Company · About

One minute can change a life.

That is what OMCL stands for, and it is how the studio began: one engineer in 2019, deciding to move faster and build more. Seven years on, we design and build apps, web platforms and AI products for founders, from Bengaluru.

Four letters, one minute.

OMCL is short for One Minute Can Change Life. The name came from Abhinav's father, and it has been the brief ever since: most of what matters in a product is decided in about a minute.

One Minute Can Change Life

  1. 01

    A pitch

    Sixty seconds to say what you are building and why it matters. If that lands, the rest can follow.

  2. 02

    An idea

    The one that arrives in the shower, on a walk, or in a meeting about something else. It deserves to be built before it fades.

  3. 03

    A decision

    The moment a founder stops weighing it and says yes. Our mark is that minute: an open ring with one dot at one o'clock.

Started by one engineer who wanted to move faster.

Abhinav Sharma started OMCL in 2019 with one aim: move fast, do more, and make a bigger difference with software. A studio was the shortest line between a good idea and a shipped product.

Before and alongside OMCL, Abhinav shipped for startups including BazaarNXT and Pepper Content. That is where the studio's habits come from: small teams, weekly releases, and talking directly to the people who write the code.

By 2026 OMCL is a small, senior team across product design, frontend, backend and AI, working from Bengaluru with founders in India, Europe and the United States. We still build products of our own, Kharch and decent.cv, because it is the best way to remember what done means.

The same four habits, on every project.

  1. 01

    A team, not a vendor

    You talk to the people writing the code. No account manager and no handoffs between departments.

  2. 02

    Ship weekly

    A release every week from week two. Working software instead of status reports.

  3. 03

    Own the whole product

    Design, frontend, backend, AI and the infrastructure under it, in one room.

  4. 04

    Stay on

    We launch with you and stay for maintenance. Three years on Struck and still shipping.
