imaga

imaga is a digital product studio headquartered at Meydan in Dubai, operating as Imaga LLC-FZ. It was founded in 2018 and is led by its chief executive, Dmitri Alex. Beyond Dubai, the company lists offices in San Mateo, California and Porto, Portugal.

Its pitch is aimed at teams that care about user experience as much as the technology. The studio builds AI-enabled digital products: marketplaces, ecommerce platforms, banking apps, smart assistants and workflow automation. It covers the whole path from discovery, with UX design and business analysis, through software development, AI integration and QA, and also offers DevOps and information security work.

On Clutch, imaga splits its work fairly evenly across AI development, ecommerce development, web development, custom software, mobile apps and AI consulting. Retail and ecommerce make up the largest share of its clients, followed by automotive, financial services, food and beverage and real estate.

Its published portfolio includes work for Mercedes-Benz, automotive marketplaces and AI-powered applications, along with case studies such as a leak detection system, a flight risk assessment platform and a pet care product. The studio lists a minimum project size of 10,000 US dollars and hourly rates in the 25 to 49 dollar band.

imaga is a small team, so it fits companies that want a single accountable group to design and build a product end to end. Organisations that need a large engineering bench or round-the-clock managed services should look at bigger providers.
