Offshore Development

Offshore development, without the offshore problems.

A senior team in Gurugram builds your AI, data and software systems, with live overlap in your working day and a founder reviewing the work every week. You get the cost of India without the junior benches, missed handovers and silent weeks that give offshore a bad name.

The problem

Why this work usually stalls.

01

Junior teams behind senior pitches

The people in the sales meeting disappear after signing, and the work goes to whoever is free on the bench.

02

Time zones that stall work

Questions wait a day for answers, and a one-hour fix takes a week of back and forth.

03

No view of progress

Monthly status reports say everything is green until a deadline is missed.

04

Code you cannot take back

Knowledge sits with the vendor, and bringing the work in house later means starting again.

What you get

What you get with offshore development.

Whichever way you work with us, the same standards apply: senior people, weekly progress and work that belongs to you.

01

Senior-only squads

Two to four experienced people, led by an engineer who has built at companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Uber or Meta.

  • Senior
  • Small squads
02

Live overlap every day

Stand-ups, demos and decisions happen in your hours. The rest moves asynchronously with written updates.

  • Overlap
  • Async
03

Weekly demos

Working software every week, measured against one metric agreed at the start.

Founder oversight

A founder scopes the work, reviews it every week and signs off before anything reaches production.

Your tools, your repos

We work in your cloud accounts, GitHub and ticketing, under your access controls and audit trails.

FAQ

Questions we hear a lot.

How is this different from a typical offshore vendor?
Squads are senior-only and small, a founder reviews the work every week, and the people you meet before signing are the people who do the work. You also get live overlap in your working day rather than a team that only works while you sleep.
How much overlap do we get with your team?
It depends on your time zone. European and Gulf clients overlap for most of their day, US East Coast clients for their morning and Australian clients for their afternoon. Each of our country pages shows the exact overlap.
Who owns the code and IP?
You do. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, all code, models, prompts and documentation created for you belong to you once invoices are settled.
How do you price offshore development?
Usually a monthly retainer for the squad, with a clear scope and number before work begins. Defined projects can be fixed-fee.
