Two lines
is enough.

Most engagements are project-based, scoped to a defined outcome rather than a number of hours. A small number of clients work with us on a longer rolling basis where we hold both design and engineering across multiple product lines. We don't run agency-style retainers, and we don't sell time.

Most of our clients have an internal design or engineering function. We work alongside it rather than around it, often shaping the spine of a platform that the client's own team then extends. Where the client runs an agency partner, we work alongside them too.

Yes. The studio in Manchester sits closer to our UK and European engagements; the Mumbai studio handles most of the work in India and a portion of the work in the GCC. Financial services and pharma are the largest practice areas, but we also work in consulting, tax, mobility, and longevity.

Most of our work comes through introduction. If you've been pointed here, send a short note explaining what you're trying to do and we'll take it from there. If you haven't, the same applies — the door is open, the bar is the same.

Nihar runs every engagement directly, with the practice leads who sit closest to the work. The team you meet in the first conversation is the team that ships. We don't hand off after the pitch.

Applied AI infrastructure inside production platforms. Agents that read positions, draft reviews, monitor regulation, and flag what needs a human eye. We don't do chat surfaces bolted onto dashboards, and we don't build proofs of concept that aren't designed to ship.

Engagements typically run from a few months to multiple years, and the fee structure reflects that. We sit at the senior end of the market — closer to a boutique consultancy than to a design studio. Specifics are scoped to the engagement.
