About Badang Labs

Strategic data expertise, sized to the stage you're in.

For many growing companies, data work doesn't fit the full-time hire model — yet. You need experienced expertise for strategy, hands-on support for execution, and flexibility as priorities shift. For established teams, the need is often different: temporary cover, a focused project, or a senior hand to spin up a new regional capability quickly.

Quick wins from week one
Dashboards, automation, and analyses that drive faster decisions — done properly, with no shortcuts that create technical debt.
Sustainable foundations
Whether it's a 4-week sprint or an ongoing partnership, the work is built to last — not patched together to look impressive.

Three engagement shapes.

Fractional partnerships for teams building data capabilities from the ground up. Project-based work for established teams with a defined scope and deadline. Interim coverage for hiring gaps or new regional teams.

The team behind the work

A decade of analytics work, applied to your context.

Honest fit check

Is this partnership right for your company?

We'd rather tell you up front than discover it three months in.

We're a great fit when

You're ready to scale your data capabilities
Moving from manual to automated workflows, basic to sophisticated analytics, or building new capabilities while maintaining existing ones.
You need experienced guidance without a full-time hire
Strategic architecture decisions, guidance for growing capabilities, or temporary senior coverage during transitions or hiring gaps.
You're building foundations for the first time
Establishing proper data practices from the start — avoiding the common pitfalls and technical debt of retrofitting later.
You have data initiatives but lack bandwidth
Backlogged projects, limited capacity, or new opportunities you can't address without deprioritising existing work.

We might not be the right fit if

You need deep, domain-specific expertise
Specialised fields like genomics, quantitative trading, or advanced ML research that require deep domain knowledge beyond general data capabilities.
You need full-time, most-senior-level expertise
Very deep, specialised work that requires dedicated senior expertise 100% of the time fits better with a full-time hire than a fractional model.
You prefer to build everything in-house from day one
A fully internal team handling all data work without external support is a valid approach — though it requires significant hiring investment and time.

Where we sit in the market

Experienced expertise, without agency overhead or a full-time commitment.

Traditional Consultancy

S$15–40k

per month

Quick to engage and polished delivery. But the highest cost, and rotating teams can mean re-explaining your business.

Full-Time Hire

S$6–15k

per month, all-in

Builds deep business knowledge over time. But slow to hire, and the highest-commitment option.

Badang Labs

S$4.8–8k

per month

Fast to start, easy to adjust. The same person learns your business, at a fraction of the cost of alternatives. Lighter-touch options from S$900/month.

Project / interim quoted separately

For companies outside Singapore

Working with us from anywhere in the region.

Most of our clients are based outside Singapore. The cross-border setup is well-trodden — here's how it works in practice.

How does invoicing work for companies outside Singapore?

All engagements are quoted and invoiced in SGD under a Singapore-registered entity. We issue monthly invoices with standard payment terms — your finance team handles it like any other Singapore vendor payment.

How do you handle data when working across borders?

We're happy to discuss your specific data handling requirements during the discovery call. Where possible, we prefer to work within your existing environment rather than moving data around — and we'll adapt our approach to fit your needs.

What governs the contract and engagement terms?

Engagements are contracted under Singapore law with SGD invoicing. If you have specific contracting requirements, we're happy to discuss those during the discovery call.

Are there tax or regulatory considerations for cross-border services?

Cross-border engagements may have tax implications depending on your jurisdiction — we recommend consulting your local tax or legal advisor for specifics. We're happy to share what we know from our experience, but we're not tax or legal advisors.

Have a question we haven't covered? Book a discovery call or send us a WhatsApp message — we're happy to discuss your specific situation.
