This government registration certifies our legal status as an authentic Indian enterprise, validating our adherence to statutory business standards, legally enforceable commercial client contracts, mutual NDAs, and authentic Certificate of Completion issuance for student interns and trainees.

Our MSME accreditation (UDYAM-PY-03-0061320) provides certified authenticity across all company engagements:
• For Enterprise & Startup Clients: Assures engagement with a legitimate, government-recognized Indian enterprise with legally binding bilateral NDAs, compliant invoicing, and complete intellectual property (IP) assignment.
• For Student Interns & Academic Institutions: Every Certificate of Completion issued carries recognized credentials backed by an MSME-registered enterprise, widely accepted by university examination cells, colleges, and corporate recruiters as authentic industrial project experience.

Yes, participating in the Cognolynx Internship program is 100% free. We charge zero application fees, zero registration costs, and zero tuition fees throughout your training and live project deliverables.

Upon successful completion and evaluation of your live project, interns can receive their official, tamper-proof Certificate of Completion by paying a nominal certification fee of ₹149 (Rs 149 only). This one-time fee exclusively covers administrative verification, digital credential ledgering, and permanent hosting on our online verification system.

The ₹149 certification amount is charged only if you request the official, verified Certificate of Completion after finishing your project deliverables. It covers:
• Generation of an authentic, tamper-proof digital certificate with a verifiable QR code
• Allocation of a unique permanent Certificate ID registered in our global ledger
• 24/7 lifelong online verification hosting at /certificate/verify for employers, recruiters, and university administrators
• Manual review and verification of submitted project source code and deliverables.

There are no other hidden fees, subscriptions, or recurring costs.

Our technical team screens all submitted applications within 24 hours. If shortlisted:
1. An official selection invitation and offer letter will be sent directly to your registered email address.
2. Important: Please check both your Primary Inbox and your Spam / Promotions folders, as automated onboarding emails may occasionally be filtered there.
3. Your offer letter contains comprehensive instructions, domain track assignment, and immediate next steps to begin your live deliverables.

Yes. Every Certificate of Completion issued after payment of the ₹149 certification fee includes a unique alphanumeric Certificate ID and a scannable QR code. Employers and university evaluators can enter this ID at /certificate/verify to instantly view the intern's verified name, project track, completion date, and credential status.

Yes. Exceptional performers who demonstrate high code quality, consistency, and problem-solving skills during their internship are actively evaluated for Pre-Placement Offers (PPOs) and full-time junior engineering roles within our client delivery and product teams.

Cognolynx is a full-cycle software engineering and digital transformation company. Our capabilities include:
• Custom Web Applications & Enterprise SaaS platforms
• Cross-Platform & Native Mobile Applications (iOS & Android)
• Cloud Architecture, DevOps & Infrastructure Automation
• Production AI, RAG Pipelines & Intelligent Automation
• Modern UI/UX Design Systems & High-Fidelity Prototyping
• Performance Optimization & Modern Growth Marketing.

Yes. We specialize in non-disruptive software modernization. We conduct an architectural audit to isolate bottlenecks, decouple monolithic databases, build modular microservices or modern REST/GraphQL APIs, and systematically migrate user workflows to modern cloud architectures with zero unplanned downtime.

We build both, choosing the architecture that best fits your performance and budget needs. For maximum time-to-market and code reusability, we develop high-performance cross-platform apps using React Native and Flutter. For hardware-intensive applications requiring low-level device access, we build native apps using Swift and Kotlin.

We integrate production-grade AI models, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, intelligent process automation, computer vision, and predictive analytics directly into your web, mobile, or enterprise applications. We ensure models are secure, cost-optimized, and compliant with enterprise privacy standards.

Our delivery framework follows four clear phases:
1. Discovery & Technical Blueprint: We evaluate your business requirements, define technical architecture, and establish a milestone roadmap.
2. Agile Sprints: We deliver working software in bi-weekly sprints with live staging deployments.
3. Quality Assurance & Security Hardening: Automated test suites, cross-browser audits, and vulnerability checks.
4. Production Launch & Handover: Seamless deployment, DNS configuration, source code transfer, and team documentation.

Project timelines vary by scope: a focused MVP (Minimum Viable Product) or custom corporate platform typically takes 4 to 8 weeks. Comprehensive enterprise software, SaaS platforms, or multi-platform mobile apps generally take 3 to 6 months with progressive sprint deliverables deployed to staging every two weeks.

Transparency is our foundation. Clients receive access to a private Slack/Teams channel, weekly sprint demo meetings, and live staging URLs updated on every Git commit. You also have direct access to your dedicated Project Lead and Solution Architect.

We provide two transparent engagement structures:
• Fixed-Scope Milestone Pricing: Recommended for clearly defined MVPs and platforms. Costs are agreed upfront and tied to verified deliverables.
• Dedicated Engineering Team (Time & Material): Ideal for evolving enterprise roadmaps. You engage dedicated full-stack developers, designers, and QA engineers billed on bi-weekly or monthly sprint cycles.

Yes, absolutely. Upon milestone completion and final payment, 100% of all intellectual property, source code, database architectures, designs, and digital assets are fully transferred to you. Cognolynx claims zero proprietary lock-in and zero royalties.

Yes. We strictly respect your intellectual property. We are happy to execute a standard bilateral NDA before any technical discussions, discovery sessions, or requirement reviews take place.

We leverage modern, battle-tested technologies:
• Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Vue.js
• Backend: Node.js, Express, Python (FastAPI, Django), Go, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis
• Mobile: React Native, Flutter, Swift (iOS), Kotlin (Android)
• Cloud & DevOps: AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions CI/CD
• AI/ML: PyTorch, TensorFlow, OpenAI APIs, Anthropic Claude, LangChain, LlamaIndex.

Security is engineered into our codebases from day one. We enforce OWASP Top 10 security standards, end-to-end data encryption (in transit using TLS 1.3 and at rest using AES-256), strict role-based access control (RBAC), automated vulnerability scanning, and secure API rate-limiting.

Every project delivered by Cognolynx includes a complimentary 30-day hyper-care warranty period covering bug fixes, performance tuning, and technical guidance. Following launch, we offer flexible SLA-backed maintenance packages for cloud monitoring, continuous security patches, and incremental feature updates.
