The team  Matterward Labs

# The people at the controls.

We build the products, make the walkthroughs, and occasionally remember to put the controller down.

Our starting point July 2026 Founded in Odisha, India

Player 1 The builder

Product builder / gamer

Founder & CEO

## Satyajit Pradhan

### Tech, product & the walkthrough

Satyajit works across the idea, the code, and the product you use. He builds apps and games, shapes the interfaces, and makes the guides and videos that explain them. Before Matterward, he co-founded AppyFlux and built ZyadaShop.

Has a small idea. Opens twelve tabs. Somehow there is now an app.

### Off the clock

Counter-Strike, Call of Duty, football and racing games. ‘One more match’ is a flexible unit of time.

Player 2 The samurai

Full-stack developer / samurai fan

Co-founder · OpenAlly™ engineering

## Debashis Panda

### The tech behind OpenAlly

Debashis, or Deba, takes care of OpenAlly’s technology. A full-stack developer, he has been building alongside Satyajit since their AppyFlux days. His background also includes senior software engineering at Mosambee.

The samurai enthusiasm is real. The sword stays out of code review.

### Off the clock

Ghost of Yōtei, samurai stories, and taking the scenic route through a game. The main quest can wait.

Co-op, continued

## A new company.
A familiar teammate.

Matterward Labs was founded in July 2026. Our working relationship goes back to AppyFlux, the startup we built together before this.

Now we are putting that shared experience into OpenAlly and the products around it. We still work close to the code, the interface, and the people using what we make.
