🧠 Why Enterprises Pay ₹2.5L–₹15L/Month or even more for Tech — And Why It’s Smarter Than Hiring In-House
Hiring engineers is hard. Building the right team is harder.
Maintaining momentum across design, backend, frontend, devops, QA, analytics, and deployment?
That’s an entire company.
Or… you could work with Ciphers.
We’re not a dev shop. We’re the tech team you wish you had in-house — but faster, smarter, and ready to scale.
💼 Why Enterprises Work With Us
Most of our clients don’t come to us for just one project.
They partner with us month-on-month because:
They need consistent product development — not just MVPs
Their tech needs evolve, and so should the team
They’d rather skip hiring headaches, attrition, and salary bloat
They want speed without compromising quality
For a fraction of the cost of building an in-house team, they get a full-stack product crew — engineers, product thinkers, UI/UX designers, devops, and more.
💰 So what does it cost?
Most of our retainers range from ₹2.5L to ₹15L/month, depending on scope, velocity, and team size.
For that price, you’re getting:
A dedicated engineering pod that acts like your internal team
Weekly iterations, real-time communication, and full transparency
Infrastructure management, security, and scaling handled
No HR, no payroll, no hand-holding — just results
Whether you’re a funded startup scaling fast, or an enterprise replacing slow-moving legacy processes, we adapt to your structure and move at your speed.
🧠 Why not just build an internal team?
Sure, you can. But here’s what it usually looks like:
In-House Team | Ciphers | |
|---|---|---|
Hiring time | 2–4 months | 1 week |
Cost | ₹40L–₹1Cr/year | Starts at ₹30L/year |
Flexibility | Fixed roles | Dynamic team composition |
Speed | Slower start | Ship-ready on day 1 |
Overhead | HR, payroll, benefits | None |
Risk | High attrition | Zero internal churn |
🚀 Plug us in. Build like you’ve already hired your dream team.
We’re built for product-minded companies who need momentum — not micromanagement.
Let’s cut the fluff. If you have a vision and the need for a real tech team, talk to us.
We’ll bring the stack, the speed, and the stability.
👉 Book a call — Let’s build something better.
