We started PYD ENTERPRISES because discovery was a slide deck.

Modernization discovery has run the same way for decades. On a core banking bid, a fixed-price build estimate is priced from a discovery phase where consultants read COBOL by hand, interview the two people left who remember the batch schedule, and write specifications into documents that are stale before the build starts.

The code itself can answer most of the questions those consultants ask, if something parses it properly: resolves every copybook, lays out every REDEFINES byte by byte, follows every PERFORM THRU and CICS XCTL. The founding engineers spent 2025 building exactly that, starting with an IBM Enterprise COBOL front end.

Sahil Saxena founded PYD ENTERPRISES PRIVATE LIMITED in Mumbai in 2026 around a narrow thesis. Discovery should be an engineering artifact, not a slide deck. A modernization team should be able to point at any business rule in its specification and see the exact source lines it came from, and the people who own that logic should sign it off before anyone builds against it.

That thesis also set what PYD ENTERPRISES does not do. It does not translate COBOL into Java line by line, and it does not write the target system. It extracts specifications, decision tables, contracts and equivalence tests so engineers can build clean services with evidence in hand.
