Discovery sprint — refundable in full

We engineer the complex. Across every serious stack.

Built on 15+ years of senior engineering experience. We ship production-grade backend systems, web applications, and crypto platforms. AI is a tool in our hands — not a product we sell.

Our position
AI-Accelerated. Engineer-Owned. Production-Ready.

We are senior engineers, not vibe coders. We don't generate apps blindly by prompting a chatbot until something runs. We use AI tools & coding agents to accelerate the work senior engineers already do well — scaffolding, refactoring, test generation, review prep.

Every system we ship is architecturally sound, scalable, and production-ready. AI gets us there faster. It does not get us there cheaper on the things that matter: code quality, system design, security.

01  // Architecture & design reviews stay human-led.
02  // Every PR is read line-by-line by a senior engineer.
03  // Security, threat modelling and data privacy are non-negotiable.
04  // Faster timelines — same uncompromised quality bar.

Custom CRMs, ERPs and internal-ops backends.

Sales CRMs. Custom ERPs. Vendor portals. The internal-ops tools one specific team uses every day — built around how that team actually works, not how a SaaS vendor wishes they did. Razorpay, Stripe and Cashfree wired in for payments. MSG91 and Twilio for SMS. Zoho and Tally for accounting. E-invoicing where the GST portal demands it. Boring on purpose. Auditable.

About / 02

01.15+ years of scar tissue. Zero shortcuts.

Larissa InfoTech is a senior engineering studio. The founding team has 15+ years of shipping production systems for banks, exchanges, hospitals, logistics networks and high-growth SaaS — the kind of software where downtime is measured in dollars per second. The company is new. The experience behind it isn't.

We build across every major stack: Python, Go, PHP, Node.js, React, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, AWS, Docker. Every engagement is led by an architect who's been in the trenches — no juniors hidden behind glossy decks, no patterns copy-pasted from yesterday's blog post.

We are not an AI company. We use AI as a development tool — codegen, refactors, test scaffolding, review assistance — to compress timelines without compromising on architecture, security, or code quality. The judgment stays human. The taste stays human.

We pick clients carefully. We work on one project at a time and say no to anything we can't make excellent. And we ship things you can be proud of for years — not the next funding round.

// Philosophy  —  Build like it has to last. Because it does.
Why it matters / 03

Software is easy to start. Hard to keep alive.

The tooling has never been louder or quicker. A working application can now be generated in an afternoon by someone who has never shipped one before. But the gap between “it runs on a laptop” and software that survives real users, real data, real attackers and real regulators has not moved an inch — and that gap is closed by experience, not enthusiasm.

The shortcut path High risk
  • Generated from a prompt. Lightly tested, never broken on purpose.
  • Works in the demo. Buckles the first time real load arrives.
  • No migrations, backups, monitoring or runbooks.
  • Hard-coded secrets. Over-permissive auth. Schemas that paint you into a corner.
  • 3–5× the original cost to put right when the first incident lands.
Symptom of the moment — cheap to start, expensive to live with.
The senior-engineering path What we ship
  • Architecture before code. Schema-first, threat-modelled, written down.
  • Designed for failure. Observed from the first deploy, not the first incident.
  • Migrations, backups, on-call rotation, runbooks — before launch, not after.
  • Every pull request walks past a senior engineer’s eyes. No exceptions.
  • Code the next team can read without cursing yours.
What you get from us, on every engagement — same speed, different ceiling.

We use the same AI tools — heavily, every day. They make us faster. They do not make us shallower. The judgment, the system design, the security review, the taste — those still come from fifteen years of building things and watching them break.

Services / 04

What we build, and how we build it.

Six practice areas, one team. Pick a card or send us the messy problem behind it — we'll tell you which applies.

01 / Flagship

Custom web
applications
built right.

Dashboards, admin tools, customer portals, multi-tenant SaaS. Type-safe end to end. Tested at the boundaries. Architected so the next team can move fast on it.

ReactNext.jsTypeScriptPostgreSQLRedis
02 / Crypto

Custodial crypto platforms

OTC desks, per-user deposit-address generation, automated hot/cold sweep flows, programmatic escrow with dispute resolution. Centralised crypto operations — hardened for production, not on-chain smart contracts.

BSC · TronCustodyOTC · Escrow
03 / Enterprise

Enterprise portals

SSO, RBAC, audit trails, the works. Built so legal doesn't lose sleep and your ops team actually uses it.

