Software outsourcing
for Australian teams
Senior engineers in Kochi, India, building and running software for Australian companies.
Working with an Indian team
from Australia
TechMaven is a software engineering studio in Kochi, India, with clients in Australia, Singapore, the UAE, the UK, Europe, and the US. Australian companies hire us to build and run their software: web platforms, mobile apps, SaaS products, AI features, enterprise systems, and the cloud infrastructure they run on.
Sydney and Melbourne are four and a half hours ahead of Kochi, five and a half during daylight saving. Your afternoon overlaps our working day, so there is shared time every day for calls and reviews.
Our Services
Clients across these services include Tesco Retail Media, Prostate Cancer UK, Neugo, and Wealth Analytica.
Why Australian teams choose us
Afternoon overlap
On the east coast, your afternoon is our morning. Perth is only two and a half hours ahead of Kochi, so teams there share most of the working day.
Written-first delivery
Scope, technical questions and decisions are answered in writing within one business day, so nothing depends on catching someone on a call.
The same engineers throughout
Annual engineer retention is 98 percent, so the person who starts your project is almost always the person who finishes it.
More senior hours for the budget
A senior engineer in India costs 40 to 60 percent less than the Australian equivalent, so the same budget pays for more senior time.
You own the code
Our master services agreement assigns code and IP to you by default. If a project needs an NDA, we sign it before discovery starts.
Start with a paid pilot
Most of our long-term clients started with a four-to-eight-week pilot and then moved to a dedicated team or milestone-based contract.
Questions Australian teams ask before they start.
How much overlap is there with Australian working hours?
Sydney and Melbourne are four and a half hours ahead of Kochi, five and a half during daylight saving, and Perth is two and a half hours ahead. The Australian afternoon falls inside the Kochi working day. Outside that window we work written-first, so decisions and progress are documented instead of waiting for a call.
What engagement models do you offer?
Fixed-scope projects for clearly bounded builds, time-and-materials dedicated teams for ongoing product work, and milestone-based hybrid contracts for platform builds that run over several quarters. Most long-term clients begin with a four-to-eight-week paid pilot.
How is pricing set?
We quote per project after discovery, not from a per-hour rate card. Cost depends on scope, complexity, and engagement model.
Who owns the code?
You do. Code and IP belong to the client by default in our master services agreement. We sign an NDA before discovery on any project that needs one, and we support escrow arrangements and on-premise repositories for sensitive engagements.
Do you work with Australian companies?
Yes. Our clients are in Australia, Singapore, the UAE, the UK, Europe, the US, and India. The case studies on this page show the kind of platforms we build and run.
How should we evaluate an outsourcing partner?
Start with who will actually do the work, how they communicate, and who owns the code. Our guide to choosing a software outsourcing partner walks through the checks, and there are twelve questions to ask any vendor.
Who will we talk to?
Engineering leadership, from the first message. Describe what you want to build and you will get a written technical reply within one business day.
