What we deliver

Everything in the box.

Comprehensive scope — designed to remove the gaps where most engagements typically slip.

  • 01

    Discovery & shaping

    Domain interviews, problem framing, regulator review and target-architecture design before a line of code. We surface scope risk before we sign the build.

  • 02

    Engineering & build

    Long-lived senior pods, pull-request discipline, CI/CD and observability from day one. Working software shipped every two weeks.

  • 03

    QA, security & performance

    Functional, integration, load and security testing on every change. SOC 2 / ISO controls baked into the SDLC, not bolted on after launch.

  • 04

    Launch & migration

    Staged go-lives with parallel-run safety nets, data migration with deduplication and rollback, regulator-aware change management.

  • 05

    24×7 run mode

    Same team that built it owns incident response, monitoring, patching and continuous improvement under enterprise SLA.

  • 06

    Knowledge & handover

    Architecture decision records, runbooks and your in-house team trained to extend or take over whenever you choose. No vendor lock-in.

Who hires us

Built for the way your team buys.

We've shaped this practice around the patterns we see most — match yours against the list.

  • Banks & lenders

    Tier-2 commercial banks, microfinance institutions, SACCOs, NBFCs and lending platforms across India and Africa.

  • Insurers & brokers

    Carriers, MGAs/MGUs, brokers and aggregators across the UK, India, Middle East and Africa.

  • Scale-ups

    Series B–D companies replacing in-house spaghetti or scaling beyond their MVP architecture.

  • Enterprise IT

    Multi-region enterprises modernising core platforms, often with a 3–5 year roadmap.

  • Government & public

    Public-sector organisations needing audit-ready, regulator-aware platforms for citizen-facing services.

  • AI-first products

    Companies embedding AI/ML into the core product — pricing, fraud, document intelligence, agents.

Service overview

In depth — how this practice runs.

The long-form view of what we build, how we sequence it, and the stacks we run.

We build the systems your business actually runs on

Off-the-shelf software gets you 70% of the way. The remaining 30% — the part your customers see, your operators rely on and your regulators audit — is where most projects fail. We exist to deliver that 30%.

What we deliver

  • Discovery & shaping — domain interviews, problem framing, regulator review, target architecture.
  • Design & prototyping — interactive prototypes validated with your operators before a line of production code is written.
  • Engineering — long-lived teams pairing senior engineers with domain experts; pull request discipline, CI/CD, observability from day one.
  • QA, security & performance — functional, integration, load and security testing on every change.
  • Run — 24×7 support, SLA-backed, owned by the team that built it.

Stacks we ship on

Java/Spring, .NET, Node.js, Python (Django / FastAPI), PHP (Laravel), Go, React, Next.js, React Native, Flutter, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, MS SQL, Kafka, Redis, AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes.

Why customers stay

  • One accountable team from MVP through 5-year-old production.
  • Engineers who have shipped in banking, insurance and CRM — not generalists learning on your dime.
  • Multi-region delivery across India, Kenya, UAE and UK with shared release cadence.
  • 90%+ customer retention since 2016.

When to start

You're starting a new platform, replacing legacy that's slowing you down, or extending a product that's outgrown its current vendor. Talk to us — we'll come back with a sharp first read inside one business day.

Why Redian

What makes us different.

Independent reasons clients pick us over Big-4 firms, boutique agencies and offshore vendors.

  • BFSI heritage since 2016

    Regulator-aware delivery for banks, insurers and lending platforms — we know what RBI, IRDAI, FCA, CBK and CBUAE expect.

  • CMMI Level 3 + ISO 27001

    Process maturity audited by external assessors — not a slogan. Quality bar your auditors can verify.

  • Senior-only pods

    Architects and tech leads on every engagement. No bench-warmers, no learn-on-your-dime juniors fronted as senior.

  • 5-region delivery

    India · Kenya · UAE · UK · USA — one operating model, one accountable lead, time-zone overlap to your HQ.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you wanted to ask before the first call.

Don't see your question? Ask us directly →

How much does custom software development cost?

Most engagements land between $80K and $1.5M depending on scope, team size and timeline. A 3-engineer pod for 3 months sits at the lower end; a multi-year platform build runs higher. We send a fixed estimate after a 30-minute scoping call — no open-ended hourly contracts.

How long does a typical custom software project take?

MVP in 8–12 weeks. A full enterprise platform build is 6–18 months depending on regulatory scope and integrations. We ship working software every 2 weeks regardless of total length, so you see progress continuously and can re-scope between sprints.

What's the difference between custom software and an off-the-shelf product?

Off-the-shelf gets you 70% of generic capability. Custom software is the 30% that's specific to your business — your operators' workflow, your regulator's audit trail, your customers' experience. We typically integrate with off-the-shelf where it makes sense and build custom only where it differentiates you.

Do you handle long-term support after launch?

Yes. We offer 24×7 application support with named senior engineers, SLA-backed incident response and quarterly performance/security reviews. Most of our build clients move to a support retainer at go-live — see our [Application Support & Maintenance](/services/application-support-maintenance) service.

Which industries do you specialise in?

Banking, insurance, lending, AI/ML, CRM/ERP, mobile and SaaS. We have shipped production software in regulated BFSI environments since 2016 across the USA, UK, Africa, the Middle East and India — including engagements that touch RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, CBK, CBUAE and FCA controls.

Will we own the source code and IP?

Yes — full IP transfer is standard in our agreements. The code lives in your Git from day one, runs in your cloud account, and is documented for handover to your in-house team whenever you choose. No vendor lock-in.

Do you sign NDAs before discussing our project?

Yes. We sign mutual NDAs on request before the first detailed scoping conversation. Just ask when you reach out and we'll send our standard NDA — or sign yours.
