Project Management Software for Technology Startups in Chennai
For Chennai startups whose plan still lives in a group chat and the founder's notebook. How to move it into one workspace without a setup project, and what it costs as the team grows.

From group chat to a plan the team can see
Most startups begin with a chat group and a shared document. That works with three people. By the time there are seven, decisions made in chat are hard to find, nobody is sure who owns which task, and the founder is the only person who knows the whole picture, which means every question goes to them.
The moment to move is usually when the first non-founder hires arrive. They need to know what to work on without asking, where the decisions are written down and who to go to when they're stuck. Without that, the founder becomes the bottleneck the company is trying to grow past.
ShipSprint lets you make that move in an afternoon. A new workspace starts with a sample project already loaded, every project template is included on every plan, and the team can begin on Free.
The first things worth setting up
A product board. Sprints or a simple flow with WIP limits, fed by a triage inbox so feedback from early customers is looked at before it becomes someone's urgent task.
A wiki for decisions. Pricing choices, why you picked a stack, what you promised a pilot customer. Pages keep their history, and any sentence can become a task, so a decision turns into work without retyping.
A hiring pipeline and onboarding list. The HR templates give each candidate a card and each new joiner a first-week checklist with an owner, so starting at your company isn't improvised.
The my-day screen. Everyone opens to today's items, not the full backlog, and can tap "I'm blocked" to bring in the person who can help. Questions stop routing through the founder by default.
Signals that it's time to move up a plan
Each plan is per seat, in rupees.
You have 5 people or fewer, 2 projects are enough, and you only need boards. Free has no time limit and uses community support.
You want GitHub to move cards, need time tracking for a client pilot, or want AI assistants over MCP. ₹299 per user per month, up to 40 users.
There are team leads between you and the work, and you need forecasts, scorecards, the owner command center and the audit log. ₹599 per user per month.
Headcount is steady. Team is ₹2,899 and Business ₹6,499 per user per year, both plus GST.
Planning a small team's year
Pongal in January is the big regional festival here, and in a team of eight, two people away that week is a quarter of the company. Capacity planning on Team and up counts approved leave and public holidays, so a demo or a pilot go-live can be moved before the week arrives, not during it. Diwali and Holi need the same care, and since regional festivals differ from state to state, ask hires from other states which days they'll want. If you work some Saturdays, plan on that week.
On Business, the Monday digest and delivery forecasts from measured velocity give a founder a status picture for the board or investors without assembling it by hand.
ShipSprint has no screenshots, keystroke logging or activity tracking. Early employees notice how a company treats them, and a tool that doesn't watch them is part of that.
Using ShipSprint from Chennai: worth knowing
Who you're buying from. ShipSprint comes from Quantuva Technologies Pvt. Ltd., built in Hyderabad and billed in rupees with GST invoices. Paid plans get support by email and in-app chat.
Time zones. Support is on IST, the same as you, and usually replies the same working day.
Billing. Paid seats are charged in rupees through Razorpay. Prices exclude GST. Once the company has a valid GSTIN, the GST-compliant invoice lets you claim input-tax credit.
Data protection. Pilot customers' details and candidates' CVs are personal data under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. Before they go into the workspace, check the sub-processor list and the security overview against your own obligations and any customer contract.
Questions from Chennai startups
If nobody upgrades, the workspace carries on under Free, and nothing is deleted. Features beyond the core boards stop until you move to Team or Business.
No. Free is the core boards for 5 users and 2 projects. GitHub integration and time tracking start on Team.
Yes. A full JSON export of the workspace is available on every plan.
No. Marketing, HR and operations templates sit on the same subscription, which helps when one founder covers several of those jobs. See the pricing page for what each plan includes.
