Creating Apps that Truly Work for Indian Markets

For years we have been uncovering what makes mobile apps succeed in India. It isn't just about writing code — it's about understanding your users, their devices, and how they actually engage with technology. This insight guides how we begin every project.

How We Begin

Before writing any code, we take time to understand what you're aiming to achieve. And honestly, this step matters more than many folks realize. We've seen too many apps fail when teams skip it.

1

Grasping Your Business

We meet with you — usually over chai — and drill into your real business needs. Not what's trendy or what a competitor just launched. We're examining your unique challenges, your users' behaviour patterns, and what success will look like for you six months from now.

2

Technical Planning

This is where we outline the technical aspects. We assess device compatibility across India's diverse market — because your app should run as smoothly on that three-year-old Android device as on the latest iPhone. We also design for intermittent connectivity, which remains a reality for many Indian users.

Design Foundation

We develop wireframes focused on real user journeys. Nothing fancy yet — just ensuring the app's structure makes sense before we invest in polished visuals. This saves weeks of revisions later when we find a flow doesn't fit your customers.

Our Development Principles

We develop applications in stages. You’ll observe progress every two weeks instead of waiting six months in silence. This approach lets us spot changes early while they're easy to fix.

  • Incremental releases: We roll out usable components in stages. You trial them with actual users while development continues. The feedback guides the next steps, ensuring the finished product aligns with market needs.
  • Native-first approach: We don’t use generic, one-size-fits-all solutions. iOS users anticipate particular interactions, while Android users anticipate different ones. We craft native experiences that feel appropriate on each platform rather than forcing trade-offs.
  • Performance at the core: Applications must be quick, particularly on mid-range devices widespread in India. We optimize from the outset, not as an afterthought. Load times, battery life, data usage — these factors shape users' daily experience.
  • Security baked in: Payment gateways, user information, business data — secured with layers from the outset. We adhere to industry standards and keep up with regional compliance rules.
