Founders AJ Sahni and Dhaval Gadhvi were freelancers, freelancing for many funded-startups. They found it very difficult to find development partners that were elastic, had a growth-driven process and agile enough to work coherently with fast-paced funded startups. In essence, it was almost non-existent.

That’s why In 2016, PICWA was born by coding digital products for funded-startups and enterprise companies. From there, demand for development grew and with the skills shortage locally, we were forced to establish offshore engineering hubs. We started off with opening our NZ hub in 2018 and then quickly opened up a campus in India.

We quickly noticed that startups and growth companies from all over the world were hesitant to hire globally because of the costs, compliance and time involved with creating an offshore development hub.

We're firm believers in fostering a culture and building in-house capability, especially when you're in growth mode and you have a long-term vision. We then decided to leverage our already well-oiled network and global infrastructure. Since then, we’ve helped build multiple in-house global teams using our campuses in India and the Phillipines.

Then in 2021, we started investing in a local recruitment infrastructure to support both New Zealand and Australia to harness the strength of our custom tools and unorthodox methods to make our recruitment outcomes better and faster for our clients.

We’re passionate about helping catalyst recruitment through ethical sourcing, a strong candidate expereince and outsourced technical skills assessments.

Everyone wins when candidates are happy and so are our clients.
