Overview
Realfast provides AI-native engineering and modernization services. Its teams use AI-supported delivery to rebuild legacy systems, re-engineer operations and implement business platforms around a defined operating goal.
What realfast does
Realfast works on legacy migration, platform rebuilds, AI discovery and operations re-engineering. Its current offering also includes Salesforce implementation and helping engineering organizations adopt coding agents within their delivery process.
The work is framed around a system or operational outcome, such as modernizing a core application or reducing the effort in a recurring finance workflow. The team combines discovery and engineering rather than treating AI as a separate tool rollout with no connection to the system being changed.
The company publishes examples across financial services, higher education and other organizations. Customers engage Realfast to carry out modernization and process changes, with AI forming part of its execution model rather than a product they must staff and operate alone.
Differentiation
Compared with a coding assistant
Realfast supplies an engineering team and a modernization engagement, not only software that the customer’s developers must use.
Compared with an isolated AI pilot
Its projects target an existing system or operating process, connecting the AI work to production implementation and measurable operational change.
Company details
Realfast’s founding leadership comprises CEO Sidu Ponnappa, CPTO Aakash Dharmadhikari and CFO Steven Sule. Its team operates across Boston, Dubai, Mumbai, Bangalore and Singapore.
Ponnappa and Dharmadhikari bring leadership experience from Gojek and C42. The company describes delivery through small senior teams, with a named person accountable for AI output and a usable increment shipped each week.
