Full-stack dev shop building e-commerce, gaming, and AI platforms
Associative is a 11–50 person dev shop in Pune focused on end-to-end platform builds: e-commerce (multivendor, headless CMS), mobile apps (iOS/Android, cross-platform), game/metaverse titles, and AI/ML features. The stack spans React + Next.js + Node.js on frontend/backend, Unreal Engine + Unity for gaming, and active adoption of Web3 (Ethereum, Solidity) and fitness-tracking APIs (HealthKit, Google Fit). Hiring is engineering-heavy (51 of 69 roles) with accelerating velocity, signaling rapid project delivery scaling rather than platform consolidation.
Associative delivers custom software development across web, mobile, gaming, and emerging tech. Founded February 2021 as an Adobe Silver Solution Partner, the firm builds multivendor e-commerce platforms, CMS-driven content sites (Ghost, Joomla, WordPress, AEM), native and cross-platform mobile apps, game titles (Unreal Engine 5, Unity), blockchain/Web3 applications (Solidity smart contracts on Ethereum, Solana, Polygon), and AI/ML features (generative AI, computer vision). Work spans startups and mid-market clients; pain points include scaling multiplayer backends, optimizing e-commerce performance, and avoiding vendor lock-in through custom builds. All hiring and operations are India-based.
Frontend: React, Next.js, Vue.js, Angular, Flutter, React Native. Backend: Node.js, Python (Django, FastAPI), PHP (Laravel), Java (Spring Boot). CMS: Ghost, Strapi, Contentful, WordPress, Joomla, Adobe AEM. Gaming: Unreal Engine 5, Unity, Godot. Blockchain: Solidity, Ethereum. Infrastructure: AWS (Elastic Beanstalk, RDS), PostgreSQL, GCP.
Active projects include multivendor e-commerce platforms, Ghost CMS websites, custom LMS, AI-powered fitness/nutrition coach apps, mobile apps (Flipkart-like), e-learning sites, Joomla deployments, a metaverse gaming title (Chronos Legends), and an urban gardening/food-sharing network.
