A studio, not a startup. Built to last.
Approid Tech is a registered partnership founded by Ravi Patel (CEO) and Punit Bhalodiya (COO) in 2015. We don't pin our identity to any one stack. We work with whatever the brief calls for and whatever the market moves toward - new languages, new frameworks, new paradigms. The discipline is constant; the tools rotate. When something becomes the right answer, we're already comfortable with it - because keeping pace with the field is part of the job, not a side project.
Build software that earns its keep.
Most software is dead by year three. We design our work to outlast that. The interesting engineering isn't in the framework - it's in the ten decisions per day that keep a codebase alive.
- Honest scopes
- We won't take work we can't do well.
- Boring infra
- Reliability beats novelty in production.
- Documented exits
- Our handover is the deliverable, not a hostage situation.
- Small teams
- Two great people beat six average ones.
Two partners, both still writing code.
Ravi Patel
Co-founder, developer, and the technical lead on most engagements. Hands-on across mobile, web and AI workflows - still writing code on every client engagement.
Punit Bhalodiya
Co-founder, developer, and operations lead. Drives client engagements end-to-end across mobile, design and the infrastructure that keeps everything online.

Two halves of one practice.
Client engagements
Mobile, web, AI workflows, infrastructure. Small teams, weekly cuts, full ownership of the codebase from day one.
We work with founders shipping their first product, with operators rebuilding a legacy stack, and with engineering teams that need an extra pair of senior hands.
Our own products
Six products live, all running on the same patterns we'd hand a client on day one. New products graduate from client work whenever the same problem keeps showing up.
We use what we ship - every product runs in our own production, on the same VPS estate we recommend to clients.
