What changes when it is government & public sector
A webhook without signature verification is an open endpoint. Retries without exponential backoff are a denial-of-service attack on your own partners.
In government & public sector, procurement, data sovereignty and accessibility obligations shape the architecture before anything else. That single fact reshapes how api design & integration has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.
The workload we are most often asked to take on first is citizen grievance triage, usually integrated against DigiLocker and Aadhaar-linked services. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.
Deployed across regulated and unregulated sectors, with audit trails where the regulator expects them. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions from this sector
Can AI systems be procured under GeM?
Yes, and we structure deliverables to fit standard procurement categories and evaluation criteria.
Does it work in regional languages?
It has to. Public services in India are multilingual by obligation, and we build for that rather than adding translation later.
REST or GraphQL?
REST for partner-facing and public APIs where caching and simplicity matter; GraphQL where a first-party client needs flexible, varied queries. Most systems end up with both, used deliberately.
Do you document it?
Generated from the OpenAPI specification, with a working sandbox. Documentation written by hand and separately always drifts.
Can you integrate with legacy SOAP systems?
Yes, usually by wrapping them in a clean modern interface rather than exposing the legacy contract onward.
