RaftLabs was founded in 2015 by two hands-on co-founders. The team builds across AI, automation, mobile, and custom software. Based in India and Ireland, serving clients across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific.
Both founders stayed technical. They're in the kick-off, the sprint review, and the post-mortem. Most firms this size push founders into sales. We didn't. Clients notice.
Ashit Vora
Co-founder
Ashit leads product strategy and delivery at RaftLabs. He leads every engagement by understanding what's actually broken before a line of code is written. With a decade building SaaS and mobile products, he focuses on shipping working software quickly, keeping scope tight, and making sure clients see measurable progress every week.
Nirav heads growth and partnerships at RaftLabs. He starts by understanding the business problem, not the feature list. He works with founders and business leaders on connecting what we build to revenue, partnerships, and real business results.
Engineers, designers, and product managers who own what they build. Distributed across three continents. The same people you meet on day one stay with you through launch and beyond.
How we work
Remote by design. Accountable by default.
RaftLabs has been remote-first since the start. We write decisions down, protect focused work, and expect the person closest to a problem to own the result.
01
Write it down.
Assumptions, decisions, open questions: all documented. Writing forces clarity. When context switches hands (and it always does), nothing gets lost.
02
Ask, don't assume.
Unclear on something? We say so. A five-minute question early beats a three-week redirect later. You pay for the solution, not for us figuring out what the problem was.
03
Meetings that earn their place.
No catch-up calls that could've been a Slack message. We sync when a decision needs making. Otherwise, we build.
04
Own the whole thing.
We don't ship tickets. We own outcomes. If something breaks after launch, we fix it. That's not a new statement of work. That's what ownership means.
05
Deep work, async by default.
Our best engineering happens in long, uninterrupted blocks. Four focused hours produces more than eight fragmented ones. You can see it in what ships.
06
Learn on our own time.
We stay current so you don't pay a learning-curve premium. Every relevant model, tool, or approach gets tested before we recommend it. You get the benefit.

Common questions
A senior team led by the two co-founders, who scope every engagement personally and stay involved through delivery. The people you meet on the first call are the people in the room when decisions get made.
We were founded in 2015 and operate from India and Ireland. Most of our clients are in North America, Europe, and Australia, so our working hours are built around overlap with those time zones.
50+ engineers and designers, plus the two co-founders. Big enough to ship production systems, small enough that nothing gets lost in a handoff chain.
Most clients stay 3+ years because the team that built their product keeps owning it: maintenance, iteration, and new features without re-onboarding a new vendor every cycle.
