Outsourcing to India
Offshore software development in India for Canadian businesses
Canadian startups and businesses hire us for developers they can afford, morning calls on Eastern time, and apps that work in English and French.
How much does it cost a Canadian business to outsource software development to India?
With Infovion Technologies in Pune, India, Canadian 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. The team's 9 am to 10 pm IST day overlaps Toronto and Montreal mornings until about 11:30 am EST or 12:30 pm EDT.

Working hours with Canada
- Our team works 9 am to 10 pm India time (IST, UTC+5:30, no daylight saving), seven days a week.
- Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal: India is 9½ hours ahead in summer and 10½ in winter; our day overlaps yours until about 12:30 pm EDT / 11:30 am EST
- Vancouver: 12½ to 13½ hours apart; work moves overnight with a written update in your morning
- A daily standup in your morning is the usual rhythm
Privacy and contracts
- PIPEDA applies to personal information handled in the course of commercial activity, including when it is processed outside Canada
- Quebec's Law 25 adds a privacy impact assessment before personal information leaves Quebec
- We sign a data processing agreement and use test data where personal data is not needed
- Hosting can stay in Canadian cloud regions under your accounts
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
