Hikarit Labs Private Limited

We build software people actually use

A small independent studio in New Delhi. We design and ship whole products (backend, web, mobile, and AI) for founders and businesses in India and abroad. We build and run our own products too.

/ What we do

One small team across the whole build.

From the first architecture call to a live app in the store, you work with the same people the entire way.

  1. 01

    Backend & APIs

    Clean APIs, sensible data models, and systems that stay maintainable as you grow. Built to carry real load, not just a demo.

    • Django / DRF
    • PostgreSQL
    • Rust
    • Redis
    • Celery
  2. 02

    Web & Mobile

    Responsive web and native-grade mobile for Android and iOS — quick even on budget phones and patchy connections.

    • Next.js
    • React
    • Flutter
    • Kotlin
    • Swift
  3. 03

    AI & Automation

    AI that does a real job — LLM-powered features, assistants, and automation that remove actual busywork.

    • LLM applications
    • RAG
    • Agents
    • Multi-provider
    • Evals
  4. 04

    Infrastructure

    The right build decisions early, then live and stable — hosting, pipelines, and room to scale.

    • DigitalOcean
    • AWS
    • Docker
    • CI/CD
    • nginx
  5. 05

    Security & Privacy

    Authentication done properly, careful data handling, and protection against the common ways applications break.

    • OAuth / OIDC
    • DPDP & GDPR
    • Threat modelling
    • Audits
  6. 06

    Maintenance & Care

    Testing, monitoring, and the follow-through that keeps software healthy long after launch day.

    • Testing
    • Monitoring
    • Support
    • Upgrades

How we approach each of these

/ How we work

A lean process. Working software, early.

You always know what is being built, why, and what it costs — and you see real progress rather than status decks.

  1. 01

    Understand

    We dig into the real problem and the constraints around it — budget, timeline, the team who will inherit it — not just a feature wishlist.

  2. 02

    Decide

    Clear technical choices and a scope you can actually read, sized to your timeline. You will know what we are building, why, and what it costs.

  3. 03

    Build

    Tight iterations with visible progress. Working software in your hands early and often, so course corrections are cheap instead of catastrophic.

  4. 04

    Ship & continue

    Deployed, monitored, and ready to grow — with someone who actually knows the codebase still answering the phone.

/ What we've built

We build for clients, and for ourselves.

The strongest proof we can offer is the products we own and run — live, in real users' hands, built end to end by this team.

Read how each one came about

/ How we think

Four things we keep coming back to.

Hikari is the Japanese word for light. We named the studio after it because the job is the same either way: take something tangled and make it clear.

  • 01

    Space is part of the work

    What you leave out shapes a product as much as what you put in. We argue for the smaller version, because the smaller version is the one that ships and stays understandable.

  • 02

    Subtract before adding

    The best feature request is often a question about why the last three features are not being used. We would rather remove a screen than add one.

  • 03

    Same hands, start to finish

    The people in the first architecture call are the people writing the code, and the people you email when something breaks at eleven at night. A project does not change hands halfway through.

  • 04

    Straight answers

    If your idea does not need what you are asking us to build, we will say so before we invoice for it. We have turned down work we could not do well, and we would rather do that than do it badly.

Have something worth building?

Tell us what you are working on. You will get a straight answer from the person who would actually build it — whether we are a fit, roughly what it takes, and what we would do first. No sales runaround.
