Boilerplate
Caygnus is an Indian product studio building focused consumer software. Trinetra and Urban Hood are live today, and we design and build products for founders and businesses too.
Founder
Caygnus was founded in 2022 by Ojas in Nashik. The studio is now based in Bengaluru and builds focused consumer software alongside selected client work for founders and businesses.
Story angles
Building for cities that tech ignores
Most consumer apps are designed for Mumbai, Delhi, or Bengaluru and quietly skip everywhere else. Caygnus started in Nashik — one of India's largest pilgrimage cities — and builds software for the places and people that metro-focused studios overlook.
Offline-first as a design principle
A crowded temple courtyard, a narrow lane between old buildings, a train platform: these are ordinary places where a signal drops. Caygnus builds for the network you actually have, not the one a well-connected office gives you.
Own apps and client work under one roof
Trinetra and Urban Hood are Caygnus's own products, built to the same standard as client work. That's the model: the studio uses its own software as a forcing function for quality — if it wouldn't ship in Trinetra, it doesn't ship for clients either.
Trinetra: the first locally-built guide to Nashik
4.7 stars across 906 Play Store reviews, with over a thousand downloads and support for 23+ Indian languages. Built for pilgrims and travellers, not tourists — the distinction shapes every design decision.

Brand assets
SVG is the master format for every mark below. The 512px PNGs are exports for places that cannot take vector. At 24px and under, use the favicon cut rather than scaling the tile down.
Monogram
The Cy lettermark, for square and cramped placements where the wordmark will not fit.
Cy monogram
Mark
The swan and its star. Same artwork in three crops — rounded tile, circular avatar, and the tighter favicon cut this site uses — plus the bare curve on a transparent ground.
Single color
For one-color printing and for backgrounds the full-color mark cannot sit on. The curve is drawn in currentColor, so it takes the color of whatever text surrounds it when embedded inline.
