About Kathmandu · Melbourne

Nine years of building software. Now moving with AI.

Shrig Solutions started as a mobile app studio and grew into a full product team for US clients. Today we're independent, focused on AI automation for small businesses, and expanding into Australia.

Our story

From mobile studio to AI automation

Shrig was founded in Kathmandu in 2017 to build mobile apps. In 2021 one well-delivered build turned into a long partnership with a US product company, and over five years our team took four products from idea to launch.

To support that work we grew a team of more than 30 people across mobile, backend, AI, design, QA and DevOps. We learned how to ship reliably, keep users happy, and run a product long after launch.

That partnership concluded in August 2026, and Shrig now works independently. We're putting everything we learned into one mission: making AI genuinely useful and affordable for small businesses.
