4 steps, and you can stop after any of them.
You own everything produced up to the point you stop.
- 01
Discover
One week. We talk to your users and your engineers, read the code that already exists, and write down what is actually true.
- 02
Shape
A scope you can argue with: what to build first, what it costs, what it excludes, and how we will know it worked.
- 03
Build
Weekly demos against a running environment. No status decks — the software is the status report.
- 04
Run
We release behind flags with monitoring in place, then stay for support — or hand over with the documentation to make that stick.
Engagements
Three ways to work with us.
Every engagement is month-to-month after the first term. If we are not earning the next month, you should not be paying for it.
Discovery sprint
Two weeks, fixed fee. For teams who need a plan and an estimate they can take to a board.
- Technical and product audit
- Costed roadmap
- Clickable prototype
Delivery pod
An embedded team — engineering, design, QA — owning outcomes end to end.
- 3–6 people, monthly
- Weekly demos
- Direct access, no account manager
Specialist support
Named senior engineers alongside your team, for a migration or a hiring gap.
- Individually matched
- Your process and tools
- Monthly, 30 days' notice
About
Named for the number India gave the world.
Shoonya is the Sanskrit word for zero — the empty place that made every other number possible. It is a fair description of the work: someone has to sit with an empty problem before anything gets built on it.
We are a small studio of experienced people. You talk to the engineers writing your code, and you see something real early enough to change your mind about it.

Questions
Before you write to us.
Two to four weeks for a full pod, sooner for a discovery sprint. We will give you our real availability on the first call.
Contact
Send a paragraph about the problem. You will get a reply from an engineer within one working day — not a form response, and not a sales call.
