Frequently Asked Questions
What is the engagement model?

We begin with an initial consultation to understand your business goals and technical challenges. Based on this assessment, Ram will create a customized plan detailing the scope of work, timeline, and deliverables. This approach ensures you receive the strategic guidance and technical expertise you need, precisely when you need it, without the commitment of a full-time executive.

This includes signing non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) before any collaboration begins, implementing secure communication channels, and following best practices for data protection.
