What we do
One team owns the whole surface.
Mobile, web, backend and AI — under one senior hand. Hire us for one layer or all four; most clients start with one and stay for the rest.
01
Mobile App Development
Production-ready iOS and Android applications built with Flutter — from MVPs to fully featured products.
02
Web Applications
Fast, modern web applications and SaaS products built for real-world users, teams and businesses.
03
Backend & APIs
Reliable backend systems, APIs and real-time infrastructure that power your product behind the scenes.
04
AI-Powered Products
AI integrated where it creates real product value — from intelligent workflows and assistants to automation and AI-native experiences.
How we work
From brief to launch.
Five stages, one team the whole way through — nothing gets re-explained to someone new halfway in.
01
Discover
Product, user and technical requirements — out of it comes a roadmap everything else is built on.
02
Design
Wireframes, prototypes and a clear product experience. This is where the product becomes visible for the first time.
03
Build
Production code for web, mobile and backend — clean, tested, and built to still run in five years.
04
Launch
Release, monitor, iterate. We stay on after go-live — your product grows, and we grow with it.
05
Evolve
Launch isn’t the finish line. Ongoing design and engineering as your product grows — same team, no re-briefing.
Ongoing
Most projects don't end.
A defined project is usually the start. Once your product is live it keeps changing — new features, new surfaces, design system upkeep, releases.
Most clients continue on a monthly retainer: a fixed block of design and engineering time each month, same person, no re-briefing, no re-scoping.
Included
AI products
AI where it earns its place.
We don't add AI because it's fashionable. We integrate it where it makes the product smarter, faster or more useful — from intelligent assistants and automation to AI-native product experiences.
Studio
A small, senior team for ambitious products.
Akumio is a product development studio based in India, working with startups and businesses worldwide. We combine product strategy, thoughtful design and senior engineering to build software that's ready for real users — not just a prototype that looks good in a demo. No account managers, no handoffs between departments — you talk to the people doing the work, every time.
Founder
Aakash Choudhary
Founder, Akumio
Founding Engineer at Plarty — 230K+ downloadsI build products end to end — product design, backend, and the mobile code that ships it. Before Akumio I was founding engineer at Plarty, a consumer app now past 230,000 downloads. Akumio is how I do that work for other teams.
LinkedInFrequently asked
Answers, up front.
Do we have to use all four services?
No. Most clients start with one discipline — and bring us in for the rest once they see how we work. Nothing is bundled by default.
Do you work on an ongoing basis?
Yes. Most engagements start as a defined project and continue as a monthly retainer: a fixed block of design and engineering time, same person, cancel with 30 days’ notice.
How long does a project take?
A web app typically runs 2–12 weeks depending on scope, and mobile builds run 4–10 weeks. You get a concrete timeline with milestones after the discovery call, not a guess.
What does it cost?
Fixed price after a short discovery call, scoped individually based on complexity — no hourly billing and no surprise invoices once the scope is agreed. Monthly retainers are available for ongoing work once a first project ships, or from month one.
Who actually works on the project?
The same senior hand from kickoff to launch — Aakash scopes and reviews everything personally, with a vetted bench of engineers delivering under his direct supervision. We cap parallel projects to protect that.
Who actually writes the code?
Aakash scopes, designs and reviews everything. Engineering is delivered by a small vetted bench he works with directly and has worked with for years. You deal with one person throughout.
Do we own the source files and code?
Yes. On final payment, full usage rights transfer and the repository moves to your GitHub. No vendor lock-in and no licensing fees down the line.
Do you work with teams outside our time zone?
Yes — we work asynchronously by default with a weekly live call, which has worked well across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific time zones.
