We develop apps that truly perform for Indian businesses

Originating in 2014 after seeing many firms spend on apps that were flashy but addressed no real issues. We're a compact team based in Telangana that's built more than forty mobile apps for businesses across India.

Apps Built for Real Users

Here's an early lesson we picked up: many software firms in India chase features that sound great in meetings, but after release, users don't engage as expected.

During the first week we focus on speaking with the people who will actually use your app. Not surveys or focus groups – real conversations. A restaurant owner from Hyderabad taught us more about delivery apps in half an hour than any design class ever did.

Your customers aren't tech experts, and they shouldn't have to be. We create apps that make sense the very first time someone opens them.

How We Work Differently

What Building an App Really Entails

No corporate jargon. Just the straightforward process we follow for every client.

1

Figuring Out What You Truly Need

We spend two to three weeks listening closely. Recently a retail client asked for a loyalty app. After speaking with their customers, we realized they actually needed better inventory visibility. We built that instead, and their sales climbed roughly a quarter in the first quarter.

Design That Resonates with Indian Users

We tailor designs to how people in India actually use their phones, accounting for varying connection speeds, different screen sizes, and multiple languages. Your grandmother should be able to figure out your app without calling for help.

3

Developing and Testing in Real World Conditions

We test apps on legacy Android devices with spotty connections, not just the latest devices with perfect networks. Your app needs to work in Tier 2 cities during rush hour, not only in a developer's office.

Launch Support That Truly Helps

The first month after launch is when questions come up. We're available via WhatsApp, phone, or email. When a payment gateway issue affected a client late at night during a sale, we fixed it within an hour. That's just part of the service.

What Keeps Clients Loyal

The majority of our work comes through referrals. Here’s what clients identify as most important after the app goes live.

We Explain Things Clearly

No geek-speak unless you request it. If something goes wrong, we describe what happened and how we’re fixing it in plain language.

"They explained why our app was slow in rural areas and fixed it without making us feel foolish for asking." — Retail chain owner, Mumbai

Budgets You Can Trust

We provide an upfront price range based on similar projects we’ve done. If something unexpected arises, we discuss it before spending your money. In the previous year, the vast majority of projects stayed within a tight margin of the original estimate.

"No hidden costs, no surprise bills. They told us exactly what things would cost and why." — Healthcare startup founder, Bengaluru

A Long-Term Perspective

We build apps that can grow with your business. A logistics client began with basic tracking years ago. Now they handle thousands of deliveries daily on the same foundation. We planned for that from day one.

"They asked questions about our five-year plan during the first meeting. That saved us from rebuilding everything later." — Logistics company director, Chennai

Engineered for Indian Market Realities

Building apps in India involves addressing challenges that aren't present in Silicon Valley. Unstable connectivity, multilingual audiences, diverse device capabilities, and a wide range of payment preferences.

We've partnered with businesses across twelve states. A delivery app that runs smoothly in Bangalore could stumble in Patna if local conditions aren't considered.

  • Offline capability when connectivity drops
  • Support for local languages and scripts
  • Various payment methods, including cash on delivery integration
  • Optimized for budget Android devices
  • Efficient data usage for users on limited plans
