The questions
we are asked most.

Straight answers on how we engage, what we charge, and how we keep the systems you depend on quietly running.

How is a typical engagement structured?
Every engagement begins with a listening phase, then a reference architecture, a cost model, and a phased plan you approve before a single change is made. We deliver in guarded phases — observable, reversible, sequenced around your business calendar. Most clients move into a managed-operations relationship afterwards, but you are never locked in.
How do you price your work?
Design and advisory work is fixed-fee against a defined scope; build work is milestone-based; managed operations is a transparent monthly retainer with named engineers and published SLAs. We model total cost of ownership up front, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
How do you handle security and compliance?
Security is designed in, not bolted on — zero-trust architecture, identity-first access, and continuous monitoring across every engagement. We work comfortably within HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI-DSS and ISO 27001 regimes, provide full audit trails, and keep our own practice ISO 27001-aligned.
Where are you based, and can you work in our timezone?
We are an independent firm headquartered in Pune, with offices in Mumbai, Nagpur and Bengaluru. From across India we deliver into European, Middle East and Asia-Pacific hours — including genuine round-the-clock, 24/7 operations for managed clients.
What do your SLAs and response times look like?
Managed-operations clients get 24/7 monitoring with named engineers, response and resolution targets defined by severity, and quarterly reviews of posture and cost. For new inquiries, a senior engineer — not a sales rep — responds within one business day.
We are not sure what we need yet. Can we still talk?
Yes — that is the listening phase, and it is where most engagements begin. Tell us where you are, where you intend to go, and where it hurts. No decks, no jargon, and no obligation until the path is clear and you have approved it.
