// how it works

From requirement to a working team in days.

Share your requirements

Tell us what you're building and the stack you need. We make sure there's a genuine fit before anything else.

Agree on scope & model

We pick the right engagement — developer or team — set timelines, stack and whether a tech-lead is needed.

Onboard the team

Paperwork protects your IP, we fill roles from our trained pool, and your engineers start shipping fast.

// the pivot

What AI-powered engineers means for you.

Not a buzzword. Our engineers work AI-native — and that changes the three things you care about.

  • ›
    Faster delivery. AI-augmented workflows mean more shipped per sprint — the same accountable engineer, moving quicker.
  • ›
    Lower cost per outcome. You pay for one developer but get the leverage of modern AI tooling baked into how they work.
  • ›
    AI built into your product. The team that knows how to use AI is also the team that knows how to ship it — copilots, RAG, agents, integrations.
  • ›
    Still your team. Same direct communication, same on-time delivery, same IP protection — AI accelerates the work, it doesn't replace the relationship.
// transparent pricing

See the price before the call.

No quote-on-request games. One clear monthly rate per engineer — recruitment, payroll and admin all handled by us.

Need a full squad? Team-as-a-Service adds a tech-lead/PM — priced per team.

Why a flat, published rate?

Because the old way — "contact us for a quote" — wastes your time and ours. You should be able to budget a build before you ever pick up the phone.

For non-technical founders we add a tech-lead to own architecture; for teams that already know their direction, plug our developers straight in. Either way, you know the number up front.

// about hcode

Valley-grade work, built in a small city.

It started in 2018 when our founder Shashank moved back from New York and saw the talent in his hometown of Karnal — engineers who, with the right mentorship, could ship world-class code without migrating to a metro.

Today we're 40+ engineers, selected through a rigorous process and shaped by hands-on training. We've shipped quality code, on time, to three dozen-plus clients from startups to enterprises — and built relationships strong enough that they keep coming back and referring us.
