Working with Bengaluru startups.

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

Overlap with Holdfast

Same time zone as our Bhubaneswar hub. Full overlap.

Same time zone as the build

A Bengaluru 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 Bhubaneswar, drawing on the NIT Rourkela pipeline. The delivery discipline and the toolchain are the same we bring to any US client.

A recruiter-finder agent for ApplyAI, shipped in 12 days