SAML · OIDCSOC2-aware
04 / Backend

API & backend systems

Event-driven services, durable queues, real-time pipelines. Boring on purpose. Bulletproof in practice.

Python · Go · NodePostgreSQL · Mongo
05 / Infra

Cloud deployment

IaC, observability, cost discipline. Your platform on AWS or GCP without the surprise October bill.

AWSDockerTerraform
06 / Velocity

Rapid prototyping — in days, not quarters.

Pitch-ready, click-through, real-data prototypes for founders, product teams, investor decks. Use them, then throw them away. Or don't — we build prototypes that can survive contact with users.

Process / 05

How we move from idea to production.

A five-step rhythm sharpened across the founding team's careers. AI tooling shows up in step three — but the surrounding discipline is what makes it work.

Discovery to launch typically runs 7–14 weeks. Scale is optional and monthly.
STEP 01  ·  1–2 weeks

Discover

Two-week immersion. We sit with your team, audit the existing codebase if there is one, map the data, and write the smallest possible spec that will not lie to us in week six.

STEP 02  ·  1–2 weeks

Architect

The boring document that prevents the expensive mistakes. Schemas, system diagrams, failure modes, deploy topology, observability strategy. Reviewed with your stakeholders before a single line of production code is written.

STEP 03  ·  4–10 weeks

Build AI-Accelerated

We ship measurably faster than the old way. AI handles scaffolds, refactors, test coverage and review prep — but every PR walks through a senior engineer's hands before it lands. Speed without cutting corners on architecture or security.

STEP 04  ·  1–2 weeks

Ship

Staged rollouts, feature flags, dashboards lit up, on-call rotation handed off cleanly. We don't celebrate at launch — we celebrate at week four with no incidents.

STEP 05  ·  Monthly · optional

Scale

Retainer or staff handoff. Performance tuning, cost optimization, capacity planning. We stay long enough to make ourselves un-needed.

FAQ / 08

The questions
we hear most.

Asked before the first call by almost everyone. Answered honestly here so we can spend the call on your actual problem.

How fast can you start?
Discovery sprints usually kick off two to three weeks after a signed SOW — we work on a small number of engagements at any time, so slots are scheduled, not improvised. Emergency or production-rescue work is triaged within 48 hours.
Will I work with the same engineers throughout?
Yes. The architect named in your SOW stays on through every phase from Discover to Scale. There are no juniors hidden in the bill, and you will never be passed to a delivery manager forwarding tickets.
Do you work on-site, or fully remote?
Remote-first. We're based in Mumbai but work asynchronously with clients across India, the EU, the UK and the US. Mumbai is our registered office — not somewhere your team needs to fly to. Our working hours cover IST natively, with overlap into EU mornings and US evenings. We travel for kick-offs or critical workshops only when the SOW provides for it.
Can you join my existing team, or only standalone projects?
Both. Standalone build-and-ship engagements are our default, but we also do embedded retainers where we sit inside your team and bring senior bandwidth. Embedded engagements run a minimum of three months.
What if I don't have a spec yet?
Most of our clients don't. That's exactly what the Discover phase is for: two weeks of immersion, code audits, data mapping, and the smallest possible written spec that won't lie to us in week six. Discovery is a fixed-price sprint — you can stop there if it isn't a fit.
Do you take on retainers after launch?
Yes. Most engagements end with a Scale phase: performance tuning, cost optimisation, on-call rotation, and a clean handoff to your in-house team. We stay long enough to make ourselves un-needed — not a day longer.
What if it's not a good fit?
We'll say so on the first call and refer you to someone better. We pick clients carefully because we want the work to be excellent — saying no early is part of that. No hard feelings, no follow-up pitch.

Our pledge

Confidence, backed by structure.

We believe in what we build — and we structure every engagement so you can prove it before you commit further. Three protections you get by default, on every project:

01

Discovery is fully refundable.

If at the end of the Discovery sprint you don't want to continue — for any reason — the engagement ends and we refund the Discovery fee in full. You keep the deliverables either way.

02

Every milestone is acceptance-gated.

We invoice only after you sign off on a milestone in writing. If we miss the bar and can't fix it inside the agreed cure period, the engagement closes without final payment.

03

Bespoke terms agreed up-front.

Beyond Discovery, kill-fees and refund terms are written into your SOW — never improvised after the fact. We've signed enough flavors to know which work.
