03
⚡
Fast. 48 hours to matched.
Post your project today. We match you to the right person within 48 hours. Work starts within the week, not 3 weeks of back-and-forth.

💸
Startup-friendly pricing
Typical projects run ₹15,000–₹50,000 for 3–6 week engagements. Toptal-quality vetting at a fraction of the cost.
Not Upwork.
Not an intern.
Something better.
