PAI Technologies / About
A small studio building AI & hardware that ships.
We are a Delhi-based product and development agency, founded in 2024 by Ashwini Kumar Jha and Gyanender Jha. We work alongside teams worldwide to take ambitious AI ideas, and ambitious hardware ideas, from pilot to production in three to four weeks.
Clients we have shipped for
01How we work
Senior engineers. Short cycles. Production-grade.
PAI Technologies was founded to fix a simple problem: most agencies treat AI as a prototype, and most prototypes never see production. We don't. We staff senior engineers on every engagement, and every project ships behind a real production pipeline: Docker, CI / CD, monitoring, GDPR-compliant infrastructure where it's needed.
We work on two practices side by side. Software covers AI & LLM integration, full-stack development, agentic automation, computer vision, EdTech platforms and compliance tooling. Hardware covers custom PCB design, BOM engineering, manufacturing packages and the prototype-to-V1 conversions that bring physical products to life.
Across both practices, we keep the team small. That's how we keep cycles short, and that's how we land 4.9 stars across thirty-plus engagements.

02How we think
Four operating principles.
Why teams worldwide keep coming back.
01
Pilot to production
We design every engagement around a working production deployment. Pilots that don't ship are not finished.
02
Compliance is the floor
GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2 and PCI-DSS are part of how we architect, not a Phase 2 afterthought.
03
Small teams, senior hands
Every engagement is staffed with senior engineers. No junior hand-offs, no agency overhead.
04
Source-handover by default
You own the code, the schematics, the KiCad files. Full source handover at the end of every project.
03Leadership
Founder-led. Engineer-run.
A small leadership team that stays close to every engagement, no juniors handed your work, no agency middle layer.

05Common questions
Is PAI Technologies the right fit?
What buyers ask before they hire a studio.
Is PAI Technologies a legitimate company?
Yes. PAI Technologies is a Delhi-based studio founded in 2024 that has delivered 30+ projects. It holds Upwork Top Rated Plus status with a 4.9 / 5 rating across 5,000+ logged hours. Clients include NewsUSA Inc. (US), M-agi-c Solutions (Switzerland) and MythraCore Ltd (UK), and the products PAI built are live and checkable, including the NewsUSA media placement marketplace and the Gordon app on the App Store and Google Play. The leadership team is listed with public profiles on the About page.
How is PAI Technologies different from Toptal, Turing or Accenture?
Toptal and Turing are talent networks that place individual developers with a client, and Accenture is a global consultancy built for large enterprise programmes. PAI Technologies is a small senior studio that delivers a scoped build end to end: one accountable lead engineer, a three-to-four-week pilot cycle, a written fixed-price estimate within one business day and full source handover. Teams that need a single contractor or a very large programme are usually better served elsewhere; teams that need a working AI or hardware pilot in production quickly are a good fit.
Can PAI Technologies work with enterprise and regulated clients?
Yes. PAI Technologies runs a production stack on eu-central-2 (Zurich) for GDPR data residency and designs for GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2 and PCI-DSS requirements from day one rather than as an afterthought. Compliance scope is agreed on the first call and written into the brief, and every engagement ends with a full source and documentation handover.
Where are you based, and who do you serve?
PAI Technologies is based in Delhi, India, and serves teams worldwide across the US, Europe and India. Most engagements are async-first with a weekly written demo.
Want to talk through an idea?
We respond to every inbound within one business day. Most engagements scope in a single 30-minute call.
