The challenge
The business problem
Maa ilay makes authentic, chemical-free Tamil sweets and millet-based snacks from Pondicherry. They needed an online storefront that carried the warmth of a heritage food brand while running like a modern D2C e-commerce engine - including international shipping and festive-season order spikes.
The approach
How the work was planned
We built a Shopify-based storefront with a fully custom front-end designed around the brand's farm-to-table identity. Not a theme with the logo swapped - a custom design with product architecture, merchandising flows, and a mobile-first experience tuned for Indian D2C traffic patterns.
The solution
What shipped
A storefront covering Sweets, Savouries, Snacks, and Combos with bundling logic and variant pricing. International shipping across 25+ countries with currency-aware checkout. Custom collections, trending merchandising, storytelling layouts for launch weeks, and payment and fulfilment workflows wired end-to-end.
