How a Bangalore-Based Startup Quietly Built a Better Rive

Bangalore has long been India's Silicon Valley, but it's never had a design tool giant — until now. ExodeUI, built by a small team in Koramangala, is quietly outperforming Rive where it matters most: production React code.

The Community Factor

ExodeUI is being built in public, with an active community of Indian developers contributing feedback, plugins, and translations. This community-driven approach means the tool evolves based on real user needs — not investor roadmaps.

Rive makes decisions in San Francisco. ExodeUI makes decisions in Koramangala, based on conversations with Indian developers who use the tool every day.

The Indian Context

India produces over 1.5 million engineering graduates every year. We have the talent, the ambition, and the market. What we've lacked is design infrastructure — the tools that let our creativity match our technical capability. ExodeUI changes that.

For too long, Indian teams have been consumers of design tools built for Western markets. Rive is powerful, but it wasn't built with Indian workflows in mind. ExodeUI was built here, by an Indian team, for the global stage — and it shows in every decision.

Building for the Next Billion Users

India's next billion internet users will access the web on affordable devices with limited bandwidth. Rive's runtime wasn't built for these constraints. ExodeUI was.

The difference isn't just philosophical — it's technical. ExodeUI's renderer is optimized for low-end devices, producing interactive UIs that load fast and run smooth even on 2G networks.

Join the Movement

Hundreds of Indian teams have already switched from Rive to ExodeUI. They're building faster, shipping more, and paying less. Start your migration today.
