Why New Zealand teams work with us
Afternoon overlap
Our morning is your afternoon, so questions are answered the same day.
A written plan first
A PRD before the build, with priorities agreed together.
Founder-led
You talk to me directly from the first call to launch.
Your code, your accounts
Code, cloud and app store accounts in your company’s name.
Working hours that overlap
New Zealand is 6.5 hours ahead of India in the southern winter and 7.5 hours ahead in summer. Our morning overlaps with your afternoon, which is when we hold calls and demos. Work carries on through our day, so what you ask for in the afternoon is usually in progress by your next morning.

Questions from New Zealand founders
How much working time overlaps with New Zealand?
Usually two to three hours each working day, as our morning meets your afternoon. Everything else runs in writing, with progress shared daily.
Do you design for the Privacy Act 2020?
Yes. Collection notices, access and correction requests, security and breach handling are planned in from the start. Your legal adviser confirms the final position.
Can you host our product in the region?
Yes. We deploy to Australian or New Zealand cloud regions where data location matters to you or your customers.
Do you build for both iOS and Android?
Yes. Most products use one cross-platform codebase with React Native or Flutter, with native work where a feature needs it.
How quickly can we see a first version?
At Creuto the first working version typically takes about 4 weeks after the PRD is agreed.
