Bespoke software development for UK businesses

Bespoke software, AI consultancy and dedicated engineering teams for UK companies, delivered by an in-house team only 4.5–5.5 hours ahead of London.

Overview

TechKnow is a software development company working with UK businesses from London to Manchester and Edinburgh. We build bespoke software, provide AI consultancy and supply dedicated engineering teams. Our in-house team in Srinagar starts its day while UK teams are still asleep and overlaps most of the UK morning and early afternoon.

Why UK companies work with us

  • A shorter time gap than most offshore options. India is 4.5 hours ahead of the UK in summer and 5.5 in winter, so overlap covers the UK morning and into the afternoon.
  • UK GDPR handled properly. We sign a data processing agreement before any personal data is shared, and design systems to keep data in UK or EU regions when required.
  • Senior engineers, not juniors with a manager. You work directly with the people building your product.
  • Proof we ship. We build and run our own SaaS products, alongside client platforms in healthcare, finance and travel.

Bespoke software development

Bespoke software replaces the spreadsheets, workarounds and ageing systems that slow your team down. We design it around your process and hand you the code and the cloud accounts. See custom software development for how a project runs, and legacy software modernisation if you are replacing an old system.

AI consultancy for UK businesses

Our AI consultancy work starts with a short use-case review. We find where AI saves real time or money, run a pilot on your own data, then build the agent or LLM feature into your systems. UK GDPR and the ICO’s guidance on AI and data protection shape the design from the start.

IT consultancy and dedicated teams

For decisions rather than builds, our software and IT consultancy covers architecture reviews, technology roadmaps, fractional CTO support and technical due diligence. When you need capacity, a dedicated development team joins your sprints and works your tools. The engineers are our employees, so you are not managing individual contractors.

FAQ

Common questions

1

Do you have an office in the UK?

No. We serve UK clients remotely from our delivery centre in Srinagar and our US office, and travel for workshops when a project needs it. The time difference to the UK is 4.5–5.5 hours.

2

Are you UK GDPR compliant?

We work under a data processing agreement with each client, use international data transfer safeguards where personal data leaves the UK, and can host systems in UK or EU cloud regions.

3

What is bespoke software development?

Software designed and built for one organisation’s processes, rather than an off-the-shelf product. You own the code and can change it as the business changes.

4

Can you work in London hours?

We agree an overlap window with each client. The usual pattern is a shared UK morning for standups, reviews and calls.
