Every entrepreneurial journey begins with a dream - and we know dreams can change the world. But reality is also about getting the execution correct from the early stages. We evaluated quite a few partners to help get our idea off the ground quickly. Sahaj, with their extensive experience of working with startups was an ideal choice for us. And they did not disappoint... be it in scoping (what's the right trade-off in time and features), the look and feel (UX and UI), engineering (cutting edge, scalable, high performance). Even the complete handover to the FikkA team was very smooth! More importantly, they owned the idea as much as us - it was their baby too... FikkA is a job recommendation app - a two way connect between candidates and recruiters with just a simple swipe. You can download FikkA from Playstore - and experience it yourself.

We worked with Sahaj to develop our open source platform for multilingual content. It was a complex project and the team at Sahaj did a great job to understand our specific requirements and budget constraints. They followed a rigorous process to keep the project on time and within the budget. We believe we have developed an excellent product that will stand the test of time. We have just launched StoryWeaver (September 2015)and the response has been wonderful both from users and the tech community
