The things teams ask us first.

Straight answers to what usually comes up before we start working together. If your question is not here, send it over and we will come back with a straight, useful answer.

Working together

What does Zeto actually do?+

We are your product engineering team. We design, build, and run the web, mobile, and AI software your business needs, from the first idea to real users at scale. You bring the objective, and we own the outcome with you rather than handing off a prototype.

How do we get started?+

It begins with a short call where you tell us the outcome you are after and the constraints around it. From there we propose a focused path, usually a discovery or a first build, depending on where you are. There is no long procurement maze to get to a real conversation.

Do you work alongside our existing team?+

Yes, often. We can run as your whole product team, or plug in next to your engineers and designers and lift the parts that are stuck. Either way you get one product lead and one engineering lead who are accountable for what ships.

How involved do we need to be?+

Enough to make the calls only you can make. We handle the building and bring you clear decisions every week. The more access we have to your users and your context early on, the better the result, and we are careful with the time we ask of you.

Where are you based, and do time zones matter?+

We are based in Hyderabad, India, and we work with teams across regions. We set a weekly rhythm and overlapping hours that fit your time zone, so progress never waits a full day for a reply.

Engagement and investment

How are engagements structured?+

A few ways, depending on your stage: a product engineering retainer that owns delivery, a short AI discovery sprint, a platform build to replace scattered tools, or a zero to one product build. You can read each on the engagements page, and we will recommend the one that fits.

What does it cost?+

It depends on the size of the work and the engagement, so we price it against the value and the work involved rather than a fixed menu. Tell us what you are trying to achieve and we will be clear about investment early, before you commit to anything.

What is the smallest way to start?+

A paid discovery or a small first build with clear edges. It gives you a real result and a clear read on working with us, without committing to a long roadmap before you have seen us deliver.

What if we want to take it in-house later?+

Good. We build so you are never trapped. The code, the technical notes, and the accounts are yours throughout, and we document and hand over so your team can carry it forward whenever you choose.

Technology and AI

How do you approach AI?+

We add AI only where it improves a real workflow, saves real time, or creates measurable value. We design it into the product grounded in your data, and we measure quality against that data rather than assuming it. No intelligence for the sake of a demo.

Can you modernise our legacy systems?+

Yes. We bring brittle, spreadsheet-heavy operations onto one platform one slice at a time, so the business keeps running while the old tools fall away. Once the foundation is solid and the data is clean, we add AI on top of it.

How do you keep quality high?+

We build for real use from the start: systems that hold up under real load, monitoring so problems surface before users feel them, and evaluation so AI and core features are measured against evidence. We build the unglamorous parts that keep software running.

Security and ownership

Who owns the intellectual property?+

You do. Everything we build for you is yours, including the code, the design files, and the data. We can work in your repositories and cloud accounts so ownership is never in question.

Will you sign an NDA?+

Yes, and we are happy to before the first detailed conversation. Confidentiality and security-conscious planning are part of how we work from the first call.

How do you handle sensitive data?+

We work with teams in fintech, healthcare, and government, so we plan for confidentiality from the start: least-privilege access, careful handling of live data, and the ability to work within your compliance requirements. The security page goes into more detail.
