A reliable long-term partner for our tech needs

Rohan Sharma / Senior Product Manager | Oct 01, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project.

Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Project summary

We engaged Startup Era to redesign and rebuild our company website on a modern stack. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. We worked together for around 7 months.

I work as Senior Product Manager at Nimbus Therapeutics Pvt Ltd. We operate in Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology and most of our customers are in and around Kolkata, India.
What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?

What services did the company provide for your project?
End-to-end Web Development — from requirements and design through to deployment and a support period afterwards.
Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?

Communication was good overall and improved further once we settled into a routine.

Mostly. One milestone slipped by about a week, but the final delivery was on schedule and the budget held.

Professional team that made a complex project feel manageable

Maria Bennett / CEO | Aug 13, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with Startup Era. When we changed our minds on a couple of features halfway through, they handled it without fuss and were clear about the impact on cost and timeline. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.

The Game Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. Documentation at handover was a bit thin and we had to ask for more detail.

Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

Our company worked with Startup Era to port our game to new platforms and improve performance. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. The engagement ran for about 4 months.

Solid delivery, though timelines needed some pushing

Rahul Desai / Managing Director | Jun 07, 2026

Overall the project was a success, though it was not without some challenges. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. There were some early misunderstandings on requirements that took a few rounds to sort out.

We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

Startup Era was brought in to assess our architecture before a major product rebuild. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. The project took roughly 8 months from kickoff to launch.
