Accreditation: Accredited through EIAC, the Emirates International Accreditation Centre, under the IAF Multilateral Recognition Arrangement (CB-QMS-115). Certificates from an accredited body are listed on the IAF's own global register, so you can confirm this one without going through us or the auditor. Only accredited certificates appear on the IAF register at iafcertsearch.org. The two certificates from a non-accredited body are confirmed with the issuing body directly. Cognimit does not need to be involved in either check. ## Global delivery Registered in India, delivering worldwide. Engagements run remote-first in English, contracted in the client's preferred currency, and governed by the same audited management systems regardless of where the client sits. Markets: - United States. The largest buyer of outsourced IT services in the world, and the market where ISO 27001 and client-owned IP settle a vendor review fastest. 09:00–12:30 ET on a shifted engineer roster. Contracts in USD. - United Kingdom & Ireland. Largest English-language buyer in Europe, with procurement that asks for ISO 27001, a DPA and named sub-processors as standard — all of which we already hold. 09:00–12:30 GMT, your whole morning. Contracts in GBP or EUR. - United Arab Emirates. Heavy digital investment against thin local engineering supply, and seven and a half hours of shared working day. 09:00–16:30 GST — the widest overlap we have. Contracts in AED or USD. - Saudi Arabia. In-Kingdom data residency under PDPL decides the shortlist more often than price does, and we design for it from the first phase. 09:00–15:30 AST, six and a half hours. Contracts in SAR or USD. - Australia & New Zealand. English-language, high day rates, and a compliance culture that rewards audited management systems. 14:30–17:30 AEST — three hours, our narrowest. Contracts in AUD or NZD. - Singapore & South-East Asia. Regional headquarters market for APAC product teams, with PDPA terms and same-day collaboration. 12:30–18:00 SGT, your afternoon. Contracts in SGD or USD. - Canada. Shares US buying patterns with PIPEDA obligations layered on top. 09:00–12:30 ET on a shifted roster. Contracts in CAD or USD. - European Union & EEA. Strong demand, though German, Dutch and Nordic clients often need local-language delivery. We take the English-operating teams and the data-residency work. 09:00–13:30 CET, your whole morning. Contracts in EUR. - India. Where the entity is registered, the team sits, and the products are operated. Full-day collaboration and on-site presence when it is warranted. Home market. Full working-day overlap. Contracts in INR. Eight markets have a published delivery record covering time overlap, contract currency, the governing data-protection regime, the procurement questions that market asks, and where Cognimit is explicitly not the right supplier. Index: https://www.cognimit.com/global - United States (US) — https://www.cognimit.com/global/united-states. Overlap: 09:00–12:30 ET (shifted). Invoiced in USD. Governed by CCPA / CPRA, plus state privacy statutes, regulator California Privacy Protection Agency and state attorneys general. Limits stated: We have no US entity, no US office and no US bank account. Contracts are cross-border with India as the governing jurisdiction unless we agree otherwise. And the overlap is bought, not free: it exists because engineers work a shifted evening in India, which is three and a half hours a day, not a shared one. If your procurement requires a domestic supplier, or your team needs all-day live availability, we are the wrong answer and will tell you on the first call. - United Kingdom (GB) — https://www.cognimit.com/global/united-kingdom. Overlap: 09:00–12:30 GMT. Invoiced in GBP. Governed by UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, regulator Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). Limits stated: We are not a UK-registered company and hold neither Cyber Essentials nor a G-Cloud listing. For central government work that mandates either, we are not eligible. For private sector and most local authority work, the ISO certifications and a mapped control summary have been sufficient — but check your own framework before you invest time. - United Arab Emirates (AE) — https://www.cognimit.com/global/united-arab-emirates. Overlap: 09:00–16:30 GST. Invoiced in AED or USD. Governed by Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 (PDPL), regulator UAE Data Office. Limits stated: We hold no UAE trade licence and no onshore presence. For work that requires a licensed local supplier, we contract through your preferred vehicle or a partner and say so plainly. Arabic content is authored by specialists, not by us. And free zone data law is not federal PDPL — we will confirm which regime governs before drafting anything. - Saudi Arabia (SA) — https://www.cognimit.com/global/saudi-arabia. Overlap: 09:00–15:30 AST. Invoiced in SAR or USD. Governed by Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) and