We create apps that truly work for Indian businesses

Our journey began in 2020 after seeing too many companies waste money on apps that looked nice but didn't solve real problems. We're a small team based in Telangana who've built more than 40 mobile apps for businesses across India.

Apps Designed for Real Users

We picked up a lesson early on: many Indian app development firms chase features that look impressive in boardroom talks, yet at launch, users rarely engage with the app as intended.

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

Your customers aren't tech specialists, and they shouldn't have to be. We craft apps that feel intuitive at first open.

Our Unique Approach

What Building an App Really Looks Like

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

1

Figuring Out What You Truly Require

We spend 2-3 weeks just listening. Last month, a retail client came to us wanting a loyalty program app. After talking to their customers, we discovered they actually needed better inventory visibility. Built that instead, and their sales increased by about a quarter in the first quarter.

2

Design That Works for People in India

We tailor our design to how people in India actually use their devices, considering varying connection speeds, diverse screen dimensions, and several languages. Your grandmother should be able to figure out your app without calling for help.

3

Developing and Testing in Real-Life Settings

We evaluate apps on older Android devices with unstable connections, not only the newest smartphones with flawless networks. The app should function in Tier 2 cities during peak times, not just in a developer's office.

Launch Support That Truly Helps

The initial month post-launch brings questions. We're reachable by WhatsApp, phone, or email. When a payment gateway hiccup affected a client during a sale late at night, we resolved it within an hour. That's part of our service.

Why Clients Stay With Us

Most of our work comes through referrals. Here’s what clients consider most important after deployment.

We Explain Things Clearly

We avoid technical jargon unless requested. If something goes wrong, we describe what happened and how we’re addressing it in plain terms.

"They clarified why our app lagged in rural regions and resolved it without making us feel foolish for asking." — Retail chain executive, Karnataka

Budgets That Don’t Break the Bank

We provide a price range up front based on similar projects. If something unexpected arises, we discuss it before spending. Last year, the vast majority stayed within a narrow margin of the original estimate.

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

A Forward-Locused Mindset

We develop apps that scale with your business. A logistics client began with simple tracking in 2023. Today they manage thousands of deliveries daily on the same foundation. We anticipated that from the start.

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

Designed for Indian Market Realities

Developing apps for India means tackling challenges unseen in Silicon Valley. Spotty connectivity, multilingual users, 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 Bangalore could falter in Patna if local conditions aren't considered.

  • Offline access when connectivity is lost
  • Support for local languages and scripts
  • Various payment methods, including cash-on-delivery integration
  • Optimized for budget Android devices
  • Bandwidth-efficient design for limited data plans
