We Create Apps That Truly Deliver for Indian Businesses

Launched in 2018 after seeing numerous companies pour money into apps that were flashy but failed to address real issues. We're a compact team headquartered in Telangana that has developed over forty mobile apps for businesses across India.

Apps Built for Actual Users

Here's something we learned early: most app development companies in India focus on features that sound impressive in meetings. But when the app launches, nobody uses it the way they expected.

In the first week, we focus on conversations with the people who'll actually use your app. Not surveys or focus groups – genuine dialogues. A restaurant owner in Hyderabad taught us more about delivery apps in 30 minutes than any design course ever did.

Your customers aren't tech experts, and they shouldn't need to be. We build apps that feel intuitive from the very first opening.

How We Work Differently

What Building an App Really Involves

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

1

Clarifying What You Truly Need

We spend two to three weeks listening. Recently, a retailer approached us with a request for a loyalty app. After speaking with their customers, we realized they needed improved inventory visibility. We built that instead, and sales rose by a little over a quarter in the first quarter.

2

Design That Makes Sense for People in India

We design around how people in India actually use their phones, considering varying internet speeds, diverse screen sizes, and multiple languages. An elderly user should be able to operate your app without needing assistance.

3

Developing and Testing in Real-World Conditions

We test on older Android devices with weak 3G connections, not just the latest models with ideal connectivity. Your app should perform in Tier 2 cities during peak hours, not just in a developer's office.

4

Launch Support That Really Helps

The first month after launch usually brings questions. We're reachable by WhatsApp, phone, or email. When a payment gateway problem struck a client late at night during a sale, we resolved it within an hour. That's part of our service.

Why Clients Stay With Us

Most of our work comes from referrals. Here's what clients say matters most after the app goes live.

We Explain Things Clearly

No geeky jargon unless you request it. If something goes wrong, we outline what happened and our fixes in straightforward language.

"They described why our app was slow in rural regions and fixed it without making us feel ignorant for asking." — Retail chain proprietor, Karnataka

Costs That Don’t Balloon

We present an upfront price band based on similar projects we've completed. If surprises arise, 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

Forward-Looking Strategy

We develop apps that can scale with your business. A logistics client began with basic tracking a couple of years ago. They now process thousands of deliveries daily on the same base. We anticipated this from the start.

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

Engineered for Indian Market Realities

Building apps for India involves addressing challenges that don't exist in Silicon Valley. Intermittent connectivity, multilingual audiences, diverse device capabilities, and a wide array of payment options.

We've collaborated with firms across twelve states. A delivery app that runs flawlessly in Bangalore could stumble in Patna if local conditions aren't taken into account.

  • Offline capability when the connection drops
  • Support for local languages and scripts
  • Several payment options, including COD integration
  • Optimized for budget Android devices
  • Data-conscious design for limited data plans
