Live in the overlap

Stand-ups, demos and decisions happen in the hours shown in gold, on a call with the people doing the work.

Async the rest of the day

Outside the overlap, work moves forward with written updates, recorded demos and pull requests you can review in your own time.

On-call around the clock

For managed services, monitoring and incident response run 24x7 against agreed SLAs, whatever the time zone.

Why the UAE

Why companies in the UAE work with Sunday Labs.

Delivered from Gurugram, India, with senior engineers who have built at companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Uber or Meta.

Nearly identical working hours

A 90-minute time difference means stand-ups, demos and decisions happen live across your whole day, Sunday to Friday on your calendar.

Deep financial services experience

Our founder led payments and lending engineering at fintechs, and we understand CBUAE expectations and the audit requirements of the banking sector.

Data stays in the UAE

We work inside your own cloud accounts in UAE regions and can deploy open-weight models in your environment when data cannot leave.

Senior engineers at sensible rates

Every project is led by an engineer who has built at companies like Amazon, Google or Microsoft, at rates well below the region's large consultancies.

How we work

From first call to first model in production.

A tight, repeatable loop. Every phase ends with something you can use, not just something you can read.

Weeks 2 to 3

Target architecture, success metrics and an evaluation plan agreed before a single line of production code.

03

Build

Weeks 3 to 8

Small senior squads ship in weekly increments with your team embedded, so knowledge transfers as we go.

04
