Empowering Digital India, one build at a time.
Fattdawg India Private Limited is an independent software company, run out of Pune, for businesses of every size who want an engineering partner — not a freelancer or a faceless agency.
A business-first approach to technology.
Harkirat Singh Gathode
Founder & Director"Technology should solve business problems. A successful digital solution isn't determined by how many features it has — it's determined by whether it solves the right problem."
I started out freelancing, then built that into OnlineAble India, and eventually formalized it as Fattdawg India Private Limited — a progression driven by the same pattern showing up again and again: businesses being sold generic websites and software that looked impressive in a pitch but didn't actually fit how they operated. My approach is the opposite — understand how a business works, what its actual pain points and revenue model are, before recommending any technology at all.
That means every project starts with discovery, not a template. Instead of immediately building what's requested, I spend time understanding why it's needed — which often leads to a simpler, more effective solution than the one originally asked for. Good design, to me, is invisible: visitors should never struggle to find information, and interfaces should guide people toward action without unnecessary complexity.
I also use AI heavily in how Fattdawg works — for research, planning, and development workflows — but as a productivity tool, not a replacement for expertise. Business strategy, architecture, and final implementation stay driven by human judgment. The goal is simple: be a trusted, long-term technology partner, not a one-time vendor.
How we actually work.
Transparency
Clear communication throughout every project — no surprise scope, no vague reporting.
Practical Solutions
We recommend what's genuinely needed instead of overselling unnecessary features or contracts.
Quality
Maintainable, scalable solutions — built to last past the first release, not just the demo.
Long-Term Relationships
We aim to be an ongoing technology partner, not a vendor you hear from once at invoicing time.
Continuous Learning
We adopt modern practices and evolving tools — including AI — rather than sticking to what's familiar.
A 7-stage process, every time.
The same disciplined approach whether it's a single-page site or a multi-role SaaS platform.
Discovery
Understand the business, identify the actual problem, understand customer behaviour, clarify objectives.
Planning
Site architecture, features, user journey, business workflow, and technology stack decisions made up front.
Design
Clean, professional, mobile-first interfaces that are easy to use and consistent with your brand.
Development
Built for performance, security, scalability, code quality, and long-term maintainability.
Testing
Mobile responsiveness, browser compatibility, loading speed, user experience, and functionality — checked before you ever see it.
Launch
SSL, DNS, hosting, backups, and monitoring — handled properly, not as an afterthought.
Support
Updates, maintenance, and improvements after launch — optional AMC available, never forced.
