Project Management Software for Technology Startups in Kolkata
Kolkata's newer IT sector around Salt Lake grew up next to a much older trading economy. ShipSprint is priced for the five-person startup, not the established firm down the street.
Building a reputation next to firms with a century's head start
Long-established trading houses and distribution networks still anchor much of Kolkata's economy, running on relationships that predate any software category by decades, while a genuinely newer IT sector has grown up steadily around Salt Lake's Sector V without displacing that older base. A young startup here has to earn trust the slow way, without the decades of history the trading houses next door simply take for granted.
That newer company also doesn't inherit the budget or headcount of the bigger names nearby. It's four or five people covering every job at once, a founder writing a launch email at nine and reviewing a candidate's resume by noon, with no spare hour to configure a workflow builder and no budget for the tier that unlocks the one feature the team actually needs.
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 shifts with the exchange rate.
What matters before you've hired a function out
Nothing here needs a relationship built up over years to start using well.
Five users and two projects run on the full product at no cost, permanently, not a scaled-back preview of what a paying customer gets. A new company starts building its own history on it immediately.
Engineering, HR, marketing and operations each keep their own templates on the same account, useful for a small team that doesn't have the relationships, or the time, to manage four separate vendor contracts.
A new workspace opens with a sample project already loaded, so a team can start moving actual work onto it the same afternoon, with nothing to prove to anyone first.
Where a trading house has decades of relationship history to lean on, a young company has to build its own record from the first decision. The wiki keeps that reasoning attached to the work, with full history.
What shows up first at login is today's actual list, not a summary to interpret. A five-second entry logs time, and one tap flags being blocked, routing it directly to whoever can resolve it.
Free that asks for no history, no references
A lot of the tools a founder tries first call something "free" when it's really a two-week trial, or a seat cap set low enough to force an upgrade before the second sprint ends. ShipSprint's Free plan carries no such deadline. Five users and two projects run indefinitely on the exact product a Business customer pays for, with no relationship history required to earn those terms.
In a market where most vendor and client relationships already run in rupees, a per-seat rate quoted in dollars never made much sense to begin with. A price that holds steady against the exchange rate is simply easier for a young team to plan a budget around, and GST-compliant invoicing from a company registered in Hyderabad keeps the paperwork behind the subscription straightforward from the very first invoice.
Once a Salt Lake team does cross five people, Team is ₹299 per user per month, still priced for a founding team's budget rather than a trading house's. Business adds forecasts, scorecards, the owner command center and SSO for ₹599 per user per month, with annual billing available on either. It stays the same product a team already knows, with more of it turned on.
Questions from Kolkata startups
It's permanent. A team of five running two projects stays on the Free plan indefinitely, on the same underlying product as the paid tiers. Upgrading only happens once those numbers are genuinely, actually outgrown.
Not at all. The Free plan is sized for exactly this stage, and a sample project is preloaded so there's a working board from the first login. Most founding teams stay on it comfortably until headcount genuinely grows past it.
It isn't. Engineering gets the deepest toolset on the platform, but HR, marketing and operations sit on the same subscription with templates built for their own work, which is exactly what a founder splitting attention across two of those functions needs.
Yes, billing runs in rupees with full GST compliance on every invoice, and annual billing is available on paid plans. Full detail is on pricing.
