Project Management Software for Technology Startups in Bengaluru
Bengaluru has more startups per square kilometre than almost anywhere in the country. ShipSprint is built for the ones still working out of a six-person team, not the ones that already have a platform org.
A startup scene with a services giant standing next to it
Bengaluru's technology corridor around Whitefield holds two very different kinds of company at once: large, established IT services floors that have been billing clients by the hour for two decades, and a much younger layer of startups renting a fraction of a floor two doors down. The younger companies inherit none of the older ones' budget or headcount, but they're expected to look just as organized, with a roadmap, an HR process and a marketing calendar, even when the whole company is six people who each own three of those jobs before lunch.
That's the actual shape of an early-stage Bengaluru team: an engineer who also screens candidates, a founder who also writes the launch email, nobody with the bandwidth to own a tool nobody else can touch. Most project software assumes a company has grown past that stage already, with time tracking behind one paywall, a wiki behind another, and a "free" tier that's really a thirty-day countdown dressed up as a trial.
ShipSprint's free plan isn't a trial. It's five users and two projects, forever, on the same product a paying team uses, and it's billed in rupees with GST-compliant invoices from the point a team does start paying, from a company registered in Hyderabad rather than converted from a dollar price list built for someone else's market.
What a resource-scarce team actually needs
None of this requires hiring a person to run it first.
Five users and two projects, permanently, on the full product rather than a stripped preview. A founding team can run real sprints on it and only pay once headcount or project count actually crosses that line.
Engineering, HR, marketing and operations each get their own templates and vocabulary on the same account, so a six-person team runs every function without stitching together five separate tools nobody has time to maintain.
A new workspace opens with a sample project already loaded, so a founder can see what a real board looks like before touching a setting, and start moving actual work onto it the same afternoon.
Early-stage decisions get revisited constantly. The built-in wiki keeps the current reasoning next to the work it affects, with page history, and any sentence on a page can become a task without retyping it.
Everyone opens to a "my day" screen: today's items, a five-second time log, and one tap to say "I'm blocked", which pulls in the right person with context attached instead of a message sitting in a chat thread.
A free tier that doesn't quietly become a countdown
A lot of the tools a Whitefield founder has already tried offer something called "free", and it's usually a fourteen-day window dressed up as generosity, or a plan capped so low it stops being usable before a team's second sprint. ShipSprint's Free plan has no clock on it: five users and two projects run indefinitely, and the product underneath is the same one a Business customer uses, not a cut-down demo built to be outgrown on purpose.
Rupee billing matters here in a way it wouldn't for a bigger company with a finance team absorbing currency swings. A founder budgeting against a seed round doesn't want a per-seat number that moves with the exchange rate on every renewal, and GST-compliant invoicing from a company registered in Hyderabad means the number on the books is the number that was actually agreed to, not something a bookkeeper has to reconcile against a foreign currency statement each quarter.
When a Whitefield team does cross five people, or takes on a third project, moving to Team is ₹299 per user per month, still priced for a founding team rather than a services floor down the road. Business adds forecasts, scorecards, the owner command center and SSO for ₹599 per user per month, and annual billing is available on both once a founder would rather settle the number once a year than watch a monthly charge. None of that requires switching tools or losing a team's history, it's the same product with more turned on.
Questions from Bengaluru startups
Yes. Up to five users and two projects run on the Free plan indefinitely, on the same underlying product as the paid tiers, with no expiry date. You move to a paid plan when your team or project count actually outgrows those limits, not on a schedule we set.
No. The Free plan is built for exactly this stage: boards, time logging, the wiki and the "my day" screen all work the same at two people as they do at forty. Most founding teams stay on it comfortably until headcount grows, then move up a tier rather than switching tools.
No. Engineering gets the deepest tooling with GitHub integration and sprint analytics, but HR, marketing and operations run on the same account with their own templates, which is exactly the shape of a small team where one person often owns more than one of those jobs.
Yes. Billing is in rupees with GST-compliant invoices, and annual billing is available once you're on a paid plan. See pricing for the current numbers.
