About Xark

We Build Growth
Systems.

Xark Tech is a growth infrastructure studio for e-commerce and DTC brands. We design and deploy AI automation, affiliate programs, shoppable video commerce, and CRO systems — so your team compounds revenue without scaling headcount.

We were founded on a simple insight: manual processes create missed opportunities. Growth needs infrastructure — automation, measurement, iteration. We don't stop at a one-time project; we build operating engines that compound.

Our Story

Built from the Ground Up.

2020

Founded in Singapore on a simple insight: manual processes create missed opportunities. Growth needs infrastructure — automation, measurement, iteration.

First 10 clients across e-commerce and SaaS. Expanded team to 8 specialists. First affiliate program architecture scaled to $1M+ GMV.

2022

Launched the Xark Automation Lab — a proprietary framework for workflow mapping and ROI prioritization across 200+ automations deployed.

2023

Expanded into shoppable video and CRO. Active in Singapore, New York, and London. First client to hit 80% response time reduction via AI support automation.

2024

50+ growth systems deployed. $15M+ in client affiliate GMV managed. Conversion lift of 33%+ achieved across CRO client portfolio.
