SofStack is an AI MVP development company for UK businesses that want to launch AI products quickly, within budget and in line with UK data protection requirements.
We work as an offshore AI delivery partner from India, with working hours that overlap well with the UK day. UK companies use SofStack to validate AI use cases, build production-ready MVPs and extend their in-house teams without long recruitment cycles.
A Working Day That Fits the UK
India is four and a half to five and a half hours ahead of the UK, depending on British Summer Time. That gives a strong daily overlap with no late-night calls.
UK morning: stand-ups, reviews and decisions with your team while our engineers are mid-day
UK afternoon: our team completes the day's work and shares an end-of-day update
Next UK morning: you start with progress already made and questions answered
Sprint demos: scheduled in UK business hours for all your stakeholders
Built Around UK GDPR and Data Protection
AI products often process personal data. We design for UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 from the first workshop.
Data processing agreements and NDAs signed before any personal data is shared
Data minimisation: AI pipelines use only the data the use case needs
UK and EU hosting: deployment in UK or EU cloud regions on your own account
Anonymisation and masking of personal data in development and test environments
Support for DPIAs: we document data flows and risks for your Data Protection Impact Assessment
Explainability and human review where AI outputs affect individuals

Why UK Companies Use an Offshore AI Partner
Challenge | How SofStack helps |
Hiring AI engineers takes months | A ready team starts within one to two weeks |
London agency rates limit experimentation | Lower delivery cost with senior engineers |
Managing individual contractors | One company contract with defined deliverables and a delivery lead |
Internal teams are at capacity | A dedicated AI team works alongside your developers |
Leadership needs evidence before investing | Stage-gated discovery, POC and pilot before the full build |
How a UK AI MVP Project Runs
1. Discovery workshop: a remote session in UK hours to define the use case, users, data and success measures.
2. Data and privacy review: we map personal data, agree hosting and document the data flows.
3. Proposal: fixed scope, milestones, team plan and price.
4. Build in sprints: two-week sprints with demos in UK business hours and weekly written reports.
5. Testing and launch: functional, security and AI accuracy testing, then deployment in your UK or EU cloud region.
6. Handover or scale: full code and documentation handover, or ongoing development with a dedicated team.