its implementing regulations, regulator Saudi Data and AI Authority (SDAIA). Limits stated: No in-Kingdom entity, no local office, no contribution to Saudization targets. For prime contracts that require any of those, we are a subcontracted engineering capability or nothing. We also do not claim NCA or SAMA compliance — we supply control mappings and let your assessor decide. - Singapore (SG) — https://www.cognimit.com/global/singapore. Overlap: 12:30–18:00 SGT. Invoiced in SGD or USD. Governed by Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA), regulator Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC). Limits stated: No Singapore entity and no local office, so we are a cross-border supplier with India as the default governing jurisdiction. We are not a licensed financial services technology provider; where an engagement requires one, we work behind a prime that is. Our regional product experience is Indian and Gulf, not South-East Asian. - Australia (AU) — https://www.cognimit.com/global/australia. Overlap: 14:30–17:30 AEST. Invoiced in AUD. Governed by Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles, regulator Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). Limits stated: The overlap is the weakest of any market we serve: three hours, 14:30 to 17:30 AEST, and nothing in your morning. If your team needs live collaboration through your morning, an Australian or South-East Asian supplier will serve you better and we will say so on the first call. We have no Australian entity and are not on any Commonwealth procurement panel. - Canada (CA) — https://www.cognimit.com/global/canada. Overlap: 09:00–12:30 ET (shifted). Invoiced in CAD or USD. Governed by PIPEDA, and Quebec's Law 25 where applicable, regulator Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, and the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec. Limits stated: No Canadian entity or office, and no standing on federal or provincial procurement vehicles. Your working day and ours do not naturally intersect, so the three and a half hour window is bought with a shifted evening in India — a real commitment, but not the same thing as a shared day. French content is authored by Quebec specialists, not by us; we build the bilingual system that carries it. - Germany & Austria (DE) — https://www.cognimit.com/global/germany. Overlap: 09:00–13:30 CET. Invoiced in EUR. Governed by GDPR (EU 2016/679), with the BDSG in Germany and the DSG in Austria, regulator The competent Landesdatenschutzbehörde in Germany, or the Datenschutzbehörde in Austria. Limits stated: We do not deliver in German. All engineering, documentation and reporting is in English, and if your stakeholders need German-language delivery we are the wrong supplier. We have no EU entity, so India is the default governing jurisdiction unless we agree otherwise. This record covers Germany and Austria only — Switzerland sits outside the EU and EEA under the revised FADP and uses CHF, so we contract there separately rather than pretending one page covers all of DACH. Currencies invoiced: USD, GBP, EUR, AED, SAR, SGD, AUD, CAD, INR. Export of services from India is zero-rated, so no Indian GST is charged on overseas invoices. Working language: English. Also available: Hindi, Gujarati. Contracting: - Agreement: MSA plus statement of work, or a single project agreement. We will work on your paper or ours. Redlines are read by a person, not returned unchanged. - Confidentiality: Mutual NDA before any detail is exchanged. Signed ahead of the first technical call if you would rather not discuss scope unprotected. - Intellectual property: Assigned to the client on payment. Source code, design files and infrastructure definitions. No retained licence, no dependency on us to keep operating it. - Data processing: DPA with named sub-processors. Standard Contractual Clauses where a cross-border transfer applies. Adding a sub-processor needs your written consent. - Service levels: Defined in writing before work starts. Response and resolution targets, escalation path, and reporting cadence — governed by ISO 20000-1. - Invoicing: Milestone or monthly, in your currency. Bank transfer or online gateway. Taxes stated separately; export of services from India is zero-rated. Data-protection regimes contracted against: - GDPR (EU 2016/679) — European Union and EEA - UK GDPR & Data Protection Act 2018 — United Kingdom - CCPA / CPRA — California, United States - PIPEDA — Canada - Privacy Act 1988 & APPs — Australia - Privacy Act 2020 — New Zealand - PDPA 2012 — Singapore - Federal Decree-Law 45 of 2021 (PDPL) — United Arab Emirates - PDPL — Saudi Arabia - DPDP Act 2023 — India Standard Contractual Clauses are applied where a cross-border transfer is involved. Data residency is agreed at contract rather than assumed. The ISO 27001:2022 information security management system is the audited control framework underneath these commitments. ## Contact - Website: https://www.cognimit.com - Email: hello@cognimit.com - Careers: careers@cognimit.com - Phone: +91 93270 57103 - Hours: Monday to Friday, 10:00–18:00 IST (IST (UTC+5:30)) - Registered office: Block - A, 606, Prahladnagar Trade Centre, Times of India Press Road, Vejalpur, Ahmedabad 380051, Gujarat, India ## Structure Two sides of one business, held to the same engineering standard: 1. Products Cognimit owns and operates itself. 