About i.include
Starting with code. Built to include more.
i.include is a software engineering studio based in Pune, India. Today we build and modernize mobile apps, websites, and backend systems. The name reflects where we want to go next.
The kasturi mrug
In a story told across India, the musk deer, the kasturi mrug, catches a beautiful fragrance and spends its life searching the forest for its source, never realising the fragrance comes from within itself.
We take a simple lesson from it. Businesses often look elsewhere for answers they could build themselves, with the right help. Engineers often assume the solution is the next tool or framework, when it is usually careful thinking about the problem in front of them.
Our mark, a pair of antlers around an “i”, is a reminder of that idea: discover the capability that is already there, then develop it into something real.
Focused today. Open tomorrow.
“i.include” means we do not believe in a fixed ceiling on what we can learn to do. Over time we hope to include other creative and technical disciplines. For now, we are deliberately focused on software engineering, because that is where our experience and evidence are.

Who you will work with
i.include is led by Sunil Otale, a software engineer with hands-on experience across React Native, Next.js, Java and Spring Boot, workflow automation, and test automation. The work listed on this site comes from that experience.
How we hold ourselves accountable
- Maintainable over clever
- Clear structure and naming, so the next developer, ours or yours, can understand and change the code.
- Secure by habit
- Secrets stay out of source code, inputs are validated, and dependencies are kept current.
- Tested where it matters
- Automated checks guard critical behaviour; we tell you plainly what is and is not covered.
- Fast and accessible
- Performance and accessibility are designed in from the start, not patched in before launch.
- Transparent decisions
- Technical trade-offs are explained in plain language, so you can make informed choices.
- Documented handover
- Every engagement ends with notes on how things work, how to run them, and what to watch.
