CTO-as-a-Service Company in India

Techglock is a CTO-as-a-Service company headquartered in Mohali, Punjab — building software for Indian unicorns, BFSI majors, healthcare networks, and global enterprises since 2014. Our senior engineering teams work in your timezone, ship in two-week sprints, and stay accountable from MVP through production hardening. Every engagement is led by a named tech lead, not a faceless project manager. We work across Tier-1 and Tier-2 Indian cities and serve clients in Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, and Ahmedabad, with senior delivery oversight from our Mohali office.

Service Overview

For growth-stage companies, the timing of hiring a full-time CTO is one of the most consequential decisions a founder makes. Hire too early and you're paying £200K+ for a role that doesn't have enough scope to retain top talent. Hire too late and technical decisions made without senior oversight create compounding architectural debt that costs three times as much to fix later. Techglock's CTO-as-a-Service engagement fills this gap — providing genuinely senior technical leadership on a fractional basis, scaled to match your stage and budget.

What a Fractional CTO Does: We provide technical vision and architecture decision-making, engineering team assessment and hiring support, engineering management practices (sprint cadence, code review culture, documentation standards), vendor and technology partner evaluation, and board/investor-facing technology narrative. We become a genuine member of your leadership team — understanding your business deeply enough to make technology decisions that are commercially sensible, not just technically elegant.

Investor-Ready Technology: For companies approaching funding rounds, a credible technology narrative and well-architected codebase can meaningfully impact valuation. We prepare technology due diligence materials, address concerns raised by technical investors, and help founders communicate their technology strategy with the confidence and specificity that sophisticated investors require.

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions clients ask most often before kicking off a cto-as-a-service engagement.

How long does a cto-as-a-service engagement take?
Most cto-as-a-service projects ship within 8–14 weeks. Typical timeline: 1 week for discovery and scoping, 1–2 weeks for solution design, 4–8 weeks of agile delivery sprints, and 1–2 weeks for QA, security review, and go-live. We give you a fixed timeline before any work starts — no surprises three months in.
How much does cto-as-a-service cost with Techglock?
Pricing depends on scope, but most cto-as-a-service engagements land between $15,000 and $80,000 depending on complexity, integrations, and team size. We offer both fixed-price and time-and-materials models. Every quote breaks down per-deliverable so you can scale up or scale back before committing.
Do you sign NDAs before discussing the project?
Yes — request a mutual NDA when you book the discovery call and we send it within the hour. We have signed thousands of NDAs across regulated industries (healthcare, finance, defence) and never had a confidentiality dispute.
What does your cto-as-a-service team look like?
Every engagement gets a dedicated squad: a senior tech lead, 2–4 engineers, a project manager, and (where relevant) a designer or DevOps engineer. No offshore handoffs, no junior-only teams, no rotating staff. The people you meet on day one are the people who ship the project.
What happens after the CTO-as-a-Service project launches?
Every engagement includes 30 days of free hypercare (bug fixes, performance tuning, user-feedback iteration). Beyond that, we offer monthly retainers from $1,500/month covering monitoring, security patches, dependency updates, and a fixed pool of iteration hours. Roughly 80% of clients move onto a retainer after launch.
Who owns the code and IP we build together?
You do — completely. Once final invoice is settled, all source code, designs, infrastructure-as-code, and CI/CD pipelines transfer to your accounts. No vendor lock-in, no licensing fees on code we wrote, no hidden escrow.
