Working with Bangalore startups.

Bangalore shares India Standard Time with our Bangalore engineering hub. For an Indian startup, that is full working-day overlap with the people doing the build.

Same time zone as our Bangalore hub. Full overlap.

Same time zone as the build

A Bangalore founder works the same hours as the Holdfast engineering team. Every question, every review, every decision happens live, inside one shared working day.

Local team, global standard

Our engineering hub is in Bangalore, drawing on the our internship pipeline. The delivery discipline and the toolchain are the same we bring to any US client.
