Pariksha Labs aims to establish a world-class, software R&D service provider to conform their competence in the technology domain and global product development. Through this, they intend to help small and medium-sized companies launch new products in the competing market of today.

	In the ever-changing market of today, global product development faces the following challenges: Bring innovations faster to the market Do more with less Avoid large in-house R&D Track rapidly changing environment

	The following models are the prevalent models for R&D outsourcing: Product ownership: migration of maintenance / sustenance of legacy product portfolios, thus reducing costs during EOL phase (extends the EOL into long tail model) Core technology: implementation of new / evolving standards or porting to platforms that may not get done in-house due to knowledge, revenue and / or resource constraints Extension teams: extension of current applications with new well demarcated modules that can be built in a ‘sand‐box’ Remote QA: virtual remote product testing teams extend the product development into a 24x7 paradigm

	Pariksha Labs will use the following ways to expand their product ownership in India and globally: By having 80% to 100% engineering and QA in India By marketing, product management and encouraging customer support in US By carrying out localization and installation through India extension team Would usually handle/ make/ use mature EOL products that require long-tailing of life-cycle at low cost

	Pariksha Labs understand the importance of developing a strong core technology, a strategy that would include the following: Pariksha Labs aims at developing evolving and upcoming standards and explore newer platforms It would also initiate doing more projects in the same budget It would also safeguard its teams from day-to-day resource pressures so that they can focus on delivering on time and in budget

	The expansion can be from 15% to 35% of engineering teams. The teams’ usual convention starts from the SDK / plug-in API from where they move on to the core modules.

	Experts say extension groups are highly productive. As observed teams can make an impact on multiple shipping products and deliver without compromising on quality and schedules. Indian teams are considered more productive!

	An inside team effectively forms the remote team, which by essence is the core team. As the term suggests, an inside team is more capable of understanding each other during a crunch and bridge cultural differences better as they would have a better understanding of the same.

	At Pariksha Labs we believe that to build a stronger inside team, similarity is the key. They use the following means to strengthen the ties of their teams: Same t‐shirts, caps, coffee mugs, ambiance Key team members visit each other's site regularly (once a year each way minimum) Hire the best and keep them – Don't be cheap Implement and improve successful communication mechanism and program processes Identify dedicated champions on both sides Manage projects / jobs transitions sensitively Celebrate, have fun as a winning global team

	The following form its major development methodologies: Understand the requirements Implement to customer's coding standards; document extensively, early first build and regular code drops Communicate extensively, full‐time dedicated project manager for customer, weekly/daily status and conference calls, agreed metrics for reporting Quality throughout the life‐cycle, engage early, document test plans, cases and test reports Meet Customer's milestones – time and quality metrics Integrate on‐site as required, development support through hand‐over Support aggressively through first 90 days, plan for regular support Engage early with next version planning – continuity of team for productivity gains
