Dubai's Branding & Web Design Agency — 26+ Years of Building Brands That Last
Founded in Dubai in 2006, Tequila was built on one belief — that a strong brand isn't a luxury, it's a business advantage. That belief has been tested across 350 projects and some of the region's most recognised names: Emaar, VARA, Burj Khalifa, Americana, Banque Misr. It holds. Today, we operate as a team of 18 strategists, designers, developers, and storytellers — and the conviction that got us here is still the engine.

Our Core Values
Values that drive us, and the partnerships we build.
Synergy
We're stronger together. Different skills, perspectives, and backgrounds converging into work that none of us could have built alone.
Integrity
We say what we mean and do what we say — with honesty, transparency, and accountability baked into every decision.
Empathy
We listen before we create. Understanding people — clients, their audiences, our team — is how we build things that actually resonate.
Why Us?
We’re a mindset, a method and a team that works differently. Here’s what sets us apart:
-
Business-Led, Not Just Design-Led
We start every project by understanding the business problem, not just the brief. Strategy is not a phase — it runs through everything we build.
-
Senior Minds, Sharper Outcomes
Focused teams led by senior experts ensure every project gets the thinking it deserves. No fluff, no filler.
-
Globally Inclined
Our team brings global perspective through lived experience — creating work that's sharp, relevant, and connected across cultures.
-
Trusted by Dubai's Leading Names
From VARA to Burj Khalifa to Americana — we've been the agency serious brands call when the brief matters.
-
Long-Term Partners, Not One-Off Vendors
9 in 10 clients return for their next project — the result of relationships built on outcomes, not contracts.
-
Agile, but Intentional
Fast is fine. But not at the cost of clarity. We work with precision, craft, and thoughtfulness.

Message from the CEO
The businesses that win aren't always the strongest. They're the ones people believe are the strongest.
The businesses that win aren't always the strongest. They're the ones people believe are the strongest.
Twenty-six years in brand and design teaches you one thing clearly: there's always a gap between what a business is worth and what the market thinks it's worth. That gap costs companies clients, contracts, and credibility every single day.
Closing that gap — deliberately, strategically, and permanently — is where Tequila operates. We've done it for 350+ companies. From government entities like VARA to landmark destinations like Burj Khalifa to global names like Emaar and Americana.
The work is different every time. The outcome is always the same: a brand that leads.
Meet the Team
A team of 18 strategists, designers, developers, and storytellers — based in Dubai and Globally, working across the UAE and beyond. Senior-led, collaboration-driven, and obsessed with craft.

Puneet Sakhuja
CEO & Creative Director
26 years. Category leaders. Burj Khalifa, Canon, Domino's, Nissan Middle East, VARA, DIFX. Puneet doesn't just build brands — he builds perception. He gets to the core of a business — its DNA, its edge — and shapes how the world sees it. At Tequila, he holds both the creative vision and the company's direction — making sure every brand that leaves the studio is built to be impossible to ignore.
-
Nam Dutt
Head of Strategy
Nam is the research-and-strategy mind behind Tequila's most complex brand work. She gets under the skin of a category — its audiences, competitors, and tensions — and turns what she finds into positioning that actually moves the needle. Designers and clients both lean on her for the same reason: clarity. She makes the hard problems solvable.
-
Ghada Farouk
Head of Operations
Ghada is where Tequila's quality bar gets enforced. She runs production across every active project — keeping timelines tight, standards high, and the work consistently on-brand for the studio. Her background blends operational discipline with a designer's eye, which is why nothing ships from Tequila without her fingerprints on it.
-
Amit Sharma
Strategic Advisor
Oxford-educated and battle-tested, Amit has led technology departments at some of the world's largest multinationals. He sits on Tequila's advisory board, where his blend of academic rigour and senior operating experience helps shape the agency's long-term direction — from how we scale to where we place our bets.

Why you would love to work at Tequila
-
1
Creative, Chill Environment
We take the work seriously — not ourselves. Our studio is built on creative freedom, good energy, and a culture where ideas flow without ego getting in the way.
-
2
Trust Over Timelines
We hire people we believe in, then let them do their thing. No micromanagement, no hand-holding — just clear goals and the autonomy to reach them your way.
-
3
Ideas Over Hierarchy
The best idea wins, regardless of who it comes from. Whether you're a junior designer or a senior strategist, your voice has weight here.
-
4
Quality Over Quick Fixes
We'd rather take the time to get it right than rush something out the door. Craftsmanship matters to us — in the work and in how we work.
-
5
Collaborative by Nature
We don't work in silos. Strategists, designers, developers, and storytellers share the same table — and that cross-pollination is where the best work happens.
-
6
People Before Processes
Systems exist to support people, not the other way around. We adapt, we listen, and we make sure the humans on our team always come first.
Join the Workforce
Always on the lookout for sharp minds who want to make bold things happen.
