Twenty years of enterprise systems, applied to businesses that are not enterprises
Safal Consulting is led by Devi Padikkal. Before founding Safal, she spent two decades in enterprise technology at Telstra, IBM, VMware, McAfee and Hewlett Packard, working on the CRM and platform systems that large organisations run on.
Safal exists because most growing businesses cannot buy that. They get either an enterprise consultancy priced for enterprises, or a freelancer who can build what is asked for but not tell them whether it is the right thing to build. Safal is the middle: enterprise-grade judgement at a size that fits a business with fifteen people rather than fifteen thousand.
We are based in Bengaluru and work with clients across India, Australia and the United States.
How we work
We say no when it won't pay back
Losing a project is cheaper for both of us than delivering one that doesn’t work
We map before we build
Discovery comes first, always
We are direct
About cost, timeline and risk, including when the honest answer is that you don’t need us.
We stay
Most clients have been with us for years, several came back without looking elsewhere.

Clients who stayed
“The team had very clear ideas and approach to scoping and quoting. Devi and her developers provided valuable suggestions to improve the user experience as well as long-term architecture and scaling. We foresee working together for a long time to come.”

“We are a completely non-IT based organisation. Devi offered multiple design options and gave us a feel early on for how each page would finally look, which helped us visualise and edit content suitably. Her attention to detail is reflected in every part of the site.”
