Services

What we offer.

Four practice areas. Each engagement is scoped in writing, led by the principal, and ends with something you own outright.

01

Fractional CTO & VP of Engineering

Executive engineering leadership, one to three days a week. For companies that need the judgment of a seasoned technology executive without the full-time seat — or a steady hand holding the org together between full-time hires.

Best for: Seed–Series B startups · founder-led companies · interim leadership gaps

What's included

  • Technology strategy & roadmap — owned, written down, defended
  • Architecture direction — reviews, decisions, and the paper trail
  • Engineering hiring — sourcing, interview loops, closing senior candidates
  • Org design & delivery process — releases, on-call, sprint cadence
  • Vendor & partner negotiation — contracts, SLAs, integration terms
  • Board & investor support — reporting, diligence prep, honest numbers

02

Platform & Integration Engineering

The firm's deepest specialty: making independent systems behave like one product. API platforms, partner ecosystems, and the unglamorous machinery — webhooks, queues, retries, reconciliation — that enterprise integrations live or die by.

Best for: SaaS with partner ecosystems · commerce & marketplace platforms · API-first products

What's included

  • API design & partner-facing platforms — specs, versioning, developer experience
  • Third-party system integrations — payments, ordering, logistics, ERP
  • Sync pipelines at scale — catalog, order, and inventory data flows
  • Partner certification programs — sandboxes, test suites, onboarding gates
  • Legacy & on-prem connectors — when the system that matters lives in a back office
  • Reliability engineering — retries, idempotency, reconciliation, monitoring

03

Zero-to-One Product Builds

A scoped engagement that ends with a production system, not a prototype. Prayantr owns discovery, architecture, the build itself, and a clean handover your own engineers will thank you for inheriting.

Best for: Funded ideas without a team yet · internal tools · new product lines inside existing companies

What's included

  • Discovery & technical scoping — what to build, what to skip, in writing
  • System architecture & data modeling — built for the second year, not the demo
  • Full-stack build — Ruby on Rails and modern JavaScript, end to end
  • Cloud infrastructure & CI/CD — deployable from day one
  • Launch & monitoring — runbooks, alerting, zero-downtime releases
  • Handover & support window — documentation, walkthroughs, a warranty period

04

Team Building & Engineering Audits

An honest outside eye on the code, the architecture, and the organization. For founders, boards, and investors who need the truth before the next hire, the next raise, or the next rewrite.

Best for: Pre-investment diligence · post-acquisition assessment · teams that feel slower than they should be

What's included

  • Technical due diligence — for investors and acquirers, with a written verdict
  • Codebase & architecture audits — what's sound, what's debt, what's dangerous
  • Scalability & reliability reviews — before the traffic arrives
  • Hiring pipeline design — role definitions, interview loops, scorecards
  • Process design — release management, QA, incident response
  • Leadership coaching — for the engineering lead who's about to become a manager

Engagement

Three ways to work together.

I

Advisory

A few hours a month

Architecture reviews, build-vs-buy calls, vendor and integration-partner evaluations, hiring loops, and technical due diligence. A senior voice in the room when the decision is expensive.

II

Fractional Leadership

One to three days a week

Your CTO or VP of Engineering, embedded. Roadmaps, org design, delivery cadence, vendor negotiations, and the hard conversations — without the full-time compensation package.

III

The Build

Scoped, zero to one

Prayantr owns delivery end-to-end: scoping, architecture, the build itself, and a clean handover. You get a production system your own engineers will thank you for inheriting.

The Free Build

One small build, on the house.

Every so often, an idea is interesting enough that we'll build it for free — a small proof of concept or an early MVP, done properly. It keeps the workshop sharp between engagements, and it gives a good idea a real chance to exist.

01

Pitch

Send a short note: what it is, who it's for, and why now. A few paragraphs is plenty — clarity beats length.

02

Review

We read every pitch. Selection is entirely at our discretion — interesting problems and sharp thinking win.

03

Build

If it catches our eye, we'll get back to you and scope a small, free build together — in writing, like any engagement.

Pitch your idea

A pitch creates no obligation on either side — and if you don't hear from us, the idea simply didn't fit our bench right now. Keep building anyway.

The Principal

One founder. Two decades in the craft.

Amit Solanki, Founder & CEO of Prayantr Technologies

Amit Solanki

Founder & CEO, Prayantr Technologies

Amit founded Prayantr in 2013 as the vehicle for his consulting work, and has run it alongside a career at the sharp end of engineering leadership: SVP of Engineering at a venture-backed enterprise SaaS company in New York; Lead Software Architect at a global workspace platform through its steepest growth years; and before that, one of India's earliest Ruby on Rails engineers at the country's first Rails company.

Every Prayantr engagement gets the principal — not a bench. The judgment that comes from two decades of shipping enterprise platforms, negotiating integrations with some of the largest software vendors in the world, and building engineering teams from a single developer up. The full career record — numbers included — lives at amitsolanki.com.

Internship

Every workshop trains the next pair of hands.

Prayantr takes a small number of engineering interns each year. Interested final-year students and fresh graduates are invited to apply.

This is not a fetch-the-coffee internship. Interns at Prayantr work on real production systems, with their code reviewed line by line — directly by the founder, with no layers in between. You'll learn how software is actually built: the architecture decisions, the testing, the deployment, and the discipline that keeps systems alive at scale.

The bar is fundamentals and curiosity, not a perfect résumé. If you can reason about a problem and you've built anything you're proud of, we want to see it.

What you'll learn
  • Ruby on Rails & modern JavaScript — taught the way production teams use them
  • API & integration engineering — the firm's specialty, from day one
  • The full lifecycle — version control, code review, testing, CI/CD, deployment, monitoring
  • How engineers think — scoping, estimating, debugging, and asking the right questions
Who
Final-year students (B.Tech / B.E. / MCA / M.Sc.) and fresh graduates
Where
Remote
Duration
Three to six months
Intake
A few seats a year — small by design, so every intern gets real attention

Email a short note about yourself and something you've built — a repository link beats a résumé.

Begin

Tell us what you're building.

A short note is enough — what you're building, where it hurts, and what "done" looks like. You'll hear back from Amit directly, usually within a business day.
