Fourteen years of receipts · Three practices · One operating principle
Build with a team that ships.
Creative Mantra has been shipping since 2011 — 250+ deliveries, 120+ live products, 45+ documented case studies across UI/UX, software, management systems and AI/ML. If you want fewer meetings, more shipped features and the keyboard in front of you, this might be the right place.
You THINK, We BUILD.
The pitch is straightforward: ship real work for real clients, beside people who care more about the craft than the title. Every engagement is anchored by a dedicated relations officer, scoped from a one-page brief, and quoted as a fee letter inside four working days. No offshore hand-offs, no account-manager layers between you and the person writing the code.
Creative Mantra is a fluid tech company. Your skillset evolves with the practice — from Next.js, Payload and React Native today to Gemini, Claude and MedGemma tomorrow. We invest in your growth because clients stay with us when we stay ahead of the curve.
Founded in Mumbai in 2011. Clients across India, Turkey, Germany, the UK, the US and Australia. ~92% of them come back for a second engagement — that is the metric that tells us we are doing it right.
Four things we hire for.
Ships, then talks.
We hire people who move a repo forward before they move a slide deck forward. A working PR beats a flawless brief every time.
Client First instinct.
You think about the person who signed the fee letter before you think about the framework. Our 92% return rate is a hiring signal, not a marketing line.
Generalist, then specialist.
An engineer who reads the design file. A designer who edits copy. The lines between the three practices are a tool, not a fence.
Receipts, always.
Every case study we ship documents scope, plan, delivery, lessons and outcome. You'll write your share of them and be proud of them.
3 ways in.
Senior Full-Stack Engineer
Ship end-to-end product work across Next.js, Node and Postgres — from customer-facing surfaces to the APIs behind them.
AI/ML Engineer
Build applied AI shipped as production software — agents, humanisation engines, RAG pipelines and computer-vision systems for real users.
Client Relations Officer
Anchor two to four engagements at a time. Protect the client's time and budget. Make sure what ships matches the idea that started the conversation.
Creative Mantra hires ahead of need when someone is clearly right. Send a short note and one thing you have shipped.
The actual deal.
Listed honestly, no "and more!" at the bottom. If it is not on this page, it is not a benefit.
Top-of-market salary
Reviewed every six months. No equity-as-pay tricks. Fourteen years of profitable engagements means we can pay in cash.
Paid time off
Paid holidays, festival holidays, and year-end closure — so you can step away without guilt.
Year-end bonus
A real year-end bonus when the year lands right — not a line item buried in fine print.
Modern stack
Next.js, Payload, React Native, Magento, Django, Gemini, Claude, MedGemma. The problems are hard because the products are, not because the stack is ancient.
Room to grow
A fluid tech company by design — we invest in your skills so clients stay ahead of the curve, not behind it.
Flexible timing
Flexible hours that fit real life — as long as commitments are clear and the work ships.
Honest timelines
Every engagement is scoped from a one-page brief and quoted as a fee letter inside four working days. No hero-week theatre.
Mumbai HQ · remote-friendly
Headquartered in Mumbai with clients across three continents. Remote-friendly for the right role.
Five steps. A single week. No surprises.

Intro call
30 minutes with a founder. We talk about what you've shipped and what you want to ship next. No leetcode, no trick questions.
Craft conversation
A deeper conversation aligned to the practice you would join — engineering, AI/ML or client relations. We leave time for your questions about the case studies.
Work trial
A real, scoped slice of a real project so you see how Creative Mantra works and we see your craft. Paid at market day-rate; length depends on the scope we agree.
