Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need a full-time CTO or a Fractional CTO?
If your company is between seed stage and ₹50 Cr revenue, a full-time executive CTO often costs ₹40L–₹80L+ annually and may be under-utilized on strategic tasks. A Fractional CTO provides the senior strategic architecture, vendor governance, and high-stakes decisions at 20-30% of the cost.
How do you evaluate AI feasibility for our operations?
We focus strictly on high-impact, low-hallucination automation (document extraction, automated customer support triage, sales research enrichment, and data reconciliation) rather than speculative experiments.
