We build the software
your idea actually needs.
CodeNova India is a newly founded studio out of Chennai. No recycled case studies, no inflated numbers — just two engineers who'll design and build your website or app personally, at a budget we work out together.
No manufactured track record. Here's what's actually true.
We're a new studio
CodeNova India just started. We won't invent a client list to look bigger than we are — instead you get our full attention, since you're not one of fifty accounts.
You work with the founders
No account manager relaying messages. Every project runs through Hariharan and Ajay directly, from the first call to final handover.
Budgets are a conversation
We haven't fixed price tiers yet — tell us your scope and constraints, and we'll work out a number that's fair for both sides.
Two people, a focused set of services
Websites and apps — that's it. We'd rather do two things well than spread across five, and everything below we build ourselves, with nothing outsourced further down the chain.
Websites
Marketing sites, business websites, and web apps — built fast, built to load quickly, and easy for you to update once we've handed it over.
- Custom design, not a recolored template
- Fast, SEO-friendly, mobile-first
- Built on Next.js — modern & maintainable
- Simple content updates after launch
Mobile apps
iOS and Android apps from a single codebase where it makes sense, so you reach both platforms without doubling the budget or the timeline.
- One codebase, both app stores
- Push notifications & offline support
- Store submission handled for you
- Built to scale past version one
A straightforward process, start to finish
Talk it through
A call or chat to understand what you're trying to build, who it's for, and what's realistic within your budget and timeline.
Scope & quote
We send back a plain-language proposal — what we'll build, how long it takes, and a price. We'll negotiate until it's fair for both of us.
Build in the open
You get staged progress, not radio silence for six weeks. Preview links, quick check-ins, and room to redirect early.
Launch & support
We ship it, walk you through how it works, and stay reachable for fixes and small changes after launch.
Why work with a
new studio
Being new means we've got something to prove on every project — that tends to show in the work.
Two engineers, not an agency layer
Hariharan and Ajay both work senior engineering roles by day and build client projects hands-on — you're not paying for a sales team or middle management.
Pricing that fits your reality
We're building our name, not padding an invoice. Tell us your budget constraints and we'll tell you honestly what's possible within it.
Modern, maintainable code
Everything we ship is built on current, well-supported tools — so the next developer who touches it (or future-you) isn't fighting it.
Clear communication
You'll always know what stage your project is at. If something slips, we'll tell you early — not the week before launch.
Founded by two people, run by two people
Ajay Nagarajan
Managing Director
Strategy & Delivery
Runs client conversations and project delivery — keeping scope, timeline and budget from kickoff to launch.
Hariharan Shankar
Technical Director
Engineering & Product
Leads the technical build — architecture, frontend engineering, and making sure what ships actually holds up.
Good to know before you reach out
It depends on scope — we don't have fixed packages yet. Share what you need in the contact form and we'll come back with a plain-language quote you can negotiate with us.
A focused marketing website usually takes 4-6 weeks. Apps and larger web platforms take longer depending on features — we'll give you a realistic timeline after the scoping call, not before.
That's our default stack because it lets us move fast without sacrificing quality, but we're flexible if your project has specific technical requirements — just tell us upfront.
The opposite, if anything. You're talking directly to Hariharan or Ajay, not an account manager — there's no queue of fifty other retained clients ahead of you.
A rough idea of what you're building, who it's for, and any must-have features or deadlines. We'll ask the rest during the first call.
Tell us what you're building
Budgets are negotiable — we haven't fixed pricing tiers, so reach out even if you're not sure what it should cost. We'll work it out together.
Usually reply within 24–48 hours.
