Software studio · Bengaluru, India

Process

Five steps, and you can stop after any of them.

You own everything produced up to the point you stop.

  1. 01

    Discover

    One week. We talk to your users and your engineers, read the code that already exists, and write down what is actually true.

  2. 02

    Shape

    A scope you can argue with: what to build first, what it costs, what it excludes, and how we will know it worked.

  3. 03

    Build

    Weekly demos against a running environment. No status decks — the software is the status report.

  4. 04

    Run

    We release behind flags with monitoring in place, then stay for support — or hand over with the documentation to make that stick.

Every engagement is month-to-month after the first term. If we are not earning the next month, you should not be paying for it.

About

Named for the number India gave the world.

Shoonya is the Sanskrit word for zero — the empty place that made every other number possible. It is a fair description of the work: someone has to sit with an empty problem before anything gets built on it.

We are a small studio of experienced people. You talk to the engineers writing your code, and you see something real early enough to change your mind about it.

Questions

Before you write to us.

Two to four weeks for a full pod, sooner for a discovery sprint. We will give you our real availability on the first call.

Contact

Send a paragraph about the problem. You will get a reply from an engineer within one working day — not a form response, and not a sales call.
