Nitin Mahajan
Founder of 88 Ventures & QuickAds
We consulted Siddharth with some of our technology challenges, and his guidance was invaluable.
He helped us make high-level tech decisions, implement best practices, and ensure smooth execution. His deep experience was evident in his clear and actionable advice.
If you’re looking for a Fractional CTO to elevate your SaaS company, I highly recommend Siddharth.
Neha Varma
CEO at Startupflux
Siddharth helped me with many SAAS products of my clients. The ideation, execution and final delivery of the product was done seamlessly. He understands the business pretty well and is proactive.
He is time efficient and excellent with his work. Highly Recommended!!
Tom Winter
Founder at SEOwind
Having the opportunity to work closely with Siddharth has been a pleasure. His strong skills in SaaS development are evident in the quality of his work.
He consistently demonstrates a good understanding of our business needs and has a knack for developing solutions that meet those needs effectively.
Siddharth's technical knowledge is clear, and his commitment to delivering high-quality work is commendable. Collaborating with him has been positive, and I'm keen to continue working with him moving forward with SEOwind.
Avery Smith
Founder Data Career Jumpstart
Sid is awesome. He not only is great technically, but he has great business savvy. He helped me realize things I wasn't even thinking of. Would recommend working with him for sure!
Uma Annamalai
Stealth Mode, Ex Google & Harvard
Siddharth was my fractional CTO for an AI HR Tech SaaS startup. He has a thorough understanding of AI and the latest tech stacks that are suitable for specific use-cases. I have a non-technical background and he was able to explain technical concepts in a digestible format.
Siddharth became a trusted advisor and friend. I highly recommend him for founders looking for a senior engineering leader, who loves building and nurturing early stage startups end to end from hiring to engineering execution.
Ivana Todorovic
Co-founder & CEO at AuthoredUp
Siddharth is the person you want to work with! What I love the most is that he understands SaaS both from the product and development side. He is willing to share honest feedback even when that means you won't need his services.
He cares about your business the same as you do. That is how real partnerships are built.
Purushottam Kiri
Founder at Contenteum
I had an idea and an MVP spec sheet. It's difficult being a first time founder because there are many surprises, good and bad.
We decided to hire Siddharth for our product, and I cannot recommend him enough. Getting a trusted and skilled dev team that knows how to get stuff done was everything we needed.
We are still working together, 4 years later. If you are a SaaS startup and have no clue who to hire, take my word for it and go for them.

Frequently Asked Question
If your question isn't addressed here, feel free to reach out—I'm always ready to provide further assistance
What are the payment terms for the Focused Solution and Comprehensive Audit Package?
For these one-time services, payment is typically split into two parts: 50% upfront at the time of booking and the remaining 50% within 4 days after the delivery of the service. However, for clients who come through references, 100% post-payment is also acceptable as a gesture of trust and goodwill.
What are the payment terms for Monthly Consultation Services?
For monthly consultations, 50% is paid in advance, and the remaining 50% is due between the 1st and 5th of the following month. From the second month onward, there is no advance payment; the full amount is due between the 1st and 5th of each month.
How are hours tracked, reported, and extra hours calculated for Monthly Consultation?
For monthly consultation, a single Google Sheet is shared with you and updated continuously. This sheet includes the date, time spent in hours, and the tasks completed on that day. The same sheet is used every month, ensuring all information is consolidated in one place for easy reference and transparency. When the 20-hour limit is reached, I notify you for confirmation before logging additional hours. Extra hours are only tracked and billed with your explicit approval, unless you have mentioned that prior approval is not necessary. This keeps you fully informed and in control of the time and cost.
What is your refund policy?
I’m happy to process a refund. The refund amount would be calculated by deducting the hours I’ve already spent on your project, billed at my hourly rate. If no hours were spent due to unforeseen circumstances on my side, a 100% refund would be made without hesitation. My goal is to ensure fairness and maintain trust in all engagements.
How will we communicate and collaborate, and how involved do I need to be during the process?
For short-term engagements, we typically use Google Meet for scheduled discussions, and you can stay in touch with me via the email address I’ll share with you. For long-term engagements, we also use Google Meet for regular meetings, and you’ll have the option to communicate with me via Slack or a dedicated WhatsApp group for quicker updates. Your level of involvement is entirely up to you. Many early-stage founders prefer to stay closely involved in the process, attending meetings and discussions frequently. For Fractional CTO services, where I take responsibility for managing the entire tech team, your involvement is often lighter. In those cases, we usually meet for about two hours per week to review progress and align on priorities.
Do you sign NDAs or contracts before starting?
For short-term engagements, I generally do not sign NDAs, as these projects typically involve limited access to sensitive information. However, for long-term engagements where I am given full access to the codebase, engineering team, or other proprietary assets, I am happy to sign an NDA to ensure confidentiality and protect your intellectual property.
Can you start immediately, how many clients do you work with at a time, and what are your working hours?
Starting immediately depends on my current schedule. Please feel free to get in touch, and we can figure out the earliest availability. Most of the time, I’m available for short-term engagements without delay. For long-term engagements, I typically work with 3 to 4 clients at a time to ensure I can dedicate ample attention to each. My general working hours are from 11 AM to midnight, which allows me to be accessible across most major time zones. This works well for clients from the US, Europe, East Asia, and India, ensuring seamless communication and collaboration regardless of location.
