The Company

Est. 2021 / Hyderabad, India
We are the engineering team behind Cerulea. Founded on the principle of "Blockchain for Good," our mandate is to eliminate the infrastructure barrier in Web3, allowing enterprises to design, compile, and deploy sovereign blockchain networks without writing a single line of smart contract code.
The Origin
Blockchain is a mature technology, but deploying and operating it remains fundamentally broken.
When we founded Caerulean Bytechains Private Limited (CBC) in 2021, we recognized a critical bottleneck. Organizations were spending massive amounts of time, effort, and capital just to establish usable network environments. DApp developers were forced to act as infrastructure operators, and enterprises were stuck building bespoke, fragile deployments that rarely survived past the proof-of-concept phase.
The industry was obsessed with low-level developer tooling, but what organizations actually needed was a repeatable, structured pathway from configuration to deployment.
Over the past three years, we self-funded and engineered the solution: Cerulea. We transformed blockchain deployment from a fragmented coding exercise into a deterministic, configuration-driven engine. You map the business intent; Cerulea generates the execution.
How we engineer.
Deployability over theory.
A system is only valuable when it can be deployed and operated predictably. We optimize Cerulea Studio for real-world runtime execution, ensuring that what you design visually is exactly what compiles to the ledger.
Explicit governance.
Enterprises require clear responsibility boundaries. We do not believe in implicit permissions. Cerulea makes network ownership, read/write access, and state modification mathematically explicit.
Leadership
A professionally managed organization uniting deep technology expertise with strict operational and regulatory compliance.
