What's the minimum project we'll take on?

Around ₹2 L (~$3K) for a Starter — a focused marketing site or landing-page project. Anything smaller is usually better served by a freelancer, and we'll tell you so honestly.

Do you charge fixed-price or hourly?

Both — and we recommend the right one for your project, in writing. Fixed-price for well-scoped work (Starter / Growth tiers). Time & Materials or a dedicated team for evolving products and Scale-tier engagements. Mixed engagements are also fine.

What are the payment terms?

30% on signing, 30% at the mid-point sprint demo, 30% on UAT acceptance, 10% at the 30-day handover. Bank transfer (NEFT / SWIFT / Wise) or wire to our HSBC business account. Invoices issued before each milestone.

Is the discovery call really free?

Yes — a 30-minute call with an engineer (not a salesperson) where we understand your problem, sketch the architecture, and tell you whether we're a fit. If we aren't, we'll point you to someone who is. No obligation, no follow-up sales pressure.

What happens if scope changes mid-project?

Common, and handled well. Small changes go into the same sprint — no extra charge. Larger changes get a written change-request with new estimate and timeline before we start. You always sign off before scope expands. We don't bill for surprises.

Will I really own the source code?

Yes — full transfer at the 30-day handover. GitHub access, AWS / GCP root, secrets, infra-as-code, runbooks. We retain no ongoing rights, no lock-in, no "managed services" required. The IP is yours from the day you sign.

Do you offer maintenance after launch?

Every project includes a fixed bug-fix window (6 months Starter, 12 months Growth, custom for Scale). Beyond that we offer monthly retainers covering security patches, dependency upgrades, OS / framework updates, and a fixed feature-bucket — typically ₹1.5–4 L / month.

Can we start small and grow into a larger engagement?

Yes — many clients start with a Starter or Growth project and grow into a dedicated team. We'll keep the same engineers on, the same tooling, the same context. No re-onboarding tax.
