Tekdi Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

Tekdi Technologies was founded in 2006 and operates from Pune, India, with additional offices in Bangalore, Carlsbad (California), and Solapur. The company has delivered over 200 projects and created 40+ open-source products. Led by co-founders Parth Lawate (CEO), Ashwin Date (CTO), Himangi Chhatre (CFO), and Manali Kumthekar (CPO), Tekdi focuses on digital transformation across education, government, agriculture, fintech, and non-profit sectors. The firm emphasizes open-source technology and digital public goods (DPGs), positioning itself around what it calls a "product-first approach" and reusable architecture rather than one-off custom builds.

Services and capabilities

Tekdi delivers digital transformation solutions across four main areas: e-commerce and marketplaces, content publishing and management systems, customer experience platforms, and learning and education technology. The company works across government, enterprise, and non-profit segments.

In education specifically, Tekdi builds e-learning platforms and learning management systems. It has developed Sunbird-based systems for credential management and microservices architectures. The firm also builds interview management systems, talent recruitment platforms, and assessment tools—including a platform for one of India's largest media companies that handles multi-stage recruitment workflows with automated assessor assignment and parametric evaluation tools.

For agricultural and supply-chain clients, Tekdi has migrated legacy systems to open-source ERPs like Frappe Framework to manage multi-warehouse inventory and commodity tracking. In the public sector, it has digitised programs serving citizens at scale, including work with India's Unique Identification Authority (Aadhaar) and systems for benefit delivery and skilling initiatives. The company also builds platforms for non-profits, associations, and NGOs to handle donor management, record-keeping, and fund access.

Notable work

Tekdi has worked with government agencies and large non-profits on significant-scale projects. For the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIAA/Aadhaar), it delivered a mobile website and UI revamp. For EIT Climate-KIC, a European knowledge and innovation community, Tekdi built a scalable open-source platform for program management.

In education, Tekdi developed a unified learning application with short-form video and interactive assessments. For a national skilling initiative, it built a Sunbird-based system with AI-driven verifiable credentials to serve 1.8 crore (18 million) citizens. For Nigeria's education sector, it implemented digital credentials using Sunbird RC. The company also built a voice-based authentication learning platform for remote Africa, addressing literacy barriers.

For Kisan, a large food grain warehouse in central India with 20,000 metric tonne storage capacity, Tekdi provided a digital backbone for agricultural operations. For the Association of Designers of India (ADI), it created a digital platform to connect designers and promote best practices. It has also built systems for Prayas (a non-profit focused on electricity supply accountability) and a SaaS platform for data protection education and audit compliance.

The writer recruitment case study shows concrete workflow design: Tekdi built an online platform for one of India's largest media companies to run a two-stage recruitment process where applicants submit writing samples, junior assessors and special readers evaluate submissions using parametric rubrics with load-balanced assignment, and final approvals flow through senior assessors and admins.

How they work

Tekdi's approach emphasises open-source technology and building reusable, generic solutions rather than purely custom work. The company has created 40+ open-source products and positions itself around modular, scalable architecture. Clients include enterprises, government agencies, and non-profits.
