A Partnership Rooted in More Than Business
Maor Kotler, the entrepreneur and creative mind behind WeAreGentl, a European clothing brand, Developed & Maintained with Code and Core since the early days of his venture. For over 12 years, the two sides collaborated remotely, sharing visions across time zones, brainstorming through screens, and building a business relationship that quietly evolved into something much deeper: genuine friendship.
Yet for all that time, they had never met in person.
When Maor finally made the journey to Ahmedabad, the occasion became far more than a routine client visit. It marked the physical beginning of what had already been a long, trust-filled chapter.
Mayur Soni, Founder and CEO of Code and Core, described the significance of the moment: “Maor has been more than a client to us. He has been a constant supporter, collaborator, and a true friend. Over the past 12 years, we have grown together, faced challenges, and celebrated successes as one extended team.”

India Welcomes the World – With Color and Culture
The visit unfolded during one of India’s most celebratory seasons, with the team coming together around Holi, the festival of colors. International guests were welcomed into the festivities, turning what might have been a standard corporate agenda into a vivid cultural experience that few business meetings can claim.
True to the spirit of Atithi Devo Bhava the Indian philosophy that treats a guest as divine – Code and Core organized a traditional welcome. International visitors embraced Indian attire, a gesture that reflected mutual respect and genuine curiosity rather than mere formality.
An Office Transformed: The Guitar Session Nobody Saw Coming from Maor
Among the most memorable moments of the visit was one that no one had scheduled. At some point during the gathering, Maor picked up a guitar. The conversations paused. The office – typically a space of code reviews and client calls – transformed into something that felt closer to a concert hall or a meditation retreat. For a few quiet minutes, the music filled the room and the team simply listened.
Maor later explained what music means to him: a way to decelerate in a world that rarely stops moving, a practice of presence in an age of perpetual distraction. It was a window into his personal philosophy that the quality of attention we bring to small moments determines the quality of everything else.
Design, Depth, and the Facts Behind the Logo of Code and core
Rather than walking through a presentation deck, Maor led the team through something more engaging – a dialogue about design thinking, creative philosophy, and what truly distinguishes meaningful work from merely functional output.
He shared how he had spent over an hour with Mayur Soni, working to understand the personality, energy, and ambition of Code and Core before putting pen to paper on the company’s logo. He wanted to understand what the brand should communicate before deciding how it should look.
He also spoke about life beyond the studio: his experience in Barcelona, his thoughts on balancing ambition with presence, and what he would say to young developers and designers at the start of their careers. His comparisons between Indian and European food drew laughs, and his message about gratitude drew something quieter – a kind of recognition.
Trust That Works at 2:30 AM
For Maor, the relationship with Code and Core has never been transactional. In reflecting on what this partnership has meant to him, he pointed to a quality that is difficult to manufacture: ownership.
“I trust Code and Core as they don’t just complete my tasks, they anticipate problems, suggest smarter solutions, and guide me on every project in the right direction,” Maor shared. “They treat my business like their own, approaching every challenge with ownership and care. Seeing them handle everything so calmly and efficiently, even at 2:30 AM, really stayed with me. That’s when you understand what real trust means.”
That trust, he added, is what makes him confident about deepening the partnership going forward – especially exploring what artificial intelligence can do for their respective industries, as explored in AI for Web Development and Businesses.
The AI Chapter: What’s Next for Code and Core
The visit also served as a forum for forward-looking conversations. Code and Core have been actively investing in artificial intelligence, with several AI-powered products already live in the market. The company is now preparing to launch a new solution focused on helping global businesses drive direct sales – a significant step that reflects its evolution from service provider to product innovator.
These conversations align with the broader national vision championed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi under the Make in India initiative – positioning Indian technology companies not just as capable executors, but as originators of global solutions. – Ahmedabad, Gujarat
Beyond One Company: A Signal for Indian Tech
What Code and Core’s story represents is more than the success of a single firm. It is a proof point for what Indian technology partnerships, built over years of consistent delivery and genuine care, can achieve on a global stage.
The image of a European entrepreneur playing guitar in an Ahmedabad office, surrounded by a team that has worked with him for over a decade across thousands of miles, is not a corporate milestone. It is something rarer – a human one.
And in an industry often defined by its speed, its churn, and its tendency to treat relationships as resources, that might be the most compelling thing of all.
