A typical path from software to operations.

Different projects need different combinations. We assemble the approach around the actual requirements.
Why Drasken Labs

Built around engineering, not just delivery

What working with us looks like.

  • Engineering-led

    Projects approached through requirements, architecture, implementation and production — not surface-level delivery.

  • Software, AI and infrastructure

    Development, AI and cloud or platform work can sit within one engineering relationship.

  • Production-oriented

    Deployment, monitoring and operations considered alongside development.

  • Practical technology choices

    Technology chosen for the project’s requirements, constraints and expected usage.

  • Flexible engagement

    A defined project, ongoing engineering, or engineering and operations.

How we work

From requirement to production

How projects usually run.

  1. 01

  2. 02

    Plan

    Scope, architecture, technology and delivery approach.

  3. 03

    Design

    The user experience and technical architecture, where required.

  4. 04

Pricing

What does software development cost?

Project pricing depends on scope, complexity, integrations, design requirements, infrastructure, timeline and ongoing support. Each service page has its starting prices and scope details.

Starting prices are indicative. Final pricing depends on scope, technical complexity, integrations, infrastructure requirements and delivery model, and is confirmed after we understand your requirements.

Cloud infrastructure, third-party software, storage, telemetry and other external service costs may be billed separately where applicable.

Prices are in US dollars internationally and in rupees for India. Services marked USD currently publish a dollar price only; we quote in rupees on request.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to what buyers ask us most.

Still have a question?

Ask an engineer

What does Drasken Labs do?

We work in three areas: software engineering (websites, custom software and mobile apps), AI and automation, and cloud and platform engineering (cloud and DevOps, platform engineering and observability). Each has its own detailed page.

All services

Can you build an entire software product?

Yes, depending on scope — from discovery and design through development, deployment and ongoing support. We can also take on only the stages you need.

Custom software development

Can you work with an existing development team?

Yes. We can work alongside your developers on a defined part of the product, extend what your team has built, or take on infrastructure and platform work while your team focuses on features.

Can you work on an existing application?

Yes, depending on the technical scope — new features, integrations, modernization, infrastructure, performance work and observability. We review the codebase and environment first, then agree what to change.

Can you integrate AI into an existing product?

Yes, depending on the use case — chat assistants, knowledge search, document processing, AI features and workflow automation, added behind your own backend.

AI & automation

Do you provide cloud and Kubernetes services?

Yes: cloud infrastructure and managed operations, platform engineering with Kubernetes, CI/CD and GitOps, and observability for applications and clusters.

Platform engineering

Do you provide ongoing support?

Yes, through ongoing engineering, maintenance or managed operations, depending on the service. Scope, hours and response times are agreed in writing; round-the-clock cover is not included by default.

How much does software development cost?

Each service publishes starting prices, shown in the pricing overview on this page. The final price depends on scope, complexity and integrations, and you get a written estimate before any work starts.

Pricing overview

Do you work with international clients?

Yes. We are based in India and work remotely with businesses in the US, UK, Canada, the UAE and India, with prices in US dollars internationally and in rupees in India.

How do I start a project?
