Also serving Mangalore and Mangaluru
Kottara's IT firms compete with Bengaluru for every good developer. Staff augmentation lets a Dakshina Kannada company add skilled engineers without joining that bidding war.

Trusted by 200+ organisations across India & overseas — including






























IT/ITES
Software exporters and services firms around the Kottara IT hub and Derebail extend their benches with Python, JavaScript, Flutter and QA engineers for client projects, keeping their own core team on architecture and client contact.
Banking and finance
Technology teams serving banks, cooperatives and finance companies add developers for portals, mobile apps and reporting work, under confidentiality terms suited to financial data.
Petrochemicals and refining
Engineering contractors and industrial groups near the SEZ with small IT departments bring in ERPNext and integration specialists for a defined rollout, then release them.
Mangaluru produces engineers in large numbers, from Surathkal to the colleges of Moodbidri and Puttur, and then watches many of them leave for Bengaluru. IT and ITES firms that stay in Dakshina Kannada feel this at every project start. A client signs, the work needs Frappe, Flutter or React skills next month, and local hiring takes a quarter.
Acube supplies developers, testers, designers and ERPNext specialists who work as part of your team, under your project manager, in your tools and your working hours. They are our employees, on our payroll, with our seniors behind them. You scale up for a delivery push and down when it ends. It suits product firms, IT services companies and the in-house IT departments of larger Mangalore groups alike.

By the time an offer is accepted and notice served, the deadline has moved closer. Augmented engineers can usually start after a short selection call, because they are already employed and already trained.
A technology vendor serving banking and finance clients may need a Frappe developer, a GIS engineer or a test automation specialist for one phase only. Carrying such a role full time in Mangaluru makes little sense. Borrowing it does.
When a key developer resigns mid-project, knowledge walks out. With augmentation, replacement and handover are our responsibility, and a senior on our side already knows the codebase.
An example
A product firm in Kottara promises a client release for the end of the month, and its two Flutter developers cannot carry the mobile app and the client's change requests at once. Two augmented engineers from Acube joined the sprint a fortnight ago after the firm's lead interviewed them. On Tuesday morning they are in the same stand-up, on the same repository, picking tickets from the same board. One finishes the payment screen the client asked for; the other clears the test automation backlog the firm never had time for. The founders spend the day with the client and on the architecture of the next module. When the release ships, the firm decides whether to keep one engineer for the next quarter or release both.
Augmented staff work remotely from Kochi, Kerala, inside your communication channels, stand-ups and repositories. Where a Dakshina Kannada client wants faces in the room for a kickoff or a release, we plan that trip to Mangaluru. You interview the people before they join. Contracts set out notice, replacement and confidentiality terms clearly, and the intellectual property in the work is yours.
Discovery and match. You share the need; we shortlist profiles, you interview and you choose.
Onboarding. Access, environments and context set up so work starts fast.
Sprint delivery. Work in your board, your repository and your chat, with code reviews.
Weekly visibility. Milestone demos, effort reporting and a named point of contact.
The scope and timeline are agreed in writing before work starts.
Yes. They follow your working hours, attend your meetings and use your ticketing, code repository and chat tools. For Mangaluru firms serving overseas clients, overlap hours can be agreed at the start.
Yes. We share profiles, you speak to the candidates, and you may set a technical task. Only people you accept are placed. If someone does not work out, we replace them under the contract terms.
In outsourcing we own delivery and manage the work. In augmentation you manage the work and we supply the capacity. Many Dakshina Kannada IT firms prefer the second because client relationships and architecture stay in their hands.
There are three models: a flat monthly rate per engineer, time and material for changing scope, or a fixed price for clearly defined work. We confirm the model and the rates in writing once we know the roles, skills and duration you need.
You speak to someone who does this work, not a call centre. They ask about the roles and skills you need, your stack and how your team works today. If it looks like a fit, we agree the scope and put it in writing, with the timeline, before any work starts. If it does not, we tell you.
IT SEZ (KIADB), near Konajepark
About 518 acres acquired and 154 developed as of 2011-12 near Mangalore University; the district profile notes an IT corridor and software park being facilitated by the state here.
The IT zone near Konaje is being developed as a software corridor beside the university. Firms settling there will need to scale delivery teams faster than local hiring allows.
