Partners & certification
Certified where it is expensive to be certified.
Engineers hold RHCE, RHCSA, RHCA and OpenShift Administration certification, so we can support the Linux and container layer ourselves rather than reselling somebody else’s contract.
Partner status and individual engineer certifications, held on the delivery team rather than subcontracted. It is the difference between supporting the Linux and container layer ourselves and reselling somebody else’s support contract.
Disclosure policy
A significant part of this portfolio cannot be named.
Here is how we handle that.
We do not name government or defence clients publicly. Those programmes appear by codename only, with capability and measured outcome described in full. Where a commercial client has agreed to be named, we name them. Where they have not, the description stands on its own.
What we will say
Capability and outcome
What the system does, what it was measured at, what it was built with, and when it went into service.
What we will not say
Who, and where
No client name, no installation, no unit. Not in a deck, not in a reference call, not after the engagement ends.
How it is enforced
Contract, not courtesy
Employee NDA and IP assignment carry lifelong confidentiality on defence and government information, with liquidated damages attached.
What it means for you
The same discipline, applied to you
Whatever we will not say about them is exactly what we will not say about you. Discretion is the product, not a limitation of the page.
Programme codenames used publicly: ARGUS · MINERVA · GARRISON · SENTINEL · SCRIBE. Platform names used internally and with the client — ICCS, DRISHTI, SAMANVAY, GENEYE, eCLERK, KIP — are product names, not client names, and are safe to state.
The case
Five reasons engineering leaders choose us for the build that matters.
We have already cleared the hard rooms
Air-gapped deployments, zero-egress infrastructure and classified data handling are our everyday baseline, not edge cases. The procurement and security review burden that stops most vendors is routine work here.
Defence-grade security, applied everywhere
Every project starts from a security-first posture regardless of sector. A commercial client inherits a threat model written for an accreditation review.
India-first by architecture
DPDP compliance, GST and e-invoicing, UPI, WhatsApp as a first-class channel and OTP-only authentication are default design assumptions, not change requests.
We write the document before the code
Architecture, effort and regulatory mapping are settled and signed before development begins. That is why our estimates hold and scope disputes are rare.
We ship our own products
Six live products of our own means we absorb the cost of learning new stacks on our own time. Clients get the capability without funding the experiment.
Eight years, no abandoned engagement
100% on-time delivery, a 93% net promoter score and a 4.9 out of 5 verified client rating. If delivery quality slips there is a structured escalation to the founding team — and we stay until the product is right.
The studio
Gurugram, on Indian Standard Time.
Senior engineering at Indian day rates, working a day that overlaps yours rather than your night. Founded in India, building since 2016, and now delivering across seven-plus countries from India to the Middle East.
The people who scope the work stay accountable for it. You are not passed to a junior team after signature.
