Four friends.
Forty years.
One shared floor.

Chawl is a small consulting and development studio. We take ideas from whiteboard to working product — models that learn, devices that sense, and the software that ties them together.

What we do

Three crafts, one team that speaks all of them.

Most products today need more than one kind of engineering. We don't hand you off between vendors — the people who wire the sensor also train the model and ship the dashboard.

01

Artificial Intelligence

Practical AI that earns its place in your product — not demos that stall after the pitch.

  • LLM applications, agents & retrieval (RAG)
  • Computer vision & forecasting models
  • Data pipelines, evaluation & MLOps
  • AI strategy and feasibility audits
02

Hardware & IoT

Connected devices designed to survive the real world — dust, heat, flaky networks and all.

  • Embedded firmware & microcontrollers
  • Sensor integration & edge computing
  • PCB design and prototyping
  • Device fleets, telemetry & OTA updates
03

Software

Reliable products built to be maintained, not just launched.

  • Web & mobile applications
  • ERPs, internal tools & workflow automation
  • Cloud architecture, APIs & integrations
  • Rescue & modernisation of legacy systems

Selected work

Trusted by teams who need things to actually work.

Software · ERP

Stefan Myers

Designed and built a custom ERP system tailored to how the business really runs — bringing operations, inventory and reporting into one place instead of a patchwork of spreadsheets.

Hardware · Software · Energy

SmartJoules

Partnered with SmartJoules, an energy-efficiency company, on technology that connects building equipment, data and software to help their customers cut energy waste.

Your project

What's next?

From a one-week feasibility study to a multi-year build, we take on work where we can make a real difference.

Let's talk

How we work

Small team. Senior hands. No hand-offs.

  1. 01

    Understand

    We start with your problem, not our toolbox. A short discovery phase to map constraints, data, users and what success looks like.

  2. 02

    Prototype

    Something real, fast. A working model, a breadboard device or a clickable product — so decisions are made on evidence.

  3. 03

    Build

    Production engineering in short, visible iterations. You talk directly to the founders writing the code and laying out the boards.

  4. 04

    Hand over & support

    Documentation, training and clean handover — or we stay on to run and grow it with you. Your call.

The people

Four rooms on the same corridor.

In a Mumbai chawl, neighbours share a corridor, a tap and each other's problems. That's how we work: four friends who have spent more than a decade each building software, hardware and AI systems — now under one roof, with every door open.

  • Room 1AI & Data
  • Room 2Hardware & Embedded
  • Room 3Software & Cloud
  • Room 4Product & Delivery
