About thinkbridge: there’s a new way there™

Our story

You shouldn't have to settle for options you don't love.

For far too long, leaders of growing companies have been stuck between software that almost fits, rented forever, and consulting projects with open-ended bills that take years to go live. The result is a fragmented stack of tools and spreadsheets held together by people, and AI has only made it worse, becoming one more tool in a stack that was already too crowded.

There's a new way there™. That's the idea behind thinkbridge: think bigger, move faster, go further.

Where it started: the space between options nobody loved.

The founder story

Our story.

Twelve years of building software for growing companies.

“Software should fit the business, not the other way around. It should speak the language of the business, not some generic best practice. And it should be accountable, priced on the value it delivers.”
Anand KrishnanAnand KrishnanCo-founder, Managing Partner and CEO Sai GaneshSai GaneshCo-founder, Managing Partner and Chief Scientist
  1. 2014

    Software should fit the business

    After careers spent implementing off-the-shelf software, the founders started with the idea of using accelerators to cut the cost of custom software and speed up time to value.

  2. 2016

    Fully managed accelerated software

    Began testing the idea of using accelerators to cut the cost of custom software and speed up time to value.

  3. 2018

    Cloud-native reference architecture

    A consistent architecture across client projects, powered by our delivery and engineering accelerators, becomes the standard.

  4. 2020

    Kavi, our visual design platform

    Designers designed software in Kavi, and it generated the project scaffold and initial code from their designs.

  5. 2022

    DevOps automation

    Automated promote-to-production pipelines across multiple cloud platforms, so every release reached production the same way.

  6. 2024

    AI supercharges the accelerators

    AI took the accelerator vision from spec to production, compressing delivery timelines by 5x. That let us innovate on pricing too, furthering our vision of pricing on the value delivered.

  7. Today

    Today: every system is built with thinkOne.

    The thinkOne method delivers custom-fit systems, powered by our experts and our agentic engineering and delivery platform, 10x faster. Systems go live in about four months and belong to the client.

    How thinkOne works

Selective about who we hire. And who we work with.

Our team is built for long-term partnerships. Our revenue is tied to our clients' results, our core values drive every engagement, and our leaders stay involved from the first conversation through go-live and managed care.

Who founded thinkbridge?

thinkbridge was founded in 2014 by Anand Krishnan, Managing Partner and CEO, and Sai Ganesh, Managing Partner and Chief Scientist. Anand also hosts the Meaningful Tech podcast.
