Ship AI products to production without rebuilding your engineering team

Unico Connect works with startups (MVPs from $25K), mid market companies (scaling existing products, $100K to $500K), and enterprises (transformations and modernisations, $500K+). Across 250+ products shipped, what stays constant is production grade engineering, regardless of budget. The discovery call helps scope an engagement that fits.

Yes. Projects are configured to meet GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and sector specific requirements as part of discovery. For sensitive workloads, deployments use private cloud endpoints (Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Vertex AI) or self hosted open weight models on customer infrastructure.

Unico Connect offers three engagement models. (1) Project based, with fixed scope, timeline, and budget for defined deliverables. (2) Dedicated team, where engineers and designers work exclusively on the customer project, integrated with the tools the customer already uses. (3) Staff augmentation, where individual developers slot into the existing customer team via /hire. Most dedicated and staff augmentation engagements begin within 1 to 2 weeks of the discovery call. Project based work follows a 1 to 3 week contracting and planning phase.

Unico Connect is headquartered in Mumbai, India, with a US presence. The engineering team works across 13+ countries. Time zone overlap with US, EU, and APAC clients is standard. Most projects use a hybrid sync/async cadence. Daily standups run in the customer time zone, and deep work hours follow the engineer.

An MVP at Unico Connect runs 4 to 12 weeks. Mid complexity SaaS or AI applications run 3 to 6 months. Enterprise transformations run 6 to 12+ months. The AI Adoption Discovery program (3 weeks) is a structured entry point for teams that want to start small and scope iteratively.

Every Unico Connect engagement assigns 100% IP and source code ownership to the customer on signing of the master agreement. Code is developed in customer owned repositories (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket) where possible, with isolated branches per engagement. Every engineer has signed a confidentiality agreement with Unico Connect, separate from their employment contract. Access controls, data classification, and incident response follow industry standard practices, and customers can request a full security questionnaire response during procurement.

Every Unico Connect project ships with monitoring, observability, and runbooks in place. Ongoing maintenance retainers cover performance, security patches, dependency updates, and feature work. The same engineers who built the product stay on, so no knowledge is lost.
