Migrating content to a Drupal site is usually a painless experience because Drupal is quite well structured. Even if we were to move the content from non-Drupal database to Drupal database without the help of any API or migrating services, all that is required is to understand the database structures of both sites and then write a series of SQL queries that copies the content from any non-Drupal database to Drupal database; which can be done by any above average Drupal developer.

The term ‘Migrate’ in the context of Drupal means re-creating the content and configuration of a source site (usually Drupal 6 or Drupal 7) in a new Drupal 8 installation. In earlier versions of Drupal, the common practice was to provide an upgrade path. i.e., update the code to the latest version and then upgrade the database structure according to the code. Once it is done, the content is updated separately.

Come 24 February 2016 and Drupal 6 will reach its end-of-life and will no longer have active community support. The newly-launched Drupal 8 and Drupal 7 will be the community’s focus and Drupal 6 will not receive security updates which are so important for the functioning of a website.

In one of my recent project I had a task to create a content type with a select list field of all image styles. But how can we get all image styles in Drupal? In Drupal there is an option to create different image styles using a module 'image'.

Image module also gives an image_styles() function that can be used to get all image styles and their settings.

Finding the best of anything is always a tricky question especially if you are likely to have a bias in the decision and the decision is a subjective one. So we are not going to try to answer the question about which is the best Drupal company in India. Instead we can easily list out three of the oldest Drupal companies in India and let you make a call on which of these suites your requirements best. I have to add a disclaimer that we are the second oldest exclusive Drupal company in India.

One thing we have to keep in mind when asking around for the largest Drupal company in India is that we are only looking at exclusive Drupal companies. There are several aspects that we have to be aware of before we set out to list these Drupal companies.

If you had asked for the best Drupal company in India then the answer would have been a lot more difficult than the one to this question. This is a straightforward question and does not have to depend on subjective opinions and biases or the authors of this article. Drupal is fast growing into one of the most popular enterprise CMSes out there and every other vendor is trying to see if they can build their own Drupal teams but nobody can really go back and claim the spots in the list of the oldest Drupal companies in India.

As one of the oldest and largest Drupal companies based out of India, we have a claim to be in the list of top Drupal companies in India. However, it would be rather difficult to really compare the offerings and quality of services of the different Drupal companies and come up with a really objective way of comparing these Drupal companies in India. So creating a top Drupal company list is going to be a difficult task. Instead, we will list out 3 of the largest Drupal companies in India. Do also note that we have only listed the exclusive Drupal service providers and not the 'me-too' companies.
