Your idea. Built right. On budget.
Stuck between AI demos that break in production and agencies that charge six figures? We build real software with fixed pricing and no scope surprises. Senior-led, AI-assisted — you see working builds every week. How we use AI
Show amounts in:
INR uses an indicative rate (~83 INR/USD) for orientation only; quotes are confirmed in writing.
We typically engage from about $5,000 for focused work (discovery, a tight MVP slice, or a narrow build), scaling with complexity. Many full product scopes fall around $15,000–$75,000 for the agreed work — integrations, compliance, and timeline move the number. After a free consultation and written scope, you get a firm quote — see FAQ → Pricing.

Sound familiar?
You’re not missing a tool — you’re missing a delivery system with accountability.
AI builders hit a wall
You tried an AI builder but it couldn’t handle your business rules, permissions, or integrations.
Agency sticker shock
An agency quoted six figures for what feels like a mid-size product.
Freelancer risk
A freelancer went quiet mid-project — with your deposit and your timeline.
Prototype vs. production
Your demo works in a video call but breaks with real users and real data.
How we’re different
Process isn’t red tape — it’s how fixed pricing stays honest.
Clarity
We define what to build — and why — before engineering starts. Signed scope, explicit assumptions.
Discovery → design sign-off → build
Reliability
Fixed-price quotes for agreed scope. Test-first development and automated quality checks on every change.
Predictable budget, fewer regressions
Transparency
Private staging from early builds, weekly updates, and full source + docs at handoff. You own your product logic.
No black box, no lock-in

From chaos to a client portal in five weeks
A relatable story about what working with us actually looks like.
The problem
John runs a 15-person accounting firm. Tax season is chaos — clients email documents everywhere, call for status updates, and nothing is tracked.
John tries DIY
He tried an AI builder. It generated a basic upload form — but no role permissions, no audit trail, no deadline tracking. His team couldn't use it.
John finds Zilligent
Free 45-minute consultation. We mapped what he needed — and what he didn't. No commitment required.
AI in our process
How we use AI — without betting your product on a black box
We use modern AI-assisted development the same way a serious shop uses power tools: for speed and consistency, not as a substitute for judgment. We don’t publish our internal toolchain; we do make the rules of engagement explicit: what gets verified, when you approve, and how scope stays honest.
Senior ownership
AI accelerates drafting and refactors; a senior engineer sets direction, reviews output, and is accountable for what ships.
Correctness before speed
We define expected behavior with tests and acceptance criteria on critical paths — so changes don’t silently break production logic.
Human gates
You sign off on design before build locks in. Scope changes go through written change requests. Production goes live only after explicit acceptance.
Visible progress
Staging previews and weekly updates mean you’re not waiting until the end to see whether reality matches the plan.
Who you'll work with
We're a compact engineering studio— a small team of senior engineers who design, build, and own what ships. You won't get a pitch from someone who disappears after the sale, and we don't park your product on a rotating bench of people you've never met.
Premdeep is Chief Engineer & Founder. His background spans 16+ years across telecom, cloud, commerce, and enterprise, including engineering at a FAANG company and a Master's in Engineering from an Ivy League university. He sets technical direction and stays hands-on with the team so architecture, quality, and accountability stay aligned end to end.
Across the studio we've lived in development, SRE, and requirements — so we care what goes live andwhat it's like when something breaks at scale.
