In the founders’ words
Catalyr was founded by Gowtham Pugalenthi, Ragul Babu, and Himanshu Ranjan Saravanan, uniting distinct expertise in software engineering, product design, and scalable infrastructure.
Gowtham drives the strategic product vision, Ragul leads the design and user experience architecture, and Himanshu oversees the technical execution and robust infrastructure. Together, they built Catalyr to be the ultimate growth partner for ambitious brands.

compromises on design
We started working with our first few startups on products they needed to bring to market quickly. Many of those early clients are still with us today, as we’ve grown side by side and watched each other evolve.
Step by step, these first projects turned into long-term collaborations, and today our portfolio spans hundreds of products for companies around the world.
Ragul Babu
Co-Founder & CDO
"Great products aren't just functional; they are deeply empathetic to the user. Every pixel we design is obsessively crafted to reduce friction and drive scalable growth."
Himanshu Ranjan Saravanan
Co-Founder & CTO
"The backbone of any successful digital product is its architecture. We engineer systems that don't just work today, but are designed to withstand the stress of massive future scale."
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Partners, not vendors
We don’t disappear after a kickoff call or pass work down a chain. You’ll work directly with the team building your product: in Slack, in Figma, and in your workflow.
Design that holds up over time
We build thoughtful, system-based interfaces, not flashy one-offs. Our work adapts to your product, keeps logic intact, and holds up to change.
Developer-ready by default
Every component is reusable, accessible, and engineered for handoff. Tokens, states, constraints—we speak dev and design like we code. That’s how we ship fast.
Process you can follow
You see what we see. From day one, we make progress visible in Notion, Jira, Figma, or your stack. Scope, estimates, and feedback loops stay open and honest.
Product-led design thinking
We work at the intersection of design and business. From product-market fit to scale-readiness, our designers think like product managers, aligning UX with growth metrics, not just user flow.
People who care about the work
Our edge isn’t tools or templates—it’s the people. Curious, invested, and obsessive about doing the right thing right. You’ll feel it in the work and in every interaction.
