Three things we do. We'll tell you which one you need on the first call.

Most projects are one of these. Some are two. All of them end with something running in your business, with a person who built it a message away.

AI automation

LLMs wired into work you already do

Document checks, intake triage, drafting replies, reconciling records, chasing follow-ups. We look at where your team spends hours on repeatable judgement calls and build an automation that does the first pass.

Every one of them gets a human sign-off step, evals so you know when it drifts, and monitoring. If the data can’t leave the building, it runs on your servers with local models.

  • A workflow map of what gets automated and what stays human
  • A working pipeline on your data, with a review UI
  • Evals and monitoring so it stays honest
  • On-prem or air-gapped deployment when required
Typical timeline
2 to 6 weeks

SaaS products

Our own software, starting with Vaultra

Vaultra is a 21 CFR Part 11 and Schedule M compliant document management system.

  • Vaultra live in 48 hours, on-prem or cloud
  • Per-client Docker deployment, your data stays yours
  • Training for the QA team on the floor
  • Support through your next audit

Custom development

The systems a business actually runs on

Web apps, mobile apps, ERPs, dashboards, portals. Designed around the people who use them: phone-first for a factory floor, keyboard-first for an office, offline-tolerant for a field team.

Scoped honestly, built in weekly demos, handed over with source code and documentation.

  • A fixed scope and quote before anything starts
  • A working MVP with weekly demos on a link
  • Source code, docs, and deployment you own
  • Support after launch
Typical timeline
MVP in about 6 weeks
Stack
Next.js, React Native, Django REST, Postgres, Docker, Vercel

Work that's running right now.

Real clients, real places. A pharma QC lab, a municipal council, a fish meal factory, a salon, a gifting brand. None of it is a template. Three of them are live products you can open right now.

How a project goes.

Four steps. You talk to the person building it at every one of them.

  1. A 30-minute call

    We ask what breaks, what lives on paper, and what a good week would look like. If we're the wrong fit we say so and point you somewhere better.

  2. A fixed scope and quote

    Written in plain language, with what's in, what's out, and what it costs. Nothing starts until you've read it and agreed.

  3. Build in the open

    A demo every week on a link you can open on your phone. Changes are cheap early, so we show early. Yash writes the code, you talk to Yash.

  4. Ship, train, stay

    We deploy, train your team on the floor, and stick around for support. Source code and documentation are yours from day one.

Founder-led means founder-involved. Every project has Yash on it from the first call to the last deployment, and usually well after.

  • Goa & Pune
  • Remote-friendly, async-friendly
  • Production-grade code, documented and version-controlled

Tell us what's broken. Or what you want to build.

Describe it badly, that's fine. We'll reply within 24 hours with questions, or a rough scope if it's already clear.