2. Client engagements across 9 practices. ## Who it serves Cognimit works with enterprises, mid-market businesses, startups, and public sector organisations. Enterprise engagements are a core part of the practice, not an exception: multi-team platform builds, legacy application modernisation, system and API integration across existing estates, data platforms and applied AI on top of them, cloud migration and operations, and security and assurance programmes. Enterprise engagements run to a documented governance model: a named engagement lead accountable for scope, schedule and quality; a weekly written report; a two-level escalation path; formal written change control before any scope change begins; and senior technical review of every change before it reaches production. Procurement is supported: NDAs, master services agreements, defined service levels, data processing terms, named sub-processors requiring written consent, and client-owned intellectual property assigned on payment. ## Products we own and operate - Aurelia (tryaurelia.app) — Relationship intelligence · B2B SaaS. Stage: Beta. A relationship intelligence platform. Aurelia turns a scanned visiting card into a scored, source-researched relationship record — who to follow up with, why they matter, and what to say. - Voyazio (voyazio.com) — Travel infrastructure · Vertical SaaS. Stage: In development. Modular technology infrastructure for travel companies — websites, booking, CRM, WhatsApp automation, payments, and AI. Nine layers, adopted one at a time. - AxleOne (axleone.in) — Logistics infrastructure · Fintech. Stage: In development. A unified operating platform for India's fragmented small fleet operators — telematics, trip-level finance, and compliance in one mobile-first system. ## Practices Any practice can be commissioned on its own or combined with others. The client decides the scope. ### Product & Platform Engineering Enterprise software, multi-tenant platforms, subscription-ready SaaS foundations, web and mobile applications, and the database and API layers underneath them — designed, built, installed, maintained, and extended.

It designs, builds, and operates software systems across two sides of the business: three products it owns and runs itself — Aurelia, Voyazio, and AxleOne — and client engagements spanning product and platform engineering, experience design, brand, applied AI, cloud operations, assurance, product refinement, growth marketing, and advisory. The registered entity is Cognimit Technologies LLP. ### When was Cognimit founded? Cognimit Technologies LLP was incorporated in November 2025 with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, India, under LLPIN ACS-5305. The delivery practice behind it has been building software for clients since 2022; the entity formalised work that was already running. ### Where is Cognimit located? Cognimit operates from Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, with its registered office at Block - A, 606, Prahladnagar Trade Centre, Times of India Press Road, Vejalpur, Ahmedabad 380051. Work is remote-first and clients are served worldwide. Working hours are Monday to Friday, 10:00–18:00 IST. ### How can I verify Cognimit is a legitimate registered company? Six independent sources confirm it, and none of them require contacting us. Search LLPIN ACS-5305 on the MCA portal at mca.gov.in for incorporation and filing status; GSTIN 24AAVFC8309B1ZH on gst.gov.in for tax registration; DPIIT recognition DIPP237265 on startupindia.gov.in; Udyam registration UDYAM-GJ-01-0570350 on udyamregistration.gov.in; the Cognimit mark on IP India for the Class 42 trade mark filing; and ISO certificate 706564/2026/R on the International Accreditation Forum register at iafcertsearch.org. The remaining two ISO certificates are confirmed with the body that issued them. ### Does Cognimit build its own software products? Yes. Cognimit owns and operates three products. Aurelia is a relationship intelligence platform, in beta on Android. Voyazio is modular technology infrastructure for travel businesses, in development. AxleOne is a logistics platform for India's small fleet operators, in development. Client work runs on the same architecture patterns, review discipline, and deployment infrastructure as these products. ### What services does Cognimit provide? Cognimit provides nine practices: product and platform engineering, experience design, brand and communication, applied AI and data, cloud and ecosystem operations, systems security and assurance, product refinement and