IT Consulting · Engineer-led, not consultant-led

Advice from people who also ship the code.

Tech architecture, vendor selection, build-vs-buy, implementation oversight, digital roadmaps — by the team that operates 12 production SaaS platforms today, not by a partner who'll hand you to a delivery bench you'll never meet.

Where we advise

Six advisory tracks. Fixed scope. Written deliverable.

Every engagement ends with a one-page brief — yours to keep, share with the board, or hand to a delivery partner.

  • 01

    Tech architecture review

    Honest audit of your current stack. What scales, what breaks at 10×, what to refactor first.

  • 02

    Build vs buy vs partner

    We ship custom SOFTWARE for a living — but we'll tell you when SaaS or open-source is the right call.

  • 03

    Vendor selection

    ERP, CRM, helpdesk, cloud, payment. RFP scoring matrix, reference calls, negotiated quote.

  • 04

    Implementation oversight

    Hire us as the buyer-side technical owner across an SI engagement. We keep the integrator honest.

  • 05

    Digital roadmap

    3-year roadmap aligned to business goals. Sequenced initiatives, ROI estimates, capability gaps.

  • 06

    Security + compliance audit

    DPDP Act 2023, GST e-invoicing, ISO readiness, data isolation. Findings + remediation plan.

The four decisions buyers bring us

Four big decisions. Clear answers.

  • Custom software or off-the-shelf SaaS?

    Depends on workflow uniqueness, scale, integration depth, and ownership preference. We score across all four.

  • Multi-tenant or per-client isolation?

    Enterprise procurement asks for isolation. Multi-tenant is cheaper but blocks high-value enterprise deals.

  • Tally or graduate to ERP?

    Tally is fine until ~₹50 Cr / multi-branch / scheme-heavy. Above that, MIS pressure drives ERP.

  • AWS, Azure, GCP or hybrid?

    Stack skills, licensing economics, data residency — usually points to one clearly. We map it.

Common questions

Questions buyers actually ask.

Do you only recommend SalesPort, or do you genuinely evaluate other platforms?

We genuinely evaluate. We have published comparison content for FieldAssist, BeatRoute, Bizom, SalesJump, and a 'Best DMS India 2026' listicle that explicitly says when competitor platforms are a better fit. In our vendor selection engagements, SalesPort goes into the shortlist only when it genuinely fits — and we have walked away from prospects where the right answer was a competitor's platform. Vendor-neutrality is the foundation of consulting credibility; we treat it accordingly.

What's a typical IT consulting engagement size?

Architecture reviews: Rs 1.5-3 Lakh, 2 weeks. Vendor selection: Rs 2-4 Lakh, 3-5 weeks. Technology roadmap: Rs 3-6 Lakh, 3-6 weeks. Compliance audit: Rs 1.5-3 Lakh, 2-4 weeks. Cloud cost optimisation: Rs 1-2 Lakh, 1-2 weeks. Fractional CTO retainer: from Rs 1.5 Lakh per month, 3-month minimum. All fixed-fee — no hourly billing.

Can you help with DPDP Act compliance?

Yes. We have implemented DPDP-aligned data handling on our own platform and on our client deployments — India-region hosting on AWS Mumbai, per-client data isolation, consent-gated location data, subject rights (access, deletion, portability), encrypted backups within the country. Our compliance advisory covers gap analysis, remediation plan, and vendor questionnaire templates aligned to DPDP Act 2023 obligations.

What industries do you have the most experience in?

Dairy (private + cooperative), FMCG distribution, agriculture and cattle feed, spices, government procurement. Outside these — we have meaningful experience but less depth in fintech, healthcare, education tech, e-commerce, and hospitality. We will tell you whether your sector is in our wheelhouse during the scoping call; if it is not, we will recommend a better-fit consultant.

Do you offer ongoing CTO services or only one-off engagements?

Both. One-off engagements (architecture review, vendor selection, compliance audit) are fixed-fee with defined deliverables and timelines. Ongoing fractional CTO retainer is monthly billed from Rs 1.5 Lakh / month, suited for founder-led companies that need regular technology advisory without a full-time CTO hire. Most fractional CTO engagements run 6-18 months and gradually wind down as the in-house engineering function matures.
