We develop apps that actually work for Indian businesses

We began in 2021 after witnessing too many companies waste money on apps that looked polished but didn't solve real problems. We're a small team based in Telangana, and we've built more than 40 mobile apps for businesses across India.

Apps Built for Real Users

Early on we realized that many app development firms in India chase features that look impressive in boardrooms, yet at launch the app is used differently than planned.

During the initial week, we talk directly with the people who will use the app, not through surveys or focus groups but through genuine conversations. A restaurant owner in Hyderabad taught us more about delivery apps in half an hour than any design course ever did.

Your users aren't tech specialists, and they shouldn't have to be. We create apps that feel intuitive from the first tap.

How We Work Differently

What Creating an App Really Involves

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

1

Figuring Out Your Real Needs

We typically spend around two to three weeks listening. A few weeks ago a retail client asked for a loyalty app. After speaking with their customers, we found they needed clearer inventory visibility. We built that instead, and their sales rose noticeably in the following quarter.

2

Design That ResAonates with Users in India

We design for the way users in India interact with their devices. This means considering diverse connection speeds, a range of screen sizes, and several languages. Even grandma should be able to navigate the app without needing assistance.

3

Developing and Verifying in Real-Life Scenarios

We test on legacy Android devices with unreliable connections, not only on new devices with perfect WiFi. The app should perform well in mid-sized cities during peak hours, not just in a lab.

Launch Support That Truly Helps

The initial month after rollout brings questions. You can reach us by WhatsApp, call, or email. When a payment gateway glitch affected a client late at night during a sale, we fixed it within a couple of hours. That's part of what we provide.

Why Clients Choose to Stay with Us

The majority of our projects come from referrals. Here’s what clients consider most important after launch.

We Explain Things Clearly

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

"They clarified why our app slowed in rural areas and fixed it without making us feel foolish for asking." — Retail chain owner, Karnataka

Budgets That Don’t Balloon

We present a price range upfront based on similar projects we’ve done. If an unforeseen item arises, we review it before spending your funds. In the previous year, most projects stayed within a small margin of the original estimate.

"No hidden fees and no surprise charges. They explained the costs clearly and why." — Healthcare startup founder, Mumbai

Thinking for the Long Term

We create apps designed to scale with your business. A logistics client began with simple tracking in 2019. Today they process thousands of deliveries each day on the same base. We anticipated this from day one.

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

Built for Indian Market Realities

Developing apps for India involves tackling challenges that aren't present in Silicon Valley. Unreliable connectivity, users who speak many languages, a wide range of device capabilities, and a variety of payment methods.

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

  • Offline mode when the connection is lost
  • Support for local languages and scripts
  • Several payment methods, including cash-on-delivery integration
  • Efficient on budget Android devices
  • Bandwidth-conscious design for limited data plans
