Two to three weeks with your operators, not just your executives. We map the workflow as it actually happens, including the spreadsheet everyone pretends doesn't exist.
Taking projects for Q4 2026
Software that survives contact with reality.
Most enterprise projects don't fail at launch. They fail eighteen months later, when the team that built them is gone. Climentos builds the system and staffs the people who keep it standing.

Who we are
An engineering firm that also hires, vets and trains the people who run what it builds.
Climentos Technologies started in 2014 with four engineers in Bengaluru and one stubborn idea: the reason enterprise software rots is that the people who understand it leave. So we built two halves of one company — a delivery practice that ships, and a talent practice that staffs.
- Fixed-scope discovery, so the estimate you get is the price you pay
- Every engagement writes its own runbook — handover is a deliverable, not a favour
- ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II controls across all six delivery centres
- Your code, your cloud, your IP — from the first commit
What we do
Sixteen services. Three jobs: build it, run it, staff it.
You can hire us for one, or for the whole chain. Most clients start with one and end up with the chain, which is either a compliment or a warning depending on your budget.
All services

AI Development
Retrieval systems, forecasting models and agent workflows that go to production — with evaluation harnesses, not vibes.
Explore BuildCustom Software
Line-of-business platforms where the domain is messy, the rules keep changing and off-the-shelf gave up.
Explore BuildWeb Development
Fast, accessible, measurable front-ends. Core Web Vitals in the green on real devices, not just on your laptop.
Explore BuildMobile Apps
Native and React Native apps built for patchy networks, old handsets and users who won't read a tooltip.
Explore BuildJava Development
Spring Boot services, batch estates and the slow, careful modernisation of code older than some of our engineers.
Explore RunCloud Solutions
Migrations that finish, landing zones that pass audit, and a bill you can actually explain to finance.
Explore RunDevOps
Pipelines, IaC and observability. If a deploy still needs a person on a call at 11pm, we haven't finished.
Explore RunQA Testing
Automation, performance and security testing wired into the pipeline — plus humans who try to break things creatively.
Explore BuildUI/UX Design
Research, design systems and interfaces for people doing real work under time pressure.
Explore SystemsCRM Development
Custom pipelines and integrations for sales motions that don't fit anyone's default object model.
Explore SystemsERP Development
Finance, inventory and manufacturing modules built or extended — with the migration plan written first.
Explore SystemsHR Solutions
Payroll, attendance and performance tooling that survives an audit and an appraisal cycle in the same month.
Explore PeopleRecruitment Services
Technical hiring run by people who can read the code. Average time-to-offer: 19 days.
Explore PeopleBackground Verification
Employment, education, criminal and address checks with a documented chain of custody and consent trail.
Explore PeopleDigital Marketing
Demand generation for technical products, measured on pipeline rather than impressions.
Explore PeopleCorporate Training
Cohort programmes in cloud, Java, AI engineering and secure coding — taught by people still shipping.

AI Solutions
Explore AI Development
We ship the boring half of AI: evaluation, guardrails and cost control.
A demo takes a fortnight. A system your compliance officer will sign off takes longer, and it's the only kind worth paying for. Every Climentos AI engagement includes a golden dataset, a regression suite and a per-request cost budget before a single prompt reaches production.
Retrieval & knowledge
Grounded answers over your own documents, with citations and access control inherited from your existing permissions.
Forecasting & scoring
Demand, risk and churn models with drift monitoring and a documented retraining cadence.
Agentic workflows
Multi-step automation with human checkpoints on anything that spends money or touches a customer.
Document intelligence
Extraction from invoices, claims, contracts and scans — accuracy measured against a labelled set you keep.

Software Development
Three ways to work with us. All of them end with you owning everything.
Repositories, infrastructure, credentials, documentation and the runbook are yours from day one — not handed over at the end as leverage. We've never held a client hostage to a knowledge gap, and we're not about to start.
- Code in your VCS from the first commit, reviewed by your team if you want
- Two-week sprints with a demo you're invited to, not a status email
- A named principal engineer accountable for the architecture, all the way through

