Here’s a list of the top presentation design agencies from India in 2023.
Based on my analysis, I have created the following comparison chart for your ease of reading. Have a look:
PresentationGFX is one of the first and most experienced presentation design agencies in India. Incepted in the year 2008, PresentationGFX has been leading the presentation design sector for more than a decade. They have catered to more than 1800 clients across all major industries, including some of the biggest names in the industry. Apart from presentations, they also provide infographics design, animations, digital design, web design, etc.
Design Quality: Excellent ( I have become their fan. Their design and service quality are simply outstanding. No doubt they are the chosen partners of some of the biggest companies worldwide.)
Portfolio: Excellent (They have one of the most vibrant and creative portfolios I have come across. They showcase different formats of designs in a comprehensive portfolio of more than 100 projects. The portfolio itself is an inspiration for presentation designs. You can view their portfolio at: https://www.presentationgfx.com/portfolio/)
Pricing: Competitive (Ranges from $10 to $30 per slide. They offer different levels of presentation designs, right from formatting to advanced creative presentations. They offer per slide-based rates which is extremely suitable for clients.)
Clientele: More than 32,000 projects and 1800+ clients globally including Microsoft, Oracle, EY, Samsung, Airbus, Dominos, L&T, DHL, Cigna, Pfizer, Suzuki, Tata, ICICI, Kotak, Grasim, Mahindra, Schneider, Reliance, HDFC, and many more.
Delivery Time: Usually 2 days but they also provide rush jobs (24-hour turnaround). They also provide overnight and weekend support to their clients.
Overall Experience: I was really amazed by their professionalism and commitment to client support. Their designs are impeccable, their design team does offer a range of design treatments right from highly creative out-of-the-box kind of designs to infographics to data visualizations.
Pros: Excellent design and service quality, amazing portfolio, great clientele, competitive pricing, Weekend / Overnight support
Cons: They primarily focus on building relationships with client and doesn’t really have a lot of media coverage. That’s why I think it is a hidden gem amongst the presentation design agencies.
#2 Fully Decked Up
Fully Deckedup is another popular presentation design agency from India. Incepted in the year 2007, they are also one of the initial players in this sector. They specialize in Sales PPTs and other forms of presentation designs.
Design Quality: Good ( Their work is good for most requirements. Although their design showcase is limited to a handful of designs, the overall quality is decent.)
Portfolio: Good (They have showcased a very little amount of work on their portfolio. Some of them are good but overall the range of designs expected in a portfolio is limited.
Pricing: No information is available. Their email response was quite poor, as I never really received proper pricing from their end. (They offer different kinds of offerings like Repackaging, Makeover, and Touchup, which I found personally quite confusing.)
Clientele: No information is available on the number of clients but they have worked with some of the big names.
Delivery Time: 2 days (For most cases)
Overall Experience: Their digital presence is impeccable. They have showcased some nice designs but in a limited number. I found their responsiveness and service quality to be questionable. Overall I would rate them as good.
Pros: Decently experienced, Good Designs, decent turnaround, Excellent digital presence
Cons: No information on pricing, service quality, and responsiveness can be improved.
#3 Graphi Tales
Graphi Tales is another presentation design agency from India. Comparatively new compared to the above two, operational since 2015. They have served around 278 clients with some notable names to mention.
Design Quality: Good ( Some of their work is good, with some interesting work showcased in their portfolio but in my opinion, they lack the design range. Their work while it looks good, is similar to the templates available in the marketplace.)
Portfolio: Good (Showcased a limited amount of work on their portfolio. Some of them are good but overall designs were similar to templates. I wasn’t able to see any highly creative work in their portfolio.
Pricing: Competitive (Around $10 per slide. Not much information was available on their pricing but their rates are quite competitive.)
Clientele: Worked with 278 clients with some notable companies.
Delivery Time: No specific time frame is given and mostly depends on project to project.
Overall Experience: They are quite good in the competitive space. Although their work is quite limited. Overall I would give them a try for small projects.
Pros: Decent work, competitive rates
Cons: Comparative less experienced agency, no rush jobs or fixed timelines, limited design showcase
#4 PitchWorx
PitchWorx is a creative design agency from India with one of their services as presentation design. They have been in operation for about 10 years with more than 500 clients and a team of 50 members.
Design Quality: Good (Their work is quite good but given how they have showcased their work, mainly in form of mockups, makes it difficult to understand their true potential.)
Portfolio: Good (They have showcased quite a bit of their work in form of mockups. They look good but don’t give a detailed view on a slide-by-slide design, as a result, it is quite difficult to comment on their portfolio.)
Pricing: Expensive ($30 to $40 per slide. They are quite expensive compared to its competitors.)
Clientele: They have worked with 500 clients with some known names but I couldn’t see any large companies to validate their reach.
Delivery Time: No information was given and would depend on a project to project.
Overall Experience: In my opinion looking at their website and work, their main focus is on videos and animations while their presentation design services are ancillary to their offerings. So expecting them to be a specialist in that would not be the right thing to do.
Pros: Decently experienced, some portfolio is good
Cons: Expensive, low value for money, not a big clientele, no rush jobs or quick turnaround
#5 Visual Sculptors
Visual Sculptors is a team of designers with 10+ years of design experience having worked with large companies. They are based out of Chennai and specialize in presentation design and templates. They primarily work out of freelancing sites such as Upwork, so it is safe to assume that they work with individuals or small companies. Not much information is shared on their clientele and capabilities.
Visual Sculptures Website
Design Quality: Average ( Some of their work is good, but personally I felt their design range and capabilities are limited. Some of their work is pretty basic compared to others.)
Portfolio: Average (They have showcased a limited amount of work on their portfolio. Some of them are good but overall designs were basic and templated.
Pricing: Confusing ($25 per hour averaging 2 slides per hour. Their pricing was a little confusing to me. They work on hourly rates. So the project budget is variable and would depend on the scope. Might be a problem for most clients.)
Clientele: Worked on 5000 projects mostly on Upwork, a freelancing site. Not much information is available on their clientele.
Delivery Time: 3 to 5 days but they also provide rush jobs (24 to 48-hour turnaround).
Overall Experience: They are good if you are looking for average-level design work. Comparable to freelancers. Pricing is extremely confusing given the hourly rates. I would rate them as average.
Pros: Decently experienced, some portfolio is good
Cons: Average quality designs, confusing hourly rates, no information on clientele
