Dedicated teams that stay with your product
Our dedicated development teams in Nepal work only on your product, full time, under your direction. Most are committing code within 2–4 weeks, and you can resize the team with 30 days’ notice.
What a dedicated team looks like in practice
A typical first team is a tech lead, two to four developers and a QA engineer. Pricing depends on the seniority mix and the size of the team, and we quote it after a free 30-minute call.
It’s not the right model for everything. If you have a fixed six-week build, a project contract is cheaper. If you only need one React developer, staff augmentation is simpler.
NDA and IP protection
We sign an NDA and an IP agreement with you before any detailed technical discussion, so your ideas, code and data are covered from the first call.
Project discovery
We talk to the people on your side until the scope, the skills and the open questions are clear, including whether a dedicated team is the right model at all.
Solution architecture
With the tech lead on board, we look at the architecture, the risks and the effort involved, and agree what the first sprints should deliver.
UI/UX design
If the team includes design, our designers work in Figma on screens, components and states, so you can see and question the product before anyone builds it.
Interactive prototype
For a new product we build a clickable prototype from the designs first. You test the flows with real users before development money is spent.
Agile development
The team works in sprints against your backlog. Every sprint ends with a demo and a short written update, so you always know what shipped and what slipped.
Quality assurance
Testing starts in the first sprint, not the last. QA engineers write and run tests alongside development, so defects show up while they’re still cheap to fix.
Deployment and launch
Releases go through documented change control, to the app stores, your cloud account or your own servers, whichever you run.
Ongoing support
After go-live the same team handles fixes, upgrades and new features for as long as the engagement runs. Nobody new has to learn your codebase.
A group of engineers who work only on your product, full time, under your direction. Unlike freelancers or shared agency staff, they don't split their week across clients. At Dignep they're our employees, and they stay with your product for as long as the engagement runs.
It depends on the size of the team, the seniority mix, the stack and how long you need it. We scope it on a free 30-minute call and send a written proposal with pricing within two working days.
Usually two to four weeks from the signed proposal to the team's first commits. If you only need one or two engineers to join your existing team, staff augmentation is faster, typically 5–10 working days.
Mostly React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js and Python, on Supabase, Google Cloud or AWS, plus LLM and retrieval work for AI features. If your stack is different, say so on the first call. We'll tell you plainly if we don't have the people for it.
We work 09:00–18:00 Nepal Time (UTC+5:45). That covers almost all of the Indian working day, about 3–4 hours of the Sydney afternoon, the European morning and about 3 hours of the UK day. There's no natural overlap with the US, so we agree a fixed daily call window before kickoff, usually by moving the team lead's hours.
Yes. New people join with the same two to four week lead time. To reduce the team, give 30 days' written notice. The same notice period applies if you end the engagement.
Code review on pull requests, automated tests in CI, sprint demos and a tech lead who reports to you. Our service management is ISO/IEC 20000-1 certified, which covers how we run incidents, changes and service levels. It isn't a code-quality certificate, so judge the code by the demos and the pull requests.
How is a dedicated team at Dignep run?
The same way we run any certified service: a named tech lead, documented change control, sprint reports you can show your board, and a notice period written into the contract. The team works only on your product, and you can resize it with 30 days' notice.
Team of 3–15+ engineers
Typically a tech lead, developers and a QA engineer, with design or DevOps added as needed.
Ready in 2–4 weeks
From signed proposal to the first commits, including your interviews.
30 days' notice
Resize or end the engagement with 30 days' written notice. No long lock-in.
From first call to first commit
Most teams are working in your repository two to four weeks after the first call. The time goes on finding the right people, not on paperwork.
What drives the cost: how many engineers, how senior, and how long the engagement runs. Pricing is scoped and quoted after a free 30-minute discovery call, with a written proposal within two working days.
Discovery call (day 1)
Thirty minutes, free. Your product, the skills you need, your timeline and budget, and whether a dedicated team is the right model at all.
Scoped proposal (within 2 working days)
Team shape and roles, pricing, start date and, for US clients, the daily call window we'll keep.
Team selection (weeks 1–3)
We put forward engineers from our team for each role. You interview them and say no to anyone who isn't right.
Onboarding and first sprint (weeks 2–4)
Access to your repositories and tools, a working session on the architecture, and a first sprint with a demo at the end.
Run, report, adjust
Monthly invoice, sprint demos and written reports. Add people with the same lead time; remove them with 30 days' written notice.
Which engagement model fits?
A dedicated team is one of four ways to work with us. The honest answer depends on how long the work will run and who owns the backlog.
| Model | Team size | Start time | Pick it when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Staff augmentation | 1–5 engineers | 5–10 working days | You already have a team and a lead, and need more hands or one skill you lack. |
| Dedicated team | 3–15+ engineers | 2–4 weeks | A product that will keep changing for a year or more, and you want the same people on it. |
| Project-based | Scoped to the work | 1–3 week discovery | The scope is clear enough to fix, and you want us accountable for delivery against milestones. |
| PoC / MVP | Small squad | 4–8 week build | You need to prove an idea works, or put a first version in front of users, before committing more. |
Pricing is scoped and quoted after a free 30-minute discovery call, with a written proposal within two working days. Dedicated teams and staff augmentation run on 30 days' written notice; projects end on milestone acceptance.
Working hours across time zones
Our working day is 09:00–18:00 Nepal Time (UTC+5:45, no daylight saving). This is how it lines up with yours:
| Your region | Shared working hours |
|---|---|
| India | Almost the whole day (IST is 15 minutes behind) |
| Australia (Sydney) | The Sydney afternoon, about 3–4 hours |
| Central Europe | The European morning, about 4 hours |
| UK | About 3 hours |
| US East / West | No natural overlap. We agree a fixed daily call window before kickoff, usually by moving the team lead's working day. |
When this isn't the right fit
- You have a fixed six-week build with a clear scope. A project contract costs less and we carry the delivery risk.
- You need one or two engineers inside a team you already run. Staff augmentation is simpler and starts in 5–10 working days.
- Nobody on your side can own the product backlog. A dedicated team needs someone to set priorities every sprint; without that, a managed project works better.
- You need most of the working day to overlap with the US. We can set a fixed call window, but we won't pretend the team keeps New York hours.
Certifyi AI SaaS GRC platform
The kind of product work our engineers do on long engagements:
We built Certifyi, an AI SaaS platform for governance, risk and compliance, from product architecture to deployment: Go, Next.js and PostgreSQL on AWS, with CI/CD in GitHub Actions. It maps 100+ compliance frameworks in one system and automates evidence collection. The case study reports up to 3x less manual compliance work for its users.
