We Create Apps That Really Do for Indian Companies

Began in 2015 after seeing too many firms spend money on apps that looked good but didn't address real issues. We're a small team based in Telangana who've built dozens of mobile apps for businesses across India.

Apps Built for Real Users

One early takeaway: many app development firms in India chase features that look impressive in boardroom discussions. Yet at launch, users don't engage as planners anticipated.

We dedicate the initial week to speaking directly with the actual users of your app. Not surveys or focus groups – genuine dialogues. A restaurant owner in Hyderabad taught us more about delivery apps in half an hour than any design course ever did.

Your customers aren’t IT specialists, and they shouldn’t have to be. We craft apps that feel intuitive on first use.

How We Work Differently

What Building an App Really Involves

No corporate jargon. Just the straightforward process we use with every client.

1

Clarifying Your Real Needs

We spend two to three weeks simply listening. Last month, a retail client came to us for a loyalty program app. After speaking with their customers, we realized they actually needed better inventory visibility. We built that instead, and their sales climbed noticeably in the first quarter.

2

Design That Respects Local Ways

We design with how people in India genuinely use their phones in mind—adapting to slow and fast connections, a range of screen sizes, and many languages. So that even your grandmother can navigate the app without needing help.

3

Developing and Testing Under Real Conditions

We evaluate on legacy Android devices with unreliable 3G, not only on the latest iPhones with perfect connectivity. The app must work in Tier 2 cities during rush hour, not just in a developer's lab.

4

Launch Support That Truly Assists

The first month after launch is when questions arise. We're available via WhatsApp, phone, or email. When a payment gateway issue hit one of our clients at 11 PM during a sale, we fixed it within an hour. That's just part of the service.

What Keeps Clients with Us

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

We Respond to Questions Clearly

No technical mumbo-jumbo unless you request it. When issues arise, we describe what happened and how we're resolving it in plain terms.

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

Costs That Won't Balloon

We provide an upfront price range based on similar projects we've done. If surprises come up, we discuss them before spending your money. In the previous year, most projects stayed within a small margin of the initial estimate.

"No hidden fees, no surprise invoices. They explained exactly what items would cost and why." — Healthcare startup founder, Mumbai

A Long-Run Perspective

We build apps that can grow with your business. A logistics client began with basic tracking in 2021. Today they manage 4,000 deliveries each day on the same platform. We anticipated this from day one.

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

Designed for Indian Market Realities

Building apps for India involves addressing challenges unseen in Silicon Valley. Occasional connectivity, users speaking many languages, varying device capabilities, and a wide range of payment options.

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

  • Offline operation when connectivity dips
  • Support for local languages and scripts
  • Several payment methods including cash on delivery integration
  • Optimized for budget Android devices
  • Data-efficient design for limited data plans
