“We needed a partner who could ship in Colombo time, take payments in three currencies, and not disappear for Eid. Three boxes ticked, eighteen months in.”

A software
house with opinions.
We don't sell hours. We sell outcomes on a roadmap — to fintechs in Lahore, to estate agents in Dubai, and to 8 K-12 schools running on School OS, our flagship product.

§ 01 — What we do
Two
businesses.
One bench.
Half our revenue comes from embedded product pods on long retainers — the other half from School OS, the K-12 platform we productized after solving the same problem for eight clients in a row. One bench, one set of senior engineers, two very different P&L lines.

§ 02 — Productized
School OS.
The platform that pays for itself in five weeks.
Eleven spreadsheets, three WhatsApp groups, one cranky Tally license. That's what most South Asian schools call a tech stack. School OS replaces all of it with one multi-tenant platform — attendance, fee collection, transport, parent portal, report cards, and a back-office we built because nobody else had.

§ 03 — Field notes
We get hired
because someone
vouched.
We don't do paid ads. Every word below was sent unprompted, after we shipped something that worked.
“I expected a chatbot. What we got was a triage engine that reads Urdu, validates against NADRA in real time, and pushed our average handling time from four days to eleven hours.”
“Our parents are bilingual, our reports were not. School OS supports Arabic and English side-by-side and our complaint volume is down 70% since rollout.”
“We had three agencies pitch us. Two sold hours, one sold a roadmap. This team showed up to discovery with a working KYC prototype and a real opinion. Eighteen months later, they ship every Friday.”
“School OS replaced eleven spreadsheets and a WhatsApp group. Fee reminders alone recovered 14% of our 2025 arrears — the platform paid for itself in five weeks.”
§ 04 — School OS pricing
Priced for
the subcontinent.
Three tiers. Annual contracts billed monthly. No per-feature toll-gates, no “contact sales for SSO”. Migration off whatever you're using today is on the house.

Want a pod
on your
roadmap?
Discovery call is 45 minutes, on your calendar, with a senior engineer — not a sales rep. You leave with a one-page proposal and a Loom walkthrough by Friday.
