Who we are

A small studio that ships

PandaPath is an AI product studio in Bangalore. We exist because Indian founders kept paying big-agency prices for junior work delivered six months late.

Weeks, not quarters

Scoped in one call, first working build inside two weeks. You see progress every few days, not at a monthly review.

Talk to the developer

No account managers, no relay. The person writing your code is the person on WhatsApp answering your questions.

Fixed price, quoted upfront

You get a number before we start and it does not move. No hourly billing, no scope-creep invoices at the end.

Yours to keep

Full source code, your cloud accounts, your data. Nothing is locked to us — including the right to walk away.

What we build

Four ways to start

Every engagement is fixed-price and fixed-scope. Pick the one that matches where you are — or take the audit first and decide afterwards.

from ₹25,000
2 weeks

WhatsApp AI Bot

Automated WhatsApp support and lead capture

A WhatsApp assistant that answers customer questions, captures leads and books appointments around the clock — in Hindi and English, on the number your customers already message.

from ₹40,000
3 weeks

RAG Knowledge System

Your documents turned into a searchable AI assistant

Point it at your PDFs, SOPs, Notion pages and contracts, and your team can ask questions in plain English. Answers cite the source document, so nobody has to take the model on faith.

from ₹80,000
4–6 weeks

Full AI Product Build

End-to-end web or mobile product with AI built in

The whole thing: product design, front end, APIs, database, AI features and production deployment. You finish with a live product, the source code and a running CI pipeline.

from ₹6,000
2 hours

AI Business Audit

Find out where AI actually pays off in your business

A two-hour working session where we map your operations and tell you which three things are worth automating — and, just as usefully, which are not.

Selected work

What we've shipped

A few recent builds. Client names are withheld under NDA — the problems, the approach and the timelines are exactly as delivered.

D2C brand · Bangalore

WhatsApp Sales Assistant

The problem

Two staff were answering the same product questions on WhatsApp all day, and enquiries that arrived after 8pm went cold overnight.

What we built

An assistant that handles catalogue questions, sizing and order status on its own, and hands the genuinely complex ones to a human with the conversation already summarised.

Internal Knowledge Assistant

The problem

Support agents were digging through four years of scattered PDFs and Notion pages to answer a single customer ticket.

What we built

A retrieval system over the whole document estate. Agents ask in plain English and get an answer with the source paragraph attached, so they can verify before they send.

Operations Analytics Platform

The problem

Daily operating numbers lived in five spreadsheets that were reconciled by hand every morning before the standup.

What we built

A live dashboard fed straight from their systems, with anomaly alerts that flag a route or depot drifting out of range before it turns into a customer complaint.

How we work

Five steps, no surprises

The same sequence on every project. You always know which step you're in and what comes next.

  1. 01Day 1

    Scope

    One call to understand the problem. You leave with a fixed quote and a delivery date — not a proposal deck.

  2. 02Days 2–4

    Design

    Flows and screens agreed before a line of code. Cheap to change now, expensive to change later.

  3. 03Weeks 1–3

    Build

    You get a working link within days and it updates continuously. Feedback goes straight to the developer.

  4. 04Launch week

    Ship

    Deployed to your own cloud with monitoring, backups and a rollback path. Source code handed over.

  5. 0530 days+

    Support

    A month of fixes and tuning included. Stay on a retainer or take it in-house — your call.

Questions

Straight answers

The things founders ask us before signing. If yours isn't here, message us on WhatsApp — you'll get a real answer, not a brochure.

How much does it cost to build an AI chatbot in India?

A production WhatsApp AI bot from PandaPath starts at ₹25,000 and goes live in about two weeks. A RAG knowledge system starts at ₹40,000, and a full AI product build starts at ₹80,000. Every project is quoted as a fixed price before work begins, so the number you are given at the start is the number you pay.

How long does an AI project take to build?

Most builds ship in two to four weeks. A WhatsApp bot typically takes two weeks, a RAG knowledge system three weeks, and a complete AI product four to six weeks. You get a working link to try within the first few days rather than waiting until the end.

What is a RAG system and does my business need one?

RAG — retrieval-augmented generation — lets an AI answer questions using your own documents instead of general internet knowledge, and cite where each answer came from. It is worth it if your team repeatedly hunts through PDFs, SOPs, policies or support history to answer the same questions. If your knowledge already fits on one page, you do not need one, and we will say so.

Do you work with startups outside Bangalore?

Yes. We are based in Bangalore and work with founders across India — Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Pune and Chennai — as well as Indian founders operating abroad. Everything runs over calls and WhatsApp, so location has never been the constraint.

Who owns the code and the data?

You do. Source code is handed over at launch, deployments run in your own cloud accounts, and your data is never used to train a public model. There is no vendor lock-in — you can take the project in-house or to another team at any point.

What if I am not sure which AI tool my business needs?

Start with the ₹6,000 AI Business Audit. It is a two-hour session that maps your operations and produces a written report on the three highest-value automations, with honest cost-versus-benefit for each. The fee is credited against your first project if you go ahead.

Can you integrate AI into an existing product?

Yes. A large share of our work is adding AI features — search, chat, summarisation, recommendations or document processing — to products that already exist and already have users. We work against your current stack rather than asking you to rewrite it.

Tell us what you're trying to build

Twenty minutes on a call is usually enough to tell you whether AI solves your problem, roughly what it costs, and how long it takes. If it isn't the right fit, we'll say so.