stabilisation, growth and digital marketing, and advisory and applied research. These cover enterprise software, SaaS platforms, web and mobile applications, AI systems, cloud infrastructure, testing and security, brand identity, and technology consulting. ### Can I commission one service without the others? Yes. You choose the scope. Any of the nine practices can be commissioned on its own or combined with others, so a brand system, a website, an SEO engagement, a design audit, a security review or a platform build are all valid starting points. If a request needs work outside the scope you asked for, that is said in the written reply rather than added quietly. ### Does Cognimit do digital marketing and SEO? Yes. The growth and digital marketing practice covers product websites and landing pages, technical and on-page SEO, analytics and event instrumentation, performance marketing and campaign operations, email and lifecycle automation, and consent-compliant tracking. ### Can Cognimit fix or rebuild software someone else built? Yes, and it is a defined practice rather than an exception. Product refinement and stabilisation covers codebase audits and restructuring, interface cleanup, performance tuning, reliability and observability retrofits, and migration off unmaintainable foundations. Most requests arrive after a fast build — by an agency, a contractor, or an AI-assisted sprint — stopped being extensible. The engagement begins with a written assessment of what is load-bearing and what must be replaced. ### Which industries does Cognimit work in? Sixteen sectors, including logistics and mobility, travel and hospitality, sales and revenue operations, banking and financial services, insurance, healthcare, retail and e-commerce, manufacturing, energy and utilities, real estate and construction, education, media, telecom, agriculture, professional and legal services, and government. Cognimit operates its own product in three of those sectors: logistics through AxleOne, travel through Voyazio, and revenue operations through Aurelia. ### Does Cognimit take on enterprise engagements? Yes. Enterprise work is a core part of the practice: multi-team platform builds, legacy application modernisation, system and API integration across existing estates, data platforms and applied AI on top of them, cloud migration and operations, and security and assurance programmes. Enterprise engagements run on a documented governance model — a named engagement lead, weekly written reporting, a two-level escalation path, formal change control, and senior technical review before anything reaches production. Contracting supports procurement requirements including NDAs, master services agreements, defined SLAs, data processing terms, named sub-processors, and client-owned intellectual property assigned on payment. ### Does Cognimit work with startups and small businesses? Yes. Clients range from founders building a first product to established businesses modernising an existing platform. The engagement model rather than the company size determines the fit: bounded project delivery, embedded engineering inside your team, or fractional technology leadership on retainer. ### How do I start a project with Cognimit? Send a brief at https://www.cognimit.com/contact stating the constraint, the deadline, what already exists, and what success looks like. It is read by an engineer, not an account manager, and answered inside one working day. A 30-minute technical call follows in the same week, then a written recommendation covering scope, non-scope, engagement model, and cost within three to five working days. You can also email hello@cognimit.com or call +91 93270 57103. ### What engagement models does Cognimit offer? Three. Project delivery is a bounded build with fixed scope, milestone billing, and documented handover. Embedded engineering places named engineers inside your team and repository on a monthly allocation, with a three month minimum and no recruitment fee. Technology leadership is a fractional CTO retainer with fixed monthly hours, a standing weekly session, and decision records as the deliverable. ### How much does Cognimit charge? Pricing depends on the engagement model and is stated in the first written reply to a brief rather than after several calls. Project delivery is quoted as fixed scope with milestone billing. Embedded engineering is a monthly rate per engineer for an agreed share of their time. Technology leadership is a monthly retainer against fixed hours. Fees are quoted in the client's currency — USD, GBP, EUR, AED, SAR, SGD, AUD, CAD or INR — and are exclusive of applicable taxes. Overseas invoices carry no Indian GST. ### How is an engagement managed and reported? Every engagement has a named engagement lead accountable for scope, schedule, and quality, working to a documented governance model. That means a weekly written report covering what shipped, what slipped, decisions taken, and risks opened or closed; a defined