Mad Method (madmethod.io) is a product and growth studio based in Bengaluru that designs and builds web and mobile apps, SaaS platforms and marketplaces for founders. Two founders lead every project, with a small senior team and dozens of AI agents. You get a written scope and a clickable prototype in two weeks, a first version live with real users in four to six weeks, and a fixed fee agreed before any code is written.
It turns an idea into software people can use: it scopes what to build first, designs the screens, writes the web, mobile and backend code, connects payments and the tools you already run, and puts it live. A good one also tells you what not to build yet. We do all of it with one team, so the people who scope your app are the people who ship it.
what we do
Accounts for many companies on one platform, roles and permissions, dashboards and subscription billing. For Wanderfly we built Razorpay subscriptions, GST invoices and prorated seats.
Two- and three-sided marketplaces with profiles, search, bookings, payments and payouts. For Serene Healing, every rupee an expert earns lands in one ledger, with monthly payouts on top.
A web app, an app people install on their phone, or both, on one backend. Serene runs as an installable web app; Skoolaa, in progress, pairs school portals with a mobile app for parents.
AI inside the product, not stuck on the side. Wanderfly's Safe Space companion picks from 14 guided exercises mid-chat and falls back across several AI models so it stays up.
Slack, calendars, video calls, email, payments and the internal tools your team already uses, connected so nobody copies data by hand.
Built a first version in Lovable, Bolt, Replit or Cursor? We read the code, test it like an attacker would and give you a keep, fix or rebuild verdict before real users touch it.
We write down what the first version must do, map the user flows and build a clickable prototype you can test with users or show investors. The fee is credited toward the build if you go on.

At Mad Method, a scoping sprint with a clickable prototype starts at ₹50K, a first version (MVP, phase 1) at ₹1.5L and a full product build at ₹3L, before GST. Outside India the same rungs start at $1,250, $3,750 and $7,500. Every project is a fixed fee agreed in writing before we start, never billed by the hour.
Two weeks for the scope and clickable prototype, four to six weeks for a first version live with real users, and eight to twelve weeks for a full product with web, mobile, payments and admin tools. Something ships every two-week sprint.
Both. Wanderfly runs as a web app and inside Slack, Serene Healing is a web app people can install on their phone, and Skoolaa, in progress, has web portals for schools and a mobile app for parents. We pick native or installable web per project, based on what your users need and what it costs.
You do. Code, design files, accounts and app store listings are in your name from day one.
Yes. A launch-readiness audit starts at ₹30K ($750 outside India) and takes one week: a 12-point security check, a keep, fix or rebuild verdict and a line-by-line cost to production. It's an audit and a plan, not the fixes, and it's credited in full toward an MVP or full product build.
No. The studio is based in Bengaluru and works remotely with founders across India, the US and the UAE / Middle East, in English, with a working demo every two weeks.
