Outsourcing to India
Offshore software development in India for Australian businesses
Australian businesses get a team that starts work during your lunch and keeps going after you log off, at a fraction of local rates. Brief us in the afternoon; see progress the next morning.
How much does it cost an Australian business to outsource software development to India?
With Infovion Technologies in Pune, India, Australian clients pay about US$12 to 25 an hour for development, US$900 to 1,800 a month for a dedicated full-time developer, and typically US$3,000 to 15,000 for a web app or MVP at a fixed price, invoiced in US dollars; maintenance starts from about US$150 a month. India is 4½ to 5½ hours behind Sydney and 2½ hours behind Perth, so our day overlaps Sydney afternoons from about 1:30 or 2:30 pm and most of the Perth working day.

Is a small Indian team right for you?
We are a small MSME team in Pune, not a 500-person outsourcing firm: you talk directly to the people writing your code, decisions are quick, and the budget suits startups and small and mid-size businesses. If you need dozens of developers at once, 24-hour staffing or certifications such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2, which we do not hold, a large IT services firm is the better choice.
How to start
- Send a short brief, or access to your existing code
- A video call at a time that suits your time zone
