Origin story
Bandel, West Bengal. Father earned ₹3,000/month. BCA admission paid by his retirement PF. Couldn't afford the remaining ₹40,000 — dropped out. No degree. No backup plan.
Failed 50+ call center interviews before landing the first job. ₹4,000/month. Climbed telephone poles. Managed 60–70 people. 400+ consecutive days without leave. Self-taught SEO, VBA, .NET, React, AI — at the keyboard, not in a classroom.
Proof, not promises
Selected work
From Wipro's internal tools to Bachao.AI's on-device AI engine — always at the keyboard, never delegating.

Why the agency model fails
Senior sales closes the deal. A junior you’ve never met does the work. Quality becomes someone else’s problem.
Half your budget funds project managers and approval chains — very little reaches actual build.
“6–8 weeks” becomes 6 months. Discovery sprints bloat. Scope creeps. Runway runs out before go-live.
The solution isn't a better agency. It's a senior engineer who personally owns every outcome — someone who built a 46-person company, survived collapse, rebuilt to ₹90 LPA at Series F-stage K12 Techno Services (Peak XV/Sequoia-backed), and still chooses to sit at the keyboard and ship your product themselves.
What I build
100% personally delivered by Shouvik Mukherjee. No juniors. No handoffs.
Idea to live product. Scope locked ruthlessly. No discovery bloat, no junior surprises. Weekly live demos — working product in your browser every week.
20 hrs/week of manual work → 20 minutes. AI workflows, BI dashboards, multi-agent pipelines, integrations.
Complex SaaS, internal tools, scalable platforms. Senior architecture, zero juniors — every decision made by the person you hired.
Fractional CTO. Strategy, vendor audit, roadmap, tech hiring filter. Stop burning budget on wrong calls.
How I work
No discovery sprints. No handoffs. Working product in your browser every week.
Every project: Fixed-price SOW · Weekly live demos · Full code ownership · 30-day post-launch support included. No scope surprises. You know exactly where things stand — always.
Why this matters: A person who repaid ₹40L in personal debt without defaulting on a single rupee — and rebuilt to ₹90 LPA from scratch — understands what financial commitment and deadline pressure actually mean. That's who owns your project.
Share your idea. I tell you how I’d build it, what it costs, what to avoid — genuine advice, no pitch.
Detailed SOW in 48 hours. Milestones, payments, deliverables locked in writing before a single line is written.
Working product in your browser every week. AI handles scaffolding; I own architecture and quality. No black holes.
Complete ownership, documented codebase, live walkthrough. You know exactly what you have and how to grow it.
Bug fixes and questions for 30 days after launch — always included, never invoiced separately.
Transparent pricing
A senior US engineer costs $200/hr. My entire project fee ≈ one week of their salary. International clients invoiced in USD via Dhisattva AI Pvt Ltd.
Questions
No question is too basic. If it's stopping you from reaching out, it deserves a straight answer.
Tell me what you're building. I'll tell you how I'd approach it, what it'd cost, and what pitfalls to avoid — genuine advice, whether we work together or not. This is how someone who repaid ₹40L in personal debt and rebuilt to ₹90 LPA operates: with honesty, not sales scripts.
