About

A 120-person engineering company that deploys crews.

Crewlane is the direct delivery brand of HestaBit Digital Services. Every engineer comes from HestaBit's engineering bench, vetted, managed, and supported by a company that's been shipping software for over 14 years.

Our story

Built by engineers, for companies that need engineers

Crewlane was founded by Surbhit Agarwal and Rahul Chugh with a straightforward observation: companies don't need more resumes. They need engineering teams that ship.

Most companies looking for engineering help get matched with individuals from a global pool. Management, integration, quality - that's on you. We took a different approach.

We built an engineering company. 120+ engineers, all on our bench, all working together. When you hire a Crewlane crew, you're getting a team that already knows how to work together, with a tech lead who owns delivery, not just code.

Over 14+ years, our team has shipped production software for startups, scaleups, and agencies across the US, UK, and Middle East. We built Trega, an industrial AI safety platform using computer vision. We built Illumate, an AI-powered analytics platform. These aren't client projects - they're products we built and operate, using the same engineering bench available for your project.

Today, Crewlane serves four distinct buyer segments: startups building their first product, scaleups adding capacity without hiring overhead, agencies expanding delivery under white-label, and companies adding AI/ML capabilities. Every engagement starts the same way: a 30-minute call, a 2-week paid pilot, and a pay-after-delivery model that puts the risk on us.
