Cross-platform delivery that felt native on every device from day one

Shreya Krishnaswamy / VP of Product - Luminar Tech Pvt Ltd
Verified
Jan 03, 2026

Project summary: Several years of incremental development had left us with a platform that was technically functional but strategically limiting. A structured rebuild was the agreed path forward.

I came into this engagement as a sceptic. We had been through a failed implementation with a previous vendor and I had high standards for what evidence of competence looked like before I would trust a partner with our core systems. This team earned that trust progressively — through the quality of the discovery documentation, the rigour of the technical proposals, the consistency of the sprint deliveries, and ultimately the stability of the production system. I no longer lead with scepticism when recommending them.

PROS

Delivery timeline that proved achievable rather than optimistic, estimation accuracy that reflected real analysis rather than competitive bidding, scope discipline that prevented the feature creep we had experienced before

CONS

Pipeline availability for kickoff required a few weeks of lead time — in hindsight that selection pressure means you are working with a team that is in demand for the right reasons

Questions & Answers

Please describe your company, your role, and the industry you operate in.
Luminar Tech Pvt Ltd is an established Food & Beverage organisation headquartered in Hyderabad, India. My role as VP of Product covers both strategic planning and operational technology delivery. We maintain high standards for our vendors because our clients hold us to high standards — a bar we expect our partners to meet.
What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?
Our platform had been maintained by a previous vendor for three years and the accumulated technical debt had reached a point where delivery velocity had dropped to a fraction of what it should have been. We needed fresh engineering expertise and a structured plan to address the underlying issues.
What services did the company provide for your project?
The core engagement was Mobile App Development delivery, though their scope expanded to include technical consultancy during discovery that materially improved our requirements. They also took ownership of the third-party integration workstream that had been a coordination challenge in previous projects, removing that complexity from our internal team entirely.
Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?
We ran a structured shortlisting process across five vendors. The technical evaluation eliminated two immediately. Of the remaining three, this team's proposal was differentiated by the specificity of their Mobile App Development approach and the evidence base they provided — reference projects in Food & Beverage contexts, not generic case studies. The reference calls confirmed a track record that the proposal had described accurately.
How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?
Comprehensively. The discovery phase they ran was more thorough than anything we had experienced with previous vendors. They challenged requirements that were vague or contradictory, proposed alternatives where our initial thinking was limiting, and produced a functional specification that our internal stakeholders agreed was the clearest articulation of the product they had seen written down.
How was your overall experience with their communication and project management?
Communication was proactive, timely, and appropriately calibrated. Technical updates for the engineering audience, executive summaries for the steering group, risk flags with proposed mitigations rather than just problem statements. The fortnightly sprint reviews gave our stakeholders visibility without requiring them to attend every working session.
Did the company deliver the project on time and within your expected budget?
Yes. I had privately built a contingency expectation into my planning given the project complexity and the number of integrations involved. None of that contingency was needed. The delivery landed on the agreed date and the final invoice matched the approved budget to within a fraction of a percent. That outcome is rarer than the industry acknowledges.
What tangible results or business impact have you seen since the project was completed?
Quantifying the impact precisely is complicated by other variables in our business, but the metrics we can attribute directly to the Mobile App Development work are meaningful: session duration up, conversion rate up, error rate down, and our NPS for the digital touchpoint has improved by eleven points. Our account managers report that the new capability is coming up positively in client conversations.
What did you like most about working with this company?
The willingness to be direct. When our requirements were unclear they said so. When our priorities were contradictory they explained why. When a technical approach we had assumed was the right one turned out to have significant downsides, they told us before we had committed to it. That kind of intellectual honesty is what I look for in a long-term technology partner.
Would you recommend this company to others, and would you work with them again?
Unreservedly. We are in active scoping conversations for a second engagement and I expect this to develop into a multi-year partnership. For any organisation in the Food & Beverage sector looking for Mobile App Development expertise combined with genuine delivery discipline, I would put this team at the top of the evaluation list.

FAQs

Can I just hire developers from Existek to sit alongside my own team?
Usually, yes — a dedicated developer arrangement is a common option with firms like Existek, where you get engineers working exclusively on your project as an extension of your in-house team rather than as a separate outsourced unit. For context, its listed capabilities span Smart Contracts Audits, Unity 3D Game Development, iPhone App Development, Chat Bots & AI Development and Mobile App Design, and its average project cost is reported at $50000+.
Would Existek be a good fit for an early-stage startup?
Generally, yes — companies like Existek tend to work well with startups because of what they typically offer: MVP builds, product strategy input, architecture that can scale later, and dedicated teams that keep costs manageable while still moving fast. For context, its listed capabilities span Smart Contracts Audits, Unity 3D Game Development, iPhone App Development, Chat Bots & AI Development and Mobile App Design, and it has been operating since 2012.
What happens with Existek after the project actually launches?
Like most established software teams, Existek typically sticks around post-launch for ongoing maintenance — bug fixes, performance tuning, security patching, new feature work, and general technical support. For context, it has experience across industries such as Real Estate, Events & Event Management, Food & Beverage and Legal Services, and its typical hourly rate is around $25 - $49.
Will Existek sign an NDA before we even discuss the project in detail?
Most professional shops, including Existek, expect to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before getting into specifics — it's a fairly standard ask and a reasonable one to make before sharing anything sensitive. For context, its listed capabilities span Smart Contracts Audits, Unity 3D Game Development, iPhone App Development, Chat Bots & AI Development and Mobile App Design, and its average project cost is reported at $50000+.
Roughly how long does a project with Existek take start to finish?
It depends heavily on scope. A lean MVP might be a matter of weeks, while a full enterprise system or a larger digital transformation project can stretch into months once you factor in development, testing, and deployment. With a team of 50 - 249 professionals, Existek can scale resources based on project urgency.
Can Existek take on an old, outdated system rather than starting from scratch?
Modernizing legacy software is usually within scope for a firm like Existek — re-platforming, refactoring old code, and moving things onto current frameworks or cloud infrastructure without necessarily rebuilding everything from zero. For context, it has experience across industries such as Real Estate, Events & Event Management, Food & Beverage and Legal Services, and its average project cost is reported at $50000+.
What kind of software work does Existek take on?
Existek typically covers the standard range of software development work — mobile apps, web platforms, custom internal tools, UI/UX design, cloud infrastructure, AI integrations, and larger enterprise builds. Its core focus areas include Smart Contracts Audits, Unity 3D Game Development, iPhone App Development, Chat Bots & AI Development and Mobile App Design.
What does Existek's actual delivery process look like week to week?
Existek generally runs something close to a standard structured process — requirements gathering, UI/UX design, development in agile sprints, QA testing along the way, deployment, and support once it's live. For context, it has experience across industries such as Real Estate, Events & Event Management, Food & Beverage and Legal Services, and it has been operating since 2012.
What's actually in Existek's technical toolkit?
The exact stack shifts by project, but Existek commonly works across things like React, Angular, Vue.js, Node.js, Python, .NET, Java, PHP, Flutter, React Native, native iOS and Android, and cloud platforms like AWS and Azure. For context, its listed capabilities span Smart Contracts Audits, Unity 3D Game Development, iPhone App Development, Chat Bots & AI Development and Mobile App Design, and its average project cost is reported at $50000+.
