Design and strategy
AI and IT consulting
Clear advice on where AI pays off, which models and platforms to bet on, and how to roll it out safely.
What we deliver
Senior advice for leadership teams: AI opportunity assessments, Claude and Gemini model and platform selection, architecture and roadmaps, governance and data-handling reviews, team enablement and fractional CTO support.
No public case study yet · see how an engagement runsWhat you get
An AI opportunity assessment that ranks use cases by value, feasibility and risk, with a pilot plan for the top one or two.
Model and platform selection: when Claude, Gemini or both fit, which cloud to run them on (Anthropic's API, Google Cloud, AWS or Azure) and what they will cost to operate.
Architecture reviews and technology roadmaps for products and internal systems.
Governance without the theatre
Practical policies for data handling, human review, AI disclosure and vendor terms, aligned with the rules that apply to you, including India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act where relevant.
Fractional CTO
For startups and growing firms without a senior technical leader, we provide part-time technical leadership: hiring, vendor management, architecture decisions and delivery oversight.
Typical deliverables
- AI readiness and opportunity assessment
- Model, vendor and platform selection (build vs buy)
- Solution architecture and technology roadmap
- Security, governance and data-handling review
- Pilot plan with success measures
- Leadership workshops and team enablement
- Fractional CTO or Head of AI support
Tools we typically use
- Claude
- Gemini
- Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform

If your team already runs a different stack, we work within it. These are defaults, not requirements.
Claude and Gemini
Where Claude and Gemini fit
We build on both model families and choose per task, on evaluation results, cost and latency, inside the cloud you already use.
Gemini
by GoogleUsually the better fit when real-time voice, video understanding, generative media or Google Workspace and Google Cloud are central.
Together. Often the answer is both, on one cloud. Sometimes it's a simpler tool, or no AI at all, and we'll say so.
