About Us
For over 15 years, we’ve developed mission critical, high profile applications in the retail, fintech, education, HR and Health Care industries.
Frustrated with the quality of output from a fully offshore team, we developed a specialized model that uses a mix of on-shore and off-shore engineers to guarantee extremely high quality output and architectural durability.
The results speak for themselves. We’ve been able to produce applications in a fraction of the time and cost of other teams. In fact, many of our clients have approached us when they’ve been unsuccessful at completing projects internally and with outside vendors.

Shachin is a builder, inventor, and problem solver. He has a track record of success as an entrepreneur and CTO, giving him the knowledge of what works in the corporate environment when it comes to building products. His creativity and innovation are complemented by his ability to stay grounded and execute on ideas. As a kid, he loved to build model train engines and cranes out of Mechano sets by using different pieces from different sets outside of the given directions, highlighting his passion for building and trying to solve problems in unique and unconventional ways.
This eventually metamorphosed into many years of product development expertise spanning a wide range of clients and domains. From start-ups to large enterprises, Shachin has launched multiple successful platforms across the worlds of eCommerce, retail, finance, and enterprise technology. These efforts have led to companies acquiring new clients, predicting user behavior more efficiently, developing more robust marketplaces, and selling licenses.
His rationale for creating SWStrategies was to build high quality solutions in a mixed on-shore/off-shore setting. 16 years ago, when he started the company, most projects with off-shore teams would fail. He wanted to change that by providing the right mix of talent and skills in the right location. His goal was to create a company that could deliver results through a collaborative effort, regardless of where the team was located.

Srikanth is an architect, analyzer, and optimizer. He has a wealth of experience as a technical leader on the algorithmic and operational sides with several large enterprises including Thomson Reuters and 7-Eleven, helping to translate enormous technical complexity into simple and clean usability. His approach is analytical and data-driven, with an emphasis on optimizing processes and outcomes.
As a passionate coder and chess enthusiast, Srikanth built "Cach," which started as a two-human player game arbitration bot and evolved into an engine utilizing the Alpha-Beta pruning algorithm, making it proficient in playing against humans. This highlights his exceptional analysis and outcome prediction skills.
With a wide range of technical expertise, spanning CGI, Compiler construction, Embedded Systems, and Cloud Engineering, Srikanth is well-equipped to tackle various challenges. His motivation to establish SWStrategies was to provide customers with on-site level customer service through an offshore team, aiming to eliminate the typical gaps experienced by clients engaging with offshore teams. Additionally, he aimed to offer a balanced cost model, enabling customers to make the most of their investments in software development. By prioritizing superior customer service and cost-effective solutions, Srikanth envisioned SWStrategies to stand out in the competitive marketplace.
