We design software that truly works for Indian businesses

Launched in 2020 after seeing too many companies waste money on apps that looked nice but didn’t solve real problems. We're a compact team based in Telangana with more than 40 mobile apps built for businesses across India.

Apps Crafted for Real Users

Here's an early takeaway we picked up: most app development firms in India chase features that sound impressive in meetings. Yet at launch, users don't engage with the app the way they expected.

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

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

How Our Approach Differs

What Creating an App Really Entails

No buzzwords. Just the straightforward process we follow for every client.

1

Figuring Out Your True Needs

We spend a couple of weeks listening carefully. Last month, a retail client approached us with a plan for a loyalty program app. After speaking with their customers, we realized they actually needed better visibility into their stock. We built that instead, and their sales rose by around 20% in the first quarter.

Design That Feels Local to India

We design for how people in India actually use their phones. That means accounting for varying internet speeds, different screen sizes, and multiple languages. Your grandma should be able to figure out your app without needing help.

3

Building and Testing in Real-World Conditions

We test apps on older Android devices with spotty 3G connections, not just the latest iPhones with perfect WiFi. 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 you'll have questions. We're available via WhatsApp, phone, or email. When a payment gateway issue hit one of our clients late at night during a sale, we fixed it within an hour. That's part of the service.

What Keeps Clients Loyal to Us

The majority of our projects come via referrals. Here’s what clients consider most important once the app launches.

We Explain Things Clearly

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

"They clarified why our app was slow in rural areas and addressed it without making us feel ignorant for asking." — Retail chain executive, Karnataka

Budget Ranges that Stay Reasonable

We present an upfront price band based on similar projects we’ve done. If anything unexpected arises, we discuss it before spending your money. In the previous year, most projects stayed within a tight five percent of the initial estimate.

"Transparent pricing from start to finish—no hidden fees or surprise bills. They explained the costs and the reasons clearly." — Healthcare startup founder, Mumbai

Long-Term Planning

We build apps that can grow with your business. A logistics client began with basic tracking in 2015. Today they're handling thousands of deliveries daily on the same platform. We anticipated this from the start.

"They inquired about our five-year strategy in the initial meeting. That helped us avoid major rebuilds later." — Logistics company director, Delhi

Designed for Indian Market Realities

Building applications for India involves tackling challenges unseen in Silicon Valley. Spotty connections, diverse languages among users, varying device specifications, and a wide range of payment methods.

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

  • Offline operation when connectivity goes down
  • Support for local languages and scripts
  • A variety of payment methods, including cash-on-delivery integration
  • Tailored for low-end Android devices
  • Efficient data usage for restricted data plans
