Our story
We started with service. The technology came after.
TechSum is one team that designs, builds and looks after what growing businesses run on: websites, apps, software, AI and automation, security and the infrastructure behind them. Sarthak Umesh Salokhe founded it in 2021 on one idea: serve the business first, and let that decide what gets built.

Our story
What is TechSum, and why does it exist?
We work across ten disciplines, from product development and web design and development to data and analytics, AI and automation, trust, security and compliance, infrastructure and search and answer visibility. The standard is the same for a landing page and for a platform.
The name holds two ideas
Technology as a tool: the software, the systems and the hosting that make an idea real.
The total: design, engineering, strategy and care adding up to more than any one of them alone.
Products we build and run
- Site Bitea chatbot for websites
- Art-icleda content engine
- Client Ops Portalmaintenance work kept on record
Running our own software keeps us honest about what it takes to look after yours.
Where it starts
Where does the way we work come from?
Satya, radical honesty. We tell you when an idea needs rethinking, and when we are not the right team for it. Where we can, we point you to someone who is.
Tapas, disciplined effort. Consistency over brilliance. A landing page gets the same care as a platform, because the size of a project never decides the standard.
Ahimsa, do no harm. We do not overbill, overpromise or oversell. If the simpler solution is the right one, we recommend it, even when a bigger build would pay us more.
Gyan, continuous learning. We built AI into how we work early, and we keep learning. It drafts and checks alongside the team, and the time it saves goes into the decisions that need a person’s judgment.
Shraddha, deep trust. The best work happens when you trust us enough to let us get on with it. We earn that with what we make and how we hand it over: every source file, every login, nothing held back.
Ananda, joy in the doing. We take on work we believe in. You can feel it in the result, and in every conversation along the way.
We charge for our work. The service is in the attention we bring to it, from the first conversation to long after launch, as you can see in how we work. All of it started with one person’s way of working.
The founder
Who founded TechSum?
Capability
He works across the whole job. He shapes the brief and the technical plan, designs the interface and writes the scope, and he has led software delivery for government bodies and large companies.
Creativity
He looks for the version of an idea that fits the business in front of him, instead of reaching for a stock template.
Innovation
It shows in the products we build and run ourselves, and in studio concepts such as the Sundial and Studio Desk prototypes.
He joins the first conversation and stays with the project. He asks about your business before he proposes anything, explains why something is needed before he asks you to commit to it, and tells you when we are not the right team for the job.

Grew the technology and delivery team
5to25people

The work involved building, and leading the build of, software across equipment, service desk, property and compliance systems, with technical solution design and pre-sales on every engagement. The same experience informs our trust, security and compliance work, and it is the same discipline every engagement gets, whatever its size. We implement the controls. Partner counsel advises on legal interpretation, and certification and formal testing go through accredited partners.
How we work
How does the TechSum team work?
You talk to the people doing the work
No account managers in between. The person you explain the problem to is the person who solves it.
One team for everything
Design, build, security and care in one place. When a job needs a specialist, we bring in a trusted partner, and you still deal with us.
Honest about fit
We would rather lose a project than start one we cannot do well.
We stay after launch
Updates, security fixes and monitoring carry on through a care plan, with every request logged where you can see it.
In their words
In their own words.
Talk to the people who do the work
Tell us what is slowing you down.
Write whenever it suits you. A person on the team reads every message.
Write to us
Name and email are enough to start. “Not sure yet” is a fine answer.
Or book a short call
Pick a time that suits you. We talk about your business and what should change, and you leave with a sensible first step.
