About
An IT consultancy that stays on the hook.
Manish S Consulting is an independent technology consultancy based in Pune. We build software, automation and AI — and run the infrastructure underneath it — for businesses that want one accountable partner instead of several.
Most technology problems in a growing business aren't really technology problems. They're ownership problems.
The deploy process only one person understands. The cloud account nobody has opened in a year. The manual workflow that stops dead when someone takes leave.
That work never wins the priority argument against shipping features, so it piles up until it becomes the reason features stop shipping. It is also well suited to an outside team on a fixed scope: bounded, measurable, and light on product context.
That is the gap we fill. We build the applications, AI features and automation, and we run the cloud, pipelines and monitoring beneath them. Holding both means that when something breaks, there is nobody else to point at.
What we do
Six services, one team.
Build it, connect it, host it, keep it running. Most clients start with one service and grow into others as they learn what we're like to work with.
AI Solutions
We build AI features that solve a named problem and can be measured: assistants trained on your own documentation, document processing that removes manual data entry, and LLM features inside your existing product.
Automation
We remove the repetitive work: connecting systems that do not talk to each other, replacing spreadsheet handoffs, and building the internal tools your team has been asking for.
Web Development
Websites, web applications, and APIs built properly the first time: fast, accessible, tested, and deployed through a pipeline so the second release is as safe as the first.
Cloud
Architecture, migration, and cost work on AWS — with everything defined in Terraform so environments are reproducible and changes get reviewed like code.
DevOps
Replace the manual release ritual with a pipeline that builds, tests, and deploys on merge — with monitoring that tells you something is wrong before a customer does.
IT Solutions & Support
Ongoing technical capacity for businesses without an in-house engineering lead: maintenance, monitoring, upgrades, security hygiene, and someone to ask before decisions get made.
Principles
How we work.
01
Own the outcome
We take responsibility for the result, not just the task list. If something we delivered breaks, it is ours to fix.
02
Keep it simple
We choose boring, proven technology over clever novelty. Systems your team can understand are systems your team can keep running.
03
Say it plainly
Written scope, fixed prices and a short update every Friday. No jargon, no surprises, no invoices you did not expect.
04
Leave you stronger
Every engagement ends with documentation and a walkthrough, so you are never dependent on us to understand your own systems.
Process
From first call to handover.
01 · 30 minutes, free
Discovery call
We talk through the problem, the constraints, and what you have already tried. If we are not the right fit for it, we will say so on this call rather than three weeks into a project.
02 · 2-3 days
Scope and proposal
A written proposal: the problem as we understand it, what gets delivered, the timeline, and a fixed price. If the estimate turns out to be wrong, that is ours to absorb, not a change request.
03 · Varies by project
Delivery
Work lands in visible increments with a short written update every Friday — what shipped, what is next, what is blocked. No status meetings unless you want them.
04 · Included, not extra
Handover and support
Documentation your team can act on, a live walkthrough, and two weeks of support afterwards at no cost. Ongoing maintenance is available but never assumed.
Promises
Commitments, in writing.
Fixed price means fixed price
If the work takes longer than estimated, you pay what was agreed. Scope changes you ask for are quoted separately and never applied silently.
You own everything
Code, configuration, and documentation transfer to you on final payment and live in your accounts throughout. Written into the contract.
Two weeks of support, included
After handover, questions and fixes on what we built are free for two weeks. It is part of finishing the job, not a support package.
When we're probably not the right fit
You need 24/7 on-call cover
This is a deliberately lean consultancy. We can design a rotation and write the runbooks it depends on, but we cannot be the rotation.
You need a large team starting Monday
We take on a small number of projects at a time so each one gets proper attention. If you need ten engineers immediately, you need a bigger firm.
You want the cheapest possible quote
We are not the cheapest option and do not try to be. If price is the deciding factor, there are plenty of firms that will win on it.
You want a rubber stamp
If the decision is already made and the engagement exists to justify it, we will be an expensive irritation. Our findings go where the evidence goes.
Desktop and end-user IT support
Laptops, printers, and office networks are not what we do. We work on the systems your business runs on, not the workstations it runs from.