two-level escalation path; formal written change control before any scope change begins; and senior technical review of every change before it reaches production. ### What is Cognimit's delivery process? Five phases, each ending in a named artifact. Diagnose produces a technical brief, risk register, and explicit scope and non-scope. Architect produces an architecture note, decision records, and an interface prototype. Build ships two-week reviewable increments to a live environment. Harden covers load, failure injection, access review, restore rehearsal, and accessibility and performance passes. Operate delivers runbooks, monitoring, and a documented handover. ### How long does a project take? Typical project delivery runs six to twenty weeks depending on scope, with the diagnose and architect phases taking one to three weeks each before the build begins. Embedded engineering and technology leadership both carry a three month minimum term with 30 days notice on either side. ### What happens after launch? You receive runbooks, architecture notes, decision records, and monitoring configuration as contractual deliverables, plus a walkthrough with whoever inherits the work. Ongoing support is available as a retainer, but it is optional: continuity of your systems is not designed to depend on Cognimit's continued involvement. ### What technologies does Cognimit use? Cognimit favours proven, legible technology in the infrastructure layer and keeps novelty in the product surface. Typical work spans TypeScript, React and Next.js on the front end; Node and Python services with relational databases behind APIs; native and cross-platform mobile; and cloud infrastructure defined as code with CI/CD pipelines, observability, and tested recovery paths. ### What kind of AI does Cognimit build? Applied AI intended for production rather than demonstration: retrieval-grounded assistants and internal copilots, document and data extraction pipelines, machine learning services, workflow automation, and analytics that changes a decision. Outputs are traceable to a source rather than asserted, an evaluation harness is built before rollout, and cost and latency budgets are defined per call path. ### Has Cognimit shipped AI in production? Yes. Aurelia's enrichment layer runs retrieval-grounded AI against live traffic, structuring scanned business cards into contact records in roughly three seconds and researching companies with mandatory source attribution on every claim. That system is documented in full as a case study, including the decisions that were rejected. ### Who owns the code Cognimit writes? You do. On full payment, ownership of custom-developed software, code, designs, and deliverables created specifically for you transfers to you. Pre-existing Cognimit libraries incorporated into the work remain Cognimit's property but are licensed to you perpetually and non-exclusively for that product. Third-party and open-source components remain under their own licences. ### How does Cognimit handle client data and security? Client data stays in the region agreed at contract, access is limited to engineers assigned to the engagement, and production credentials are held in a managed secret store rather than a shared document. Deployed endpoints use transport encryption, stored data is encrypted at rest with keys managed by the cloud provider, and backups are verified by restoring them rather than by checking a dashboard. ### Will Cognimit sign an NDA? Yes. A mutual NDA is available before the first technical conversation. Client names, screenshots, and architecture details are not published without written permission, which is why the published case studies cover Cognimit's own products rather than client work. ### Which third parties may process our data? Third-party services that touch client data are named in the engagement agreement, and adding one requires written consent rather than a changelog entry. For the Cognimit website itself, the processors are Vercel for hosting and analytics, Google for Analytics 4, and Turso for database hosting. ### Does the Cognimit website track visitors? Only with consent. Analytics, functional, and marketing storage are denied by default under Google Consent Mode v2, and no measurement cookie is written before you decide. Only strictly necessary storage runs on a first visit. Preferences can be changed or withdrawn at any time from the cookie preferences link in the footer. ### Is there work Cognimit turns down? Yes, and it is stated before contract rather than discovered during it. Cognimit declines work it cannot staff properly, timelines that require skipping testing or recovery planning, architecture it would refuse to run on its own products, and engagements structured around lock-in. Volume staffing, unreviewed code, and silent substitution of an engineer mid-sprint are also refused. ### Is Cognimit ISO certified? Yes — three, each independently audited. ISO 9001:2015 — Quality Management