Creating Apps That Truly Work in Indian Markets

For years we've been analyzing what makes mobile apps succeed in India. It's not only about writing code; it's about understanding your users, their devices, and how they truly engage with technology. This insight guides every project we begin.

How We Get Started

Before we type even a single line of code, we take time to grasp what you're aiming to achieve. And frankly, this step matters more than most realize. We've witnessed too many apps fail because teams skip it.

1

Understanding Your Business

We meet with you — often over tea — and explore what your business truly requires. Not the latest trend or what a competitor just released. We're examining your particular challenges, how your users behave, and what success will look like for you six months down the line.

2

Technical Planning

This is where we chart the technical aspects. We assess device compatibility across India's diverse market — your app should perform on a three-year-old Android device as well as the newest iPhone. We also plan for flaky connectivity, which remains a reality for many Indian users.

Design Foundation

We draft wireframes centered on real user flows. Nothing elaborate yet — simply ensuring the app's layout makes sense before we commit to polished visuals. This saves weeks of revisions later if a flow proves unsuitable for your users.

Our Development Philosophy

We develop apps in increments. You receive updates every two weeks, rather than waiting six months with no news. This approach lets us spot and fix adjustments early while it's simple.

  • Iterative builds: Functional components are released gradually. You test them with real users while we're still developing. The feedback guides the next steps, ensuring the final product aligns with market needs.
  • Platform-native approach: We tailor for each platform rather than one-size-fits-all. iOS expects specific interactions; Android expects others. We craft native experiences that feel appropriate on every platform, avoiding unnecessary concessions.
  • Performance focus: Apps must be responsive, particularly on mid-range devices widespread in India. We optimize from the start, not retrospectively. Startup times, battery life, data usage — these factors shape users' everyday experience.
  • Security integration: Security is embedded from the outset for payments, user data, and business information. We adhere to industry norms and keep up with regional regulatory requirements.
