How we work together

Four ways in. One long-term partnership.

Every engagement is an entry point into the same relationship: helping you build an engineering organization that no longer depends on you — or on us. We don't sell developers, hours, or code. We sell judgment, leadership, and outcomes.

Engagements from ₹2L/month · pay after each month · no lock-in.

Technology Assessment

A focused two-week diagnosis of your engineering foundation and the customer accounts it serves — ending in a written report and a clear 90-day plan. The in-depth version of our free Health Check.

  • Engineering foundation review
  • Customer account health review
  • Team and leadership assessment
  • Key risks
  • Written 90-day plan presented to the founder

Fractional CTO

Your accountable engineering leader. We own technology direction, delivery rhythm, hiring and architecture — with named outcomes agreed every quarter — and we build the internal leadership that eventually replaces us.

Technology direction

Architecture decisions, build-vs-buy calls, platform strategy, and AI adoption.

Organization & hiring

Designing team structure, hiring senior engineers and leaders, and building internal succession.

Delivery excellence

Fixing the practices and processes slowing shipping as the team grows.

A fixed day with your team each week, a weekly founder sync, and 24-hour responses on decisions and blockers.

Fractional CTO Plus: ~2 days a week for larger or Series A/B teams.

Two other ways in
Senior judgment, when you own the outcome

Strategic Technology Advisory

Senior judgment on the decisions that matter: architecture, build-vs-buy, AI strategy, senior hiring, or CTO mentoring. Advisory gives you judgment; Fractional CTO gives you accountability.

  • Architecture and platform review
  • Build-vs-buy and AI strategy decisions
  • Hiring evaluation for senior technical roles
  • CTO mentoring for a first-time technical leader
Idea to production · Opportunity-driven

90-Day MVP Delivery

For validated ideas that need to become real, production-grade products. I take direct ownership — building it myself or hiring and leading your founding engineering team — so you end up with real software and, if needed, a team of your own. Not prototypes. Not demos. Real software ready for customers.

  • Product scoping and technical architecture
  • Hands-on build, led personally, in 90 days
  • Production-grade quality, not a throwaway prototype
  • A foundation your team can extend afterward
How it usually starts

Most Fractional CTO relationships begin with a Technology Assessment.

01
A conversation

No pitch. We talk through the actual bottleneck — hiring, delivery, architecture, or direction.

02
Technology Assessment

A 2-week diagnosis of the engineering and account foundations, ending in a written 90-day plan.

03
Fractional CTO partnership

When trust is established and the need is ongoing, we move into a long-term leadership partnership.
