We Create Apps That Genuinely Get the Job Done for Indian Businesses

Originated in 2015 after watching too many companies waste money on apps that looked nice but didn't solve real problems. We're a compact team based in Telangana who've built more than 50 mobile apps for businesses across India.

Apps Designed for Real Users

Early on we realized that many Indian app development firms chase features that look impressive in meetings, yet at launch the app is used in ways the makers didn't anticipate.

In the first week, we speak directly with the people who will 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, nor should they have to be. We create apps that feel intuitive the first time someone opens them.

Our Different Way of Working

What Creating an App Really Looks Like

No corporate jargon. Just the straightforward process we apply for every client.

1

Understanding What You Actually Need

We spend a couple of weeks simply listening. Recently, a retail client came to us looking for a loyalty program app. After speaking to their customers, we found they actually needed better visibility into inventory. We built that instead, and their sales rose noticeably in the first quarter.

2

Design That Feels Right for Indian Users

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

3

Building and Testing in Real Conditions

We test apps on older Android devices with unstable connections, not just the latest models with perfect WiFi. Your app needs to work in Tier 2 cities during peak hours, not only in a developer's office.

Launch Support That Truly Helps

The first month after launch is when questions come up. 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 just part of the service.

Reasons Clients Stick With Us

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

We Respond to Questions Clearly

No heavy jargon unless you request it. When issues arise, we describe what happened and how we’re resolving it in plain terms.

"They explained why our app was slow in rural areas and fixed it without making us feel silly for asking." — Retail chain owner, Karnataka

Costs That Don’t Balloon

We present 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 year, the vast majority stayed within a five-percent band of the initial estimate.

"No hidden charges, no unexpected invoices. They explained the pricing clearly and the reasons." — Healthcare startup founder, Mumbai

A Long-Term Perspective

We build apps that can grow with your business. A logistics client started with basic tracking in 2019. Now they're handling around 3,800 deliveries daily on the same foundation. We planned for that from day one.

"They inquired about our five-year plan at the initial meeting. That helped us avoid a major rebuild later." — Logistics company director, Delhi

Designed for Indian Market Realities

Building apps in India requires tackling challenges that aren't found in Silicon Valley. Intermittent connectivity, multilingual users, a range of device capabilities, and diverse payment options.

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

  • Offline mode when connectivity is lost
  • Support for local languages and scripts
  • Various payment methods including cash-on-delivery
  • Optimized for basic Android devices
  • Bandwidth-conscious design for constrained data plans
