Mehta FoundrySoftware, security and production studio
Studio · India, UK & Europe, US & Canada

Software, security and production work, scoped in writing and delivered properly.

Mehta Foundry is a studio that builds applications and automation, tests software for security weaknesses with written permission, and makes games, animation and 3D work. Every job starts with a written scope and a fixed price.

Services

Two service lines have published offers and examples: AI automation and cybersecurity. The rest are available on request. Send a short brief and we’ll reply with a scope.

Published offer

AI automation

Nine services, from Doc-to-Data (documents to checked records, fixed price from USD 1,200) to inbox triage with drafted replies, website help answers from your own documents, internal knowledge search, lead capture to CRM, scheduled reports, data sync between tools, product catalogue content and document checklist checks. Every workflow keeps a log and waits for your approval before anything is sent or changed.

Published offer

Cybersecurity

Penetration testing, red team exercises, vulnerability assessment and security research, for systems you own or are authorised to have tested. Always under a signed scope.

Application development

Web applications, dashboards and internal tools, from first spec to a deployed product. Built in milestones you can try as we go, with the code, credentials and a short runbook handed over at the end.

Mobile app development

iOS and Android apps and the API behind them. Scoped up front, built in testable milestones, and shipped to the stores under your accounts.

Game development

Small games and playable prototypes for mobile and the web. Send the idea, the platform and the timeline, and we’ll come back with a scoped plan.

Animation

2D and motion animation for product explainers, launches and social posts, produced to your brand and aspect ratios.

3D modeling

Models for products, games and visualisation, delivered in the formats your pipeline uses.

Ad generation

Ad creative and variations for campaigns, made to your brand guide and each platform’s specs, so you can test more than one idea.

Animated short films

Short animated pieces, from script and storyboard through to the final render and sound.

Custom development

Scripts, integrations, data tooling and anything that doesn’t fit a box. Describe the problem and we’ll reply with a scope and a fixed price.

Cybersecurity

Hands-on testing of commercial web apps, APIs and mobile apps, guided by the OWASP Top 10, the OWASP API Security Top 10 and OWASP MASVS. Authorised testing only.

Before anything starts: we both sign a written scope and rules of engagement, and you confirm you own, or are authorised to have tested, every system in scope. No scanning, exploitation or reconnaissance of any kind happens before both signatures. The studio doesn’t take on defence, military or government clients.

Penetration testing

Manual testing of a web app, API or mobile app to find what an attacker could exploit, with a non-destructive proof for each finding.

Red team

Objective-based exercises that test how far an attacker could get against systems you own, inside an agreed rules of engagement.

Vulnerability assessment

A broader, lighter-touch review of your applications to find and rank known weaknesses, with a prioritised list of fixes.

Security research

Focused research on software you own, including reverse engineering of client-owned binaries, written up as clear, reproducible findings.

Work you can check

There are no client case studies here yet. Everything below is an example or a sample document, labelled that way, and none of it is client work. Every example document carries an “EXAMPLE DOCUMENT” banner.

First page of an example US bank statement marked EXAMPLE DOCUMENT
Example

Accounting document checks

12 example invoices, receipts and bank statements with 7 problems placed on purpose: wrong totals, wrong VAT rate, missing tax, a tip left out, a broken running balance, an incomplete client collection and a duplicate invoice. In this example, every one of them was flagged.

First page of an example bill of lading marked EXAMPLE DOCUMENT
Example

Freight document checks

14 example shipping documents across 3 shipments with 9 problems placed on purpose, including container and air waybill check digits, HS code format, quantity and weight mismatches and duty arithmetic. In this example, all 14 were routed as expected.

First page of an example German invoice marked EXAMPLE DOCUMENT
Example

Invoice validation kit

20 example invoices from 6 countries in English, German and French layouts, with 9 problems placed on purpose. In this example, the arithmetic, tax rate, credit-note and duplicate checks routed all 20 as expected: 11 ready, 9 to review.

First page of an example tenancy agreement marked EXAMPLE DOCUMENT
Example

Lease and property document checks

10 example leases, tenancy agreements, service-charge budgets and contractor invoices with problems placed on purpose, such as a wrong end date, a deposit above the legal cap and a break date after expiry. In this example, 10 of 10 were routed as expected.

First page of an example subcontractor payment application marked EXAMPLE DOCUMENT
Example

Construction payment checks

11 example UK CIS applications, Irish RCT notices and Indian RA bills with problems placed on purpose, such as CIS deducted on materials, VAT charged under reverse charge and expired insurance. In this example, 11 of 11 were routed as expected.

Sample

Penetration test scope of work

The scope and rules of engagement every security job starts with: authorisation, in-scope and out-of-scope assets, permitted activities, test window, emergency stop contacts and how critical findings are reported. Blank placeholders throughout.

Example

AI automation walkthroughs

Three example walkthroughs for an example shop: inbox triage with drafted replies, answers from help-centre pages with the source quoted, and a weekly report calculated from an order export. Not client work; the output is shown as produced.

Example results show how the checks and routing behave on example documents. They aren’t accuracy figures for real documents. On a real project, the number that matters comes from a test on 30–50 of your own documents.

How we work

Every engagement follows the same four steps, with the scope and price agreed in writing before work starts.

  1. You send a briefUse the form below: what you need, the rough size and any deadline.
  2. Written scope and fixed priceWe reply with what’s in, what’s out, the milestones and the price. Nothing starts until you agree it.
  3. Build or test50% to start, 50% on sign-off. You see progress at each milestone.
  4. HandoverCode, credentials, a runbook or a report, and a call to walk through it.

Where clients are

India and South Asia, the UK and Europe, and the US and Canada. Prices in USD, GBP, EUR or INR.

Your data

We list every service your data passes through before we start, keep it in the region you choose and delete it when you ask. UK and EU clients can have a data processing agreement.

What we won’t promise

Unmeasured accuracy figures, ROI numbers or guarantees. You get measured results on your own material and a clear list of what’s out of scope.
