Scaling Telecom Product Delivery Without Delays or Overhead
Mobile Tornado, a UK-based pioneer in Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PTToC) and workforce management software, faced growing pressure to increase product velocity and meet customer demands across markets.
They wanted to:
But executing a setup of this scale — across time zones, infrastructure, and integration — was easier said than done.
“What stood out was how quickly M91 got us operational. The team they assembled wasn’t just skilled — they understood our product, and it showed.”
— Mobile Tornado Labs
Mobile Tornado didn’t want to waste time filtering generic profiles. They needed engineers who understood telecom infrastructure, real-time systems, and mission-critical reliability.
We worked backward from their roadmap — identifying key feature areas, velocity targets, and platform complexity. Based on this, M91 deployed a structured hiring sprint focused on engineers with prior experience in telecom, SIP, and mobile comms products.
The result: a 30-member team across backend, mobile, QA, and platform roles — all onboarded in just six weeks.
Hiring talent is one thing. Making them productive is another. We didn’t stop at onboarding — we made sure every engineer had the tools, processes, and rituals they needed to contribute from day one.
From aligning CI/CD workflows to setting up real-time collaboration with UK counterparts, we integrated the new India team into Mobile Tornado’s engineering rhythm — sprint ceremonies, stand-ups, release windows, and review flows included.
They weren’t just writing code — they were contributing to roadmap velocity in the first sprint.
M91 provisioned workspaces, hardware, VPN-secured environments, and internal support in under two weeks — eliminating common bottlenecks in developer onboarding.
We ensured devs had access to the right codebases, tools, and systems — without having to wait on IT support. This meant less ramp-up and fewer blockers during the early weeks of handover.
All setup was structured to work seamlessly with Mobile Tornado’s existing tech stack — no handholding required.
30 Engineers Live in 6 Weeks
A high-performance team — recruited, onboarded, and production-ready in 6 weeks flat.
Feature Velocity Up 40%
With a skilled, focused team owning key modules, development output accelerated — reducing time to ship.
~60% Cost Efficiency
Compared to local hiring in the UK, the India team delivered significant cost savings without quality trade-offs.
3X Faster Ramp-Up
No onboarding drag — engineers were active in sprint cycles within days, not weeks.
Infrastructure Built to Scale
With core tech operations stabilized in India, Mobile Tornado can now expand its platform team with minimal friction.
Roadmap-Aligned Hiring: We didn’t just fill roles — we built a team around delivery objectives.
Tech-First Enablement: Tools, access, and rituals were in place from the first commit.
Infrastructure Without Lag: No waiting on desks, devices, or access — devs were ready to ship.
Client Retained Control: Final interviews, sprint planning, and architecture decisions stayed with the client — we handled the rest.
