How We Deliver

Small Teams. Big Outcomes.

We don't rent you developers. We give you cross-functional Pods — small, focused teams of 4-8 engineers that own delivery end-to-end. Built-in QA, process, and accountability. You focus on what to build; we handle how.

Why Pods Work

More Than Just Developers

Traditional outsourcing gives you people. Pods give you outcomes. Here's why the model works.

Outcome Ownership

Pods own delivery from start to finish. No finger-pointing between teams or handoff delays. One team, one accountability.

Cross-Functional by Design

Every Pod includes engineers, QA, and tech leadership. No waiting for resources from other teams.

Fast Ramp-Up

Pods come pre-formed and battle-tested. They hit the ground running in 2-3 weeks, not months.

Built-In Quality

Code reviews, automated testing, and quality gates are part of how Pods work. Quality isn't an afterthought.

Scalable Model

Add more Pods as needs grow. Our model handles expansion without reinventing processes each time.

Continuous Improvement

Pods run retrospectives and track metrics. They get better over time, not complacent.

Pod Types

Choose the Right Pod for Your Needs

Different work requires different expertise. We offer pre-configured Pod types optimized for specific outcomes, plus custom configurations for unique needs.

Feature Pod

How It Works

From Discovery to Delivery

Getting a productive Pod is faster than you think. Here's what the journey looks like.

Discovery & Team Design

We understand your needs, technology stack, and culture. Then we design the right Pod composition.

Pod Formation

We assemble your dedicated team from our talent pool—engineers who match your tech requirements and working style.

Onboarding & Integration

Your Pod integrates with your tools, codebases, and processes. They join your Slack, attend your standups.

Sprint Delivery

Using our SPARK™ framework, your Pod delivers working software every sprint with demos, reviews, and metrics.

Continuous Improvement

Regular retrospectives, velocity tracking, and quality metrics ensure your Pod keeps getting better.

Pods vs. Staff Augmentation vs. Freelancers

Understanding the differences helps you choose the right model for your needs.

Not sure which is right for you? Most companies benefit from the Pod model for core development work. Staff augmentation works when you need specific skills for a defined period.

Common Questions

Pod Teams FAQ

Everything you need to know about working with Pod teams.

What is a Pod in software development?

A Pod is a small, cross-functional team of 4-8 engineers that works as a self-sufficient unit. Unlike traditional team structures where you hire individual developers, a Pod includes all the roles needed for end-to-end delivery: engineers, QA, tech lead, and often a delivery manager. Pods own outcomes, not just tasks.

How is a Pod different from staff augmentation?

Staff augmentation gives you individuals who work under your direct management. You're responsible for coordination, process, and quality. A Pod is a complete delivery unit with built-in processes (SPARK™ framework), quality gates, and accountability. You focus on what to build; the Pod handles how to deliver it.

How long does it take to get a Pod productive?

Typically 2-3 weeks from contract signing. Week 1 covers team formation and onboarding. Weeks 2-3 focus on environment setup, codebase familiarization, and initial sprint planning. By week 4, most Pods are delivering working software.

Can I scale Pods up or down?

Yes, Pods are designed to be flexible. You can add team members to an existing Pod, spin up additional Pods for new workstreams, or scale down when project needs decrease. This flexibility is built into our engagement model.

Which Pod type should I choose?

Choose Feature Pod for product development and new features. Choose Platform & SRE Pod for infrastructure, DevOps, and cloud work. Choose Data & AI Pod for data platforms, analytics, and ML. Choose QA & SET Pod for test automation and quality transformation. For unique needs, we can configure a Custom Pod. Not sure? Start with a discovery call—we'll help you decide.

Do Pods work in my timezone?

Yes. While our teams are based in India, we ensure 4-6 hours of overlap with US timezones. Pods attend your standups, are available for meetings during your working hours, and communicate asynchronously when needed.

What if I need individual developers instead of a full Pod?

We offer dedicated developers through our Staff Augmentation model for teams that need specific skills without a full Pod. Check our Hire Developers page for more details. However, we believe Pods deliver better outcomes for most use cases.
