AI consultancy for UK businesses Senior technology help, with a shared working day.
Practical AI, automation, software and part-time CTO leadership for British founders, SMEs and agencies. Your morning is our afternoon, so there is always time to talk before your lunch break.
An AI consultancy for UK teams, led by its founder.
CB Consulting Group is a founder-led AI and technology consultancy that works remotely with UK businesses. Founders, SMEs and agencies across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland can work with us on AI readiness and roadmaps, process automation, custom software and part-time CTO leadership, all quoted at a fixed price and delivered from Ahmedabad, India.
Working across UK and Indian time.
Ahmedabad runs on India Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30) all year. The UK is only 4.5 to 5.5 hours behind, which is a far easier gap than most offshore arrangements: your working morning sits inside our working afternoon.
That shared window is where calls, demos and reviews happen, scheduled at times that suit you. Messages sent outside that window get a reply within one business day.
- British Summer Time (late March to late October): India is 4.5 hours ahead, so 10:00 a.m. in London is 2:30 p.m. in Ahmedabad
- Greenwich Mean Time (late October to late March): India is 5.5 hours ahead, so 10:00 a.m. in London is 3:30 p.m. in Ahmedabad
- India does not change its clocks, so only the UK side of the gap moves
- Your morning and our afternoon form the shared working time for live calls

UK GDPR and your data.
When a UK business shares personal data with a supplier in India, UK GDPR applies to that transfer. We deal with it at the start of an engagement, so it never holds up delivery later.
- Before work starts, we agree what personal data we can access, why, where it is stored and for how long
- Transfers from the UK to India need appropriate safeguards under UK GDPR, so the transfer terms are agreed up front
- Before work starts, we agree in writing what access the project needs
- In India, we also handle personal data under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDP Act)
Questions from UK businesses.
For pricing and general questions, see the services overview.
Can a UK company hire an AI consultancy based in India?
Yes. We work remotely with businesses across the UK, from the first call to delivery. The scope, a fixed project price and how personal data is handled under UK GDPR are agreed before work starts. You work directly with Chirag, the founder, who brings 25+ years in technology, and your business owns all code and IP.
What are your working hours in UK time?
India is 4.5 hours ahead of the UK during British Summer Time and 5.5 hours ahead during GMT, and India does not change its clocks. Your morning falls in our afternoon, so that is when we usually schedule calls, at a time that suits you. Every email gets a reply within one business day.
Is working with an Indian consultancy compliant with UK GDPR?
It can be, when the transfer is set up properly. UK GDPR allows personal data to go to India with appropriate safeguards in place, so before any work starts we agree what data we access, why, where it is stored and the transfer terms. We also handle personal data under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 in India.
How do you quote projects for UK businesses, and who owns the work?
Each project is quoted on its own, with a fixed price agreed up front, and ongoing support runs on a retainer scoped to what you need. Everything we build for you, including all code and IP, belongs to your business. It all starts with a 30-minute, no-obligation discovery call.
