Project Management Software for Technology Startups in Kochi
Kochi's tech workforce is distributed by choice more than by necessity. ShipSprint's free plan fits a five-person founding team scattered across the state as well as it fits one sitting together at Infopark.
Choosing Kerala means choosing not to be in one room
Two decades of growth around Infopark and Smart City built Kochi's IT sector, and along with local talent it's pulled in a steady stream of people who picked Kerala specifically because their work would let them live there. A startup founded here often reflects that from day one: a co-founder based in Kochi, an early engineer working from somewhere else in the state entirely, nobody assuming the whole team will be in one building. That's a genuine edge in hiring, but only if the tools a five-person team relies on don't quietly assume otherwise.
None of that comes with a bigger budget attached. A team spread across the state is still four or five people covering every function at once, without the headcount to split hiring, product and marketing into separate roles yet, and without room to pay for a platform priced like the company already has one.
ShipSprint's free plan is five users and two projects, forever, on the full product, billed in rupees with GST-compliant invoices from a company registered in Hyderabad, not a dollar price that moves with the exchange rate.
What matters before you've hired a function out
Nothing here assumes anyone is near a particular desk to make it work.
The full product runs at no cost for a team of five and two projects, indefinitely. Someone working from Kochi and someone working from three districts away see the exact same thing.
Each function keeps its own vocabulary inside a single account, which matters when a founder is hiring across the state and can't afford to also be managing four separate software bills.
A sample project is loaded before anyone's touched a setting, and status comes from the board rather than proximity, so it reads the same whether someone's at Infopark or working from home a district away.
A decision made over a video call needs to be just as findable a month later as one made in person. The wiki keeps that reasoning attached to the actual work, with full page history behind it.
Whoever logs in sees today's work first, not a dashboard to interpret. A five-second entry covers time logged, and one tap for being stuck reaches whoever's actually free to help, wherever they are.
Free that doesn't care which district you're logging in from
Most tools a founder tries first dress up a two-week trial as "free," or set a seat cap low enough to force an upgrade before the second sprint wraps. ShipSprint's Free plan carries no such deadline. Five users and two projects run on it indefinitely, and none of that depends on where any of those five people happen to be physically sitting.
A distributed founding team watching runway closely benefits more from rupee pricing than a company several years further along ever will, since a number that doesn't drift with an exchange rate is simply one less thing to track across a state-wide team. GST-compliant invoicing from a company registered in Hyderabad keeps the paperwork behind it just as straightforward, wherever in Kerala the invoice actually gets opened.
Once an Infopark-based team does cross five people, Team costs ₹299 per user per month, still priced for a founding team's budget. Business adds forecasts, scorecards, the owner command center and SSO for ₹599 per user per month, with annual billing available on either. It's the same product a distributed team already knows how to use, with more of it turned on.
Questions from Kochi startups
No, it stays free indefinitely. Five users and two projects run on the same underlying product a Business customer pays for, with no clock counting down anywhere. A team upgrades only once it genuinely outgrows those numbers.
None at all. Status comes from where a card sits on the board rather than from anyone's location, and the "my day" screen along with the blocker flow behave identically for everyone, regardless of which district they're logged in from.
No, and that matters here specifically. The deepest tooling sits with engineering, but HR, marketing and operations each keep their own templates on the same login, so a co-founder juggling two of those roles from two different towns still only has one account to check.
Yes, every charge is billed in rupees with a GST-compliant invoice, and annual billing becomes available once a team is on a paid plan. See pricing for current numbers.
