PORTFOLIO
Four products. One studio.
Each product solves a real problem for a real market in India. No pivots, no feature factories, just focused execution.
Invite OnlyMentziThe AI copilot every Indian teacher deserves, but never had.

Be the answer, not a link, in every AI engine.
An AEO/GEO studio that gets brands cited and recommended inside AI answers, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. A free five-engine visibility audit, then answer-first content, schema, and cross-engine citation tracking.
Most studios build for clients. We build for markets. The distinction is everything.
Sitio Labs is a global AI venture studio, headquartered in Mumbai. We use AI as the primary building material, not a feature added later, but the foundation layer every product is engineered on from day one.
Our model is simple: find a market with a real, unmet need, apply AI to create 10× leverage, and ship a product people actually pay for. No committees. No RFPs. No months of discovery. We move at the speed the tools now allow, and we bring that same speed to the founders we build for.

III, Working with us
The same team that ships our own products, pointed at yours.
We are not an agency. We take on a small number of outside builds each year, on terms that keep us accountable for the outcome, equity, revenue share, or a fixed scope we'd bet our name on.
Venture Building
We co-found. You bring the market.
Early-stage founders with a market thesis and no technical team
We test the idea with real users, design the brand and product, build the first version to a proper production standard, and stand next to you at launch as your founding technical partner.
CTO Partnership
We build the technology. You own the market.
Ventures that are live but need serious technical leadership
We embed as your fractional CTO, a senior head of technology on a part-time basis, plus the engineering team behind them: architecture, roadmap, hiring, AI strategy, and patent-ready IP. This is the model we run with VDOlocal today.
AI Sprint
One product. Three weeks. Done.
Established teams that need one well-defined AI product shipped fast
We scope, design, and ship one production-ready AI product or feature in 3–4 weeks. Fixed scope. Fixed fee. Full source code ownership, yours forever.
Design & Brand
The part everyone sees.
Teams that need a brand and product design practice, not a logo file
Brand identity, product design, UI/UX systems, and motion, the same design practice behind Mentzi, AurumOS, Depo, and this website. Offered selectively, usually inside a venture build; occasionally standalone for teams we believe in.

IV, The thesis
Why we exist.
AI has collapsed the cost of building software. The best products of this decade will come from small, AI-native teams moving at the speed the tools now allow, not from big teams with big budgets.
Sitio Labs exists to build those products, our own, and a select few for founders we believe in. We use AI as the primary building material, keep design and engineering under one roof, and ship in weeks what used to take a funded team a year.
We learned by building for Bharat, India's underserved markets, where trust and distribution decide the winner, not capital. Five products in market taught us how to build fast, for real users, on our own money. That same engine now builds for founders worldwide, including the US.
A venture studio is the instrument built for exactly this moment: many precise bets, shared infrastructure, compounding learnings, and skin in the game on everything it ships.
V, Unfair advantages
Why us. Why it compounds.
- 01
We build with the tools we sell.
ZerocodeAI is both a product and our internal leverage, every venture ships faster because the last one taught the system something.
- 02
Design and engineering under one roof.
No handoffs, no telephone. The person who drew the screen sits next to the person who shipped it.
- 03
Speed as policy, proven four times.
Idea to market in 8–16 weeks isn't a promise, it's the observed cadence across Mentzi, AurumOS, Depo, and ZerocodeAI.
- 04
A senior team, honest economics.
Built out of Mumbai and remote-first for the US and the Gulf, a senior, design-led product team with real overlap hours and favorable economics. Premium, AI-native output without a US-agency price tag.
- 05
Founder-led, IP-backed.
Five patents filed. The studio's incentives and its founder's are the same thing.
VI, The studio loop
How one venture pays for the next.
- 01
Research
Live in the market before writing code. Field visits, not surveys.
- 02
Validate
A paying user is the only validation that counts.
- 03
Build
AI-native from the first commit. 8–16 weeks, production standard.
- 04
Launch
In the user's language, on the user's device, at the user's price.
- 05
Learn
Instrument everything; keep what the market rewards.
- 06
Scale
The playbook, the infrastructure, and the distribution carry into the next bet.
Every turn of the loop makes the next venture cheaper, faster, and more likely to work. That's the studio's compounding asset.
IX, Questions
Asked often. Answered honestly.
What exactly is an AI venture studio?
A company that originates, builds, and owns its own products, repeatedly. We're not an agency you hire by the hour and not a VC that writes cheques. We're the builders, and we keep skin in everything we ship.
Do you take client work?
Selectively. A few outside builds a year, structured so we're accountable for the outcome, equity, revenue share, or a fixed scope we'd put our name on. If you want a vendor, we're the wrong call. If you want a partner, start a conversation.
How is a CTO Partnership structured?
We embed as your technical co-founder: architecture, roadmap, hiring, AI strategy. Minimum six months, revenue share or equity plus retainer. VDOlocal runs on this model today, ask them how it's going.
Who owns the IP?
In an AI Sprint, you do, full source, forever. In venture builds and CTO partnerships, ownership follows the equity structure we agree up front. No surprises in month six.
How fast is “fast”?
Eight to sixteen weeks from thesis to a live product. That's not a pitch, it's the observed cadence across all four of our own launches.
Do you work with US startups?
Yes. The studio is remote-first and works across the US, India, and the Gulf, invoicing in USD, INR, GBP, or AED. Our team overlaps US working hours, and we've already shipped five products of our own, so you're not betting on a first attempt.
Are you raising? Can I invest?
The studio is founder-funded and revenue-backed. If you're an investor who wants to understand the model, the portfolio, and the pipeline, request the studio memo, it's the honest version, not the billboard version.
Where do we start?
One conversation. Tell us the market and the problem, we'll tell you within a week whether we're the right builders for it, and which model fits.
