Do you work with early-stage startups as well as larger companies?
Yes. We work best with startups and growing businesses that want one partner to own a product from design through launch and support, and we also size engagements for mid-market and larger teams.
Pricing, Scoping, and Project Ownership
How much will our project cost?
Project cost depends on scope. We quote each project after we understand your goals, and you get a written proposal with the cost before any work starts. Tell us what you need and we reply within one business day.
How long will our project take?
Timelines depend on scope, so we set them in the written proposal along with the cost, before work starts. If you have a fixed launch date, mention it in your enquiry so the proposal accounts for it.
How quickly do you respond to new enquiries?
We respond to every project enquiry within 1 business day.
Do we get a written proposal before work starts?
Yes. Every project begins with a written proposal that sets out the recommended approach, cost, and timeline. You review and agree to it before any work starts.
Who owns the code and intellectual property?
Ownership of everything we build for you is set out in your project agreement, which you see and agree to in writing before work starts.
What is the pricing model for your Shopify apps?
PointDrop has a free plan for up to 100 members and a 14-day free trial on paid plans. StockDrop has a free plan with 100 notifications a month and a 7-day free trial on paid plans.
Cloud Consulting and Platform Strategy
Which cloud platforms does Tekgen support?
We work on AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. We recommend a platform based on your workloads, existing tools, team skills, and cost, with the reasoning documented in writing.
What does cloud consulting typically include?
Usually a strategy covering which workloads move, in what order, on which provider, and what it will take in people and budget. We also carry out a cloud readiness assessment that reviews your applications, data, and infrastructure and recommends, for each one, whether to rehost, re-platform, rebuild, or leave it in place.
Can we hire Tekgen for cloud strategy only, without having you run the migration?
Yes. Many clients use us only for the strategy and roadmap, then build it themselves. The roadmap is written so your team, or another partner, can carry it out.
Do you support multi-cloud strategies?
We work across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, so we can advise on multi-cloud approaches where the workloads, tools, and cost structure justify it. We document the reasoning rather than defaulting to any single provider.
Do you build cloud-native applications as well as advise on migrations?
Yes. Cloud-native web and business app development is a core service, separate from migration consulting.
Generative AI Systems and Data Privacy
Will our data be used to train public AI models?
Not through anything we set up. We use business API terms or cloud-hosted models (Azure OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, Vertex AI) where your data is not used for training, and we can run open models on your own infrastructure if data isolation is a requirement.
How do you stop the AI making things up?
We ground answers in your own documents, show the sources, tell the model to say when it does not know, and test against a set of real questions before launch. No system is perfect, so we also design how mistakes get caught.
What kinds of AI tools do you build?
We build AI chatbots and assistants that answer from your own content and hand over to a person when appropriate, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems for question-answering over your documents and wikis, document processing tools that extract structured data from invoices and contracts, and LLM features added to existing web or mobile apps. We also build AI agents that take actions, not just answer questions.
Can AI features be added to an existing product?
Yes. Summaries, drafting, classification, and smart search can be added to an existing web or mobile app through a clean API layer.
Post-Launch Technical Support and App Maintenance
Does Tekgen provide support after a project launches?
Yes. Post-launch support is available through our app maintenance and support service. The support team is available Monday to Friday, 10:00 to 20:00 IST.
What does post-launch support cover?
We can keep monitoring, fixing, and updating what we built. The scope is set out in your support arrangement, covering ongoing maintenance and improvements after launch.
Can you maintain an app another team built?
Yes. We start with an assessment of the existing app so the maintenance plan fits its code and condition.
How do I contact Tekgen for support or a new enquiry?
You can reach us by email at info@tekgen.io or by phone at +91-78-747-747-48. We reply to every project enquiry within 1 business day.
