What 8Queens does

8Queens Software Technologies Private Limited is a private, bootstrapped IT services and software product company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Mandaveli, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. The firm employs approximately 53 professionals and operates exclusively in the Indian market, with concentration in Tamil Nadu and South India. It serves Indian SMB customers across seven vertical domains — Healthcare, Manufacturing, Hospitality, Tourism, Retail, Finance, and Education — through a combination of bespoke custom software development and a portfolio of 14 proprietary vertical software products.

The product catalog spans CMS, CRM, ERP, E-Commerce, GST Billing, Healthcare, Smarty School (LMS), Digital Marketing Tool, Financial Applications, LMS, Travel & Tourism, Job Portal, POS, and Chit Fund Software. Underlying technology uses mainstream web/mobile stacks (PHP, Node.js, Laravel, Express.js, Flutter) with MySQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, and Redis data layers, deployed on AWS and Google Cloud. Marketing channels are limited to the company website and generic social media; there are no disclosed partnerships, channel resellers, or institutional investors, and no patents or regulatory credentials in the source data.

Revenue is generated across three streams: project-based custom software development (one-time, quote-based pricing), recurring managed services (24/7 server maintenance, cloud hosting, and digital marketing retainers), and one-time licensing of proprietary vertical products. The company follows a sales-led, consultative GTM with direct engagement to SMB customers and selective enterprise work. There are no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, leadership hires, or executive team listings beyond a single general contact ([email protected]), indicating a founder-operated, organically grown entity with no external capital and limited public visibility into financial performance.