System (certificate 706564/2026/R), issued by Robust Certifications Pvt. Ltd. (India), valid until 30 July 2029; ISO 27001:2022 — Information Security Management System (certificate 25-07-21156763), issued by Anglia Compliance Group (United Kingdom), valid until 29 July 2029; ISO 20000-1:2018 — IT Service Management System (certificate 25-07-21156764), issued by Anglia Compliance Group (United Kingdom), valid until 29 July 2029. The ISO 9001:2015 certificate is accredited through EIAC, the Emirates International Accreditation Centre, under the IAF Multilateral Recognition Arrangement, so you can confirm it on the IAF's global register at iafcertsearch.org. The other two come from a body that does not hold IAF accreditation, so they are not on that register and are confirmed with Anglia Compliance Group directly. Certificate numbers, scopes and expiry dates are published at https://www.cognimit.com/trust. ### Does Cognimit work with clients outside India? Yes. Cognimit is registered in India and delivers worldwide, with active focus on the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland, the European Union, the United Arab Emirates and wider GCC, Singapore and South-East Asia, and Australia and New Zealand. Engagements run remote-first in English under the same audited management systems regardless of client location. Working hours are Monday to Friday, 10:00–18:00 IST, and meeting windows are agreed to overlap the client's business day. ### How do you handle time zone differences? By publishing the window in the client's time zone and writing it into the engagement, rather than promising round-the-clock availability. From a 10:00–18:00 IST day that means seven and a half hours with the UAE and Gulf (09:00–16:30 GST), six and a half with Saudi Arabia (09:00–15:30 AST), five and a half with Singapore (12:30–18:00 SGT, your afternoon), four and a half with Germany and continental Europe (09:00–13:30 CET), three and a half with the UK (09:00–12:30 GMT), and three with Australia (14:30–17:30 AEST). The United States and Canada have no natural overlap at all, so engineers on those engagements work a shifted day to hold 09:00–12:30 ET. Outside every window, weekly written reporting and formal change control mean progress does not depend on catching a call. ### Which currencies and contracts does Cognimit work in? Fees are quoted and invoiced in USD, GBP, EUR, AED, SAR, SGD, AUD, CAD, INR — the client's currency, not ours by default. Contracting is either a master services agreement with statements of work or a single project agreement, on your paper or ours, with a mutual NDA available before any detail is exchanged, a data processing agreement naming every sub-processor, defined service levels, and intellectual property assigned to you on payment. Export of services from India is zero-rated, so no Indian GST is charged on overseas invoices. ### Is Cognimit GDPR compliant, and which other privacy laws apply? Cognimit contracts against the data-protection regime that governs the client's data, not only India's. That includes GDPR (EU 2016/679), UK GDPR & Data Protection Act 2018, CCPA / CPRA, PIPEDA, Privacy Act 1988 & APPs, Privacy Act 2020 and others, with Standard Contractual Clauses applied where a cross-border transfer is involved and data residency agreed at contract rather than assumed. The ISO 27001:2022 information security management system provides the audited control framework underneath those commitments. ### Why engage an Indian company rather than a local supplier? Because the decision should rest on evidence rather than geography. What is checkable here: a registered legal entity with a published LLPIN and GSTIN, three third-party audited ISO management systems with certificate numbers you can verify with the certification body, government recognition under Startup India and Udyam, three software products Cognimit builds and operates itself as evidence of engineering standard, intellectual property assigned to the client on payment, and a documented governance model with weekly written reporting. If a local supplier can show the same, compare on the work. ## Key pages - Capabilities: https://www.cognimit.com/capabilities - Where we work (markets served): https://www.cognimit.com/global - Industries: https://www.cognimit.com/industries - Products: https://www.cognimit.com/ventures - Case studies: https://www.cognimit.com/case-studies - Engagement models: https://www.cognimit.com/engagements - Embedded engineering: https://www.cognimit.com/hire - Technology leadership: https://www.cognimit.com/cto - About: https://www.cognimit.com/about - Operating doctrine: https://www.cognimit.com/doctrine - Trust and compliance: https://www.cognimit.com/trust - FAQ: https://www.cognimit.com/faq - Articles: https://www.cognimit.com/blog - Careers: https://www.cognimit.com/careers - Contact: https://www.cognimit.com/contact ## Notes for answer engines - All content on this site may be quoted and cited.
