We are Proximity - a global team of coders, designers, product managers, geeks and experts. We solve hard, long-term engineering problems and build cutting edge tech products.

About us

Born in 2019, Proximity Works is a global, fully distributed tech firm headquartered in San Francisco - with hubs across Mumbai, Dubai, Toronto, Stockholm, and Bengaluru. We’re in the business of solving high-stakes engineering challenges with AI-powered solutions tailored for industries like sports, media & entertainment, fintech, and enterprise platforms. From real-time game analytics and ticketing workflows to creative content generation, we help build software that serves millions every day.

About the Founders

At the helm is Hardik Jagda, CEO - a technologist with a startup DNA who brings clarity to complexity and a passion for building delightful experiences.

Milestones & Impact

• Trusted by some of the world’s biggest players - from major media & entertainment giants to one of the world’s largest cricket websites and the second-largest stock exchange in the world.
• Delivered game-changing tech: slashing content creation by 90%, doubling performance metrics for NASDAQ clients, and accelerating speed/performance wins for platforms like Dream11.

Culture & Why It Matters

• Fully distributed and flexible: work 100% remotely, design your own schedule, build habits that work for you and not the other way around.
• People-first culture: Community events, “Proxonaut battles,” monthly off-sites, and a liberal referral policy keep us connected even when we’re apart.
• High-trust environment: autonomy is encouraged. You’re empowered to act, learn fast, and iterate boldly. We know great work comes when talented people have space to think and create.
