Most operational software fails at the last mile: the handoff between the tools a firm already owns and the work people still do by hand.
Agni was founded in Hong Kong in 2026 to do that integration work. The studio is small by intent. We build operational software for partner-led firms in accounting and law, and occasionally adjacent partnerships in family-office advisory and management consulting. The patterns inside a vertical repeat; the work gets better when we have already seen them several times.
We do not sell licences or try to trap firms in a platform. Each engagement is a one-off build for one firm, scoped in writing, priced as a fixed fee, and handed over with full intellectual-property transfer. You own what we ship. If we stop being useful, the software is already yours.
The name.
Agni is the Sanskrit word for fire. More specifically, it is fire that transforms: the forge, the kiln, the heat that turns raw material into something useful. That is the right metaphor for this work. We take the systems a partnership already has and refine them into something more coherent and more useful.
Who runs it.
The studio is led by engineers with a decade of experience building production systems at companies that cared about latency, accuracy, and ownership. We chose to start something small because the work we care about is not product theatre; it is unglamorous integration that has to be correct, maintainable, and easy to inherit.
Where we work.
Anchored in Hong Kong, with engineering coverage across Hong Kong, the UK, and the US. The studio's first cohort of engagements is here, drawn from the city's accounting partnerships, boutique law firms, and family-office advisories. We take occasional cross-border work when the engagement justifies it.
What we won't do.
We do not take work outside our focus verticals without an honest conversation about fit. We do not start without a written scope. We do not run sales calls disguised as discovery. We do not keep firms dependent on us to operate software they paid for.
