We Develop Apps That Really Work for Indian Companies

Started in 2021 after too many companies splurged on apps that looked good but didn’t fix real problems. We're a small Telangana-based team that has developed more than 40 mobile apps for businesses across the country.

Apps Built for Real Users

One early lesson we picked up is that many app development firms in India chase features that sound impressive in meetings. Yet after launch, people don't use the app the way they expect.

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

Your customers aren't tech natives, and they shouldn't have to be. We craft apps that feel intuitive the first time someone opens them.

How We Work Differently

What Building an App Really Entails

No corporate buzzwords. Just the straightforward process we use for every client.

1

Figuring Out Your Real Needs

We spend a couple of weeks just listening. Recently, a retail client came to us wanting a loyalty app. After speaking with their customers, we realized they actually needed better inventory visibility. We built that instead, and their sales rose in the first quarter.

2

User-friendly design for how people in India actually use their phones

We tailor design to how people in India genuinely use their devices, considering varying internet speeds, diverse screen sizes, and multiple languages. Your grandmother should be able to navigate your app without needing assistance.

3

Developing and Testing in Real-Life Conditions

We test on older Android devices with unreliable connections, not only on new phones with flawless internet. Your app should perform in smaller cities during peak hours, not just in a developer's lab.

Launch Support That Truly Helps

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

What Makes Clients Stay With Us

Most of our projects come through referrals. Here's what clients consider most important once the app launches.

We Explain Questions Clearly

No tech-speak unless you request it. When issues arise, we describe what happened and how we're resolving 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 operator, Karnataka

Budgets That Don't Balloon

We provide a price range up front based on similar projects we've done. If something unexpected comes up, we discuss it before spending your money. In the previous period, the vast majority stayed within a small variance of the initial forecast.

"No hidden fees, no surprise charges. They explained precisely what everything would cost and why." — Healthcare startup founder, Mumbai

A Long-Term View

We create applications that scale with your business. A logistics client began with basic tracking in 2019. Today they manage about 4,000 deliveries every day on the same foundation. We anticipated that from the start.

"They inquired about our five-year strategy at the initial meeting. That prevented us from having to redo everything later." — Logistics company director, Delhi

Tailored for Indian Market Realities

Building apps for India means tackling challenges unseen in Silicon Valley. Sporadic connectivity, multilingual users, varied device capabilities, and a wide range of payment preferences.

We've partnered with companies across several states. A delivery app that runs smoothly in Bengaluru could stumble in Patna if local conditions aren't accounted for.

  • Offline support when connectivity drops
  • Support for local languages and scripts
  • Several payment methods, including cash-on-delivery support
  • Optimized for budget Android devices
  • Low-data design suitable for limited data plans