How a project runs
Six stages. You can stop after any of them.
This is a real sequence, so it's numbered. Each stage has an exit artefact you keep whether or not you continue with us — the discovery document, the architecture, the runbook.
02
Architecture
A named principal engineer writes the design: data model, service boundaries, failure modes, and the three decisions you'll regret if we get them wrong.
03
Build
Two-week sprints, working software at the end of each. Demos are open to anyone on your side who wants to watch, including the people who'll have to use it.
04
Hardening
Load, security and failure testing against production-shaped data. We deliberately break it in staging so it doesn't surprise us on a Friday.
05
Launch
Phased cutover with a written rollback plan. We sit with your team through the first week, in your time zone, whatever that costs us in sleep.
06
Run or hand over
Either we operate it under an SLA, or we train your team and step back. Both are real options; we'll tell you honestly which one your organisation is ready for.
Selected work
Things we built that are still running.
The oldest system on this page went live in 2017 and has never had an unplanned outage longer than eleven minutes. That's the metric we're proudest of.
Full portfolio
A settlement core rebuilt without a single lost transaction
Northbank ran reconciliation on a nightly batch that took four days to clear disputes. We replaced it with an event-sourced ledger, migrated 14 years of history, and cut settlement to under six hours.

Northbank: replacing a settlement core while it was still running
Two false starts before we found the right migration order — we wrote both up for the client, and they're the reason the third attempt worked. Dual-running the old and new ledgers for eleven weeks cost more than anyone wanted, and it's the only reason zero transactions were lost.

Verdana Health: one patient record across 38 clinics
Thirty-eight clinics, nine record systems and a merger deadline. The hard part wasn't the integration — it was persuading clinicians that a shared record wouldn't cost them time. So we rebuilt the intake screen first and let the results argue for us.

Why Climentos
Five reasons that survive a reference call.
We staff what we build
When a project ends, most firms leave and take the knowledge. Our recruitment practice hires and trains the team that takes over — often placing them with you permanently. That's why 96% of clients are still with us in year two.
Your IP, from commit one
Code, infra and docs live in your accounts. No escrow theatre.
Estimates that hold
Paid discovery first. 94% of fixed-scope projects land inside budget.
Audit-ready by default
ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and DPDP controls across every centre.
We overlap with your working day
Delivery centres in Bengaluru, Pune, Dubai, London, Austin and Singapore mean at least four hours of live overlap with any client time zone — and a named engineer on call, not a ticket queue.

Clients
What people say when the project is over.
We ask every client for a reference six months after go-live, not on launch day. The enthusiasm is lower and the answers are more useful.
They told us our original plan wouldn't work and showed us the numbers. That conversation cost them three months of billing and bought them a client for six years.
The handover document was better than the one our own team writes. Two years on, we've extended the platform three times without calling them once — which I think is the point.
We needed eleven engineers in six weeks in a market where nobody had eleven engineers. They found nine, trained two internal transfers, and none of them have left.
Recognition
Nice to have. Not why you should hire us.

Six centres, one delivery standard.
Every centre runs the same review gates, the same security controls and the same definition of done. Where you're billed from changes the rate; it doesn't change the work.

Questions
The things people ask before the first call.
If yours isn't here, the chat button on the right reaches a person during Indian business hours.
Ask us directly
A dedicated squad runs from about $18,000 to $46,000 a month depending on seniority and mix.
Fixed-scope builds usually land between $40,000 and $400,000. Discovery is billed separately —
typically $6,000 to $14,000 — and is credited against the build if you continue. The estimator on the
contact page gets you within about 20%.
You do, from the first commit. Repositories sit in your version control, infrastructure runs in your
cloud accounts, and every credential is yours. We sign work-for-hire terms as standard. There is no
escrow arrangement because there's nothing to hold.
Discovery usually starts within two weeks of signature. A full squad is productive in a fortnight —
one week on your domain and codebase, one week shadowing before they touch anything that matters. If
you need people faster than that, we'll tell you what we'd be trading away.
Most of our work is joint. We'll adopt your ceremonies, your branching strategy and your definition of
done. Where we disagree with a practice, we'll raise it once with reasoning and then follow your call
— it's your organisation.
Your choice. We run it under an SLA — 24/7, 99.9% or 99.99% depending on tier — or we train your team
over six to ten weeks and step back. Either way you get the runbook, the architecture decision records
and recorded walkthroughs of every subsystem.
ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II across all six centres, with GDPR and India's DPDP Act built into our data
handling. For regulated work we support HIPAA-aligned controls and PCI-DSS scoped environments. Audit
reports are available under NDA.
