An engineering consultancy, not a body shop.
Founded in 2016 in New Delhi by Sachin Rana. We work with technical founders and product teams to ship production software — cloud, AI, IoT and full-stack — that survives its first compliance audit, its first on-call rotation, and its first enterprise pilot.

Industries we’ve shipped to
Cross-industry depth is what makes us useful. We bring patterns from logistics into healthtech, and from healthtech into industrial automation. The frameworks differ; the engineering discipline does not.
- Industrial automation
- Smart buildings & BMS
- Hardware + cloud
- Logistics & supply chain
- Healthtech & digital health
- B2B SaaS
What clients say
Anonymized. Names available on request under NDA — we don’t publish logos without explicit written permission.
“We hired Ideaxa to get us through our first SOC2 audit. They rewrote our infra-as-code, hardened IAM, set up an evidence pipeline, and sat in the auditor calls. We cleared Type II without a single critical finding.”
“Sachin embedded with us for 6 months as our fractional CTO. He wrote the architecture, hired our first three senior engineers, and was in the room when we closed our seed round. When we were ready for a full-time CTO, he ran the loop and onboarded them.”
“The MQTT broker they run is the only reason we can test our edge devices before shipping to a customer. We’ve tried AWS IoT Core, HiveMQ Cloud, and a self-managed EMQX. The Ideaxa broker has the lowest latency of the four.”

How we work
The boring, important parts of how an engagement actually runs.
- Named senior on every engagement
- You know who is writing your code. We do not rotate staff mid-project.
- Written weekly changelog
- Every Friday. What shipped, what is next, what is blocked.
- Source handed over milestone by milestone
- Not in a final delivery. As we go. You own it the moment it is written.
- Runbooks with the final payment
- Not slides. Real runbooks, written for the on-call engineer and tested in a dry run.
- 30-day defect window
- If we shipped something broken we fix it. No change order, no invoice.
- Blameless post-mortems
- On every incident. Including ours. Including the ones we caused.
Compliance & security posture
- Internal
- SOC 2 Type II readiness, GDPR-compliant data handling, and an ISO 27001-aligned ISMS. Annual third-party pentest of our own infrastructure.
- For clients
- We have shipped against all twelve frameworks listed on the commercials page, from SOC 2 to the DPDP Act to the EU AI Act to ISA/IEC 62443.
- People
- Every engineer signs an NDA, an IP-assignment agreement, and the firm’s security policy before touching a client repo.
- Data
- Client data is never used for training, never shared with third parties, and never leaves the region the contract specifies.
