About
The price, the rules and the acceptance process behind Code Colonies work.
2good.dev is the delivery model of Code Colonies: the terms on which software and AI work from Code Colonies Private Limited is bought, at INR 199 or USD 2 an hour, with nothing paid in advance.
Why it exists
Good software had become too expensive for the people who needed it most.
Founders were quoted more than their first round could carry. Small manufacturers and traders kept running on Excel because a custom system looked out of reach. Overseas teams had tried offshore delivery and been let down by work that was not what it seemed.
The cost of building software has come down. AI handles much of the routine work, and a trained delivery team keeps quality steady. 2good passes that saving on, and puts the financial risk on our side: you pay only after you have tested the work against a signed specification and accepted it.
The work itself is done by the Code Colonies technology team in Ahmedabad, with senior review, testing and project management in every block.
Who stands behind it
An engineer's company.
Code Colonies is based in India and delivers for clients worldwide, across consulting, technology and AI. Junior engineers come through its on the job training programme, run under AksharAI, and work under senior review on every client block.
