Where I work / Kalyan
Automation for Kalyan businesses
Kalyan businesses tend to have grown faster than their systems: more orders, more staff, and the same workbook that one person has maintained for years. That workbook is usually the first thing worth automating, and the first thing that stops the business when its owner is on leave.
Working in Kalyan
Two stations from Dombivli, so a first visit and a follow-up visit are both easy to arrange around your working day.

How it goes
Step 1
You show me the job
Half an hour, on a call or at your office. Whoever does it today does it once, at their normal speed, while I watch. No requirement document, no brief to write.
Step 2
I tell you whether it is worth it
Some jobs are not. If the honest answer is a better formula, a setting you already have, or simply doing it less often, you get that answer and it costs you nothing.
Step 3
A fixed price, in writing, before anything starts
One number, with what it includes, what it excludes and when it will be ready. It does not move once we begin. Scope changes are a new number you agree to first.
Step 4
Built, handed over, and yours
It runs on your own accounts and infrastructure. You get the code, the credentials and a short written handover — not a black box that only I can open.
Step 5
You pay the rest once it has run
Half to start, half after it has worked for a week on your real data. If it does not do what the quote said, I fix it before that invoice exists.
What it costs
Start here
Automation audit
₹9,999 one-time
Half a day with your team, on site or on a call
A written report within three working days
- We walk three to five processes end to end, with the people who actually do them
- Each one costed: hours a week, who does it, what it costs you a year
- What can be automated, what should not be, and what to fix without code
- Effort and a price band for each, ranked by payback
- Yours to keep, and to take to anyone else for a second quote
The full ₹9,999 comes off your first build if you go ahead within 60 days. If you do not, you still keep the report.
First five clients: The audit is free instead of ₹9,999, and the first build is priced at the bottom of its band. In return I ask for one thing once it has run a month: permission to describe what was built and the hours it saved, with your name on it only if you are happy for it to be.
Book the auditThen the build, at a fixed price
- Quick winReady in 3 to 7 working days
- ₹18,000 – ₹45,000
- Connected moduleTwo to four weeks
- ₹60,000 – ₹1,80,000
- SystemStaged, with a schedule agreed up front
- from ₹2,50,000
Every build is one fixed price, agreed in writing before anything starts, and it does not move once we begin. Half to start, half a week after it is running on your real data.
I take on two builds at a time. That is a real limit, not a sales line — I do this alongside a full-time DevOps job, and a build I cannot finish properly is worth nothing to either of us.
No GST is added to these prices.
Questions from Kalyan
Our data is spread across four Excel files. Is that a problem?
It is the normal starting point. Part of the audit is working out which file is the real source of truth, because usually one of them is and the others are copies.
What if the person who built our spreadsheet leaves?
That is the risk worth pricing. Moving the logic into a documented job with a log, that anyone can run, is exactly the kind of build that pays for itself the first time somebody is unavailable.
We do something odd that no software handles. Can you still automate it?
Usually, yes — that is the whole point of building it rather than selling you a product. Show me the job once. If the rules can be written down, it can almost always be built.
Do you only work with one kind of business?
No. Companies, factories, agencies and institutes all end up with the same problem: a person doing a job that a schedule should be doing. The industry changes the details, not the approach.
Our software vendor says integration is not possible.
Rarely the end of it. If a system can export a file, print a report, send an email or reach a database, it can usually be automated around without touching the vendor's software or breaking your support contract.
