Outsourcing to India
Software development for Saudi Arabia, from India
Saudi businesses are digitising fast, and local developers are expensive and in demand. We give you a dedicated team 2½ hours away, building Arabic-first apps and the ZATCA integrations your finance team needs.
How much does software development cost for a Saudi business working with an Indian company?
With Infovion Technologies in Pune, India, Saudi businesses pay about SAR 45 to 95 an hour ($12 to $25), SAR 3,400 to 6,750 a month for a dedicated full-time developer, and typically SAR 11,000 to 56,000 for a web app or MVP at a fixed price; maintenance starts from about SAR 560 a month. India is 2½ hours ahead of Saudi Arabia, so the whole Saudi working day overlaps. Infovion builds Arabic and English (RTL) apps and integrations with ZATCA's e-invoicing (Fatoora) platform, and works with Saudi PDPL requirements, fully enforced since 14 September 2024.

Working hours with Saudi Arabia
- Our team works 9 am to 10 pm India time (IST, UTC+5:30, no daylight saving), seven days a week.
- India is 2½ hours ahead of Saudi Arabia all year
- Our day runs 6:30 am to 7:30 pm Saudi time: the whole working day overlaps
- Calls on Sundays, a Saudi working day, are fine
Saudi data protection
- The Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), administered by SDAIA, has been fully enforceable since 14 September 2024
- Sending personal data outside the Kingdom is governed by SDAIA's transfer regulation, which can require safeguards and a risk assessment
- Hosting and databases can stay in Saudi cloud regions under your accounts while we develop from India
- Where personal data is not needed, we work on test data only
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
- A written scope and fixed price, or a monthly plan, within two business days
- A small paid first milestone, so you can judge the work before committing more

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the time difference between Saudi Arabia and India?
India is 2½ hours ahead of Saudi Arabia all year. Our 9 am to 10 pm IST day runs 6:30 am to 7:30 pm in Riyadh, covering the full working day.
Can you integrate with ZATCA e-invoicing?
Yes. We integrate billing and ERP systems with ZATCA's Fatoora platform: structured XML invoices, QR codes, and clearance or reporting as your wave requires.
Does the Saudi PDPL allow development from India?
Yes, with care. The PDPL has been enforceable since 14 September 2024, and transfers of personal data outside the Kingdom follow SDAIA's transfer regulation. Keeping data hosted in Saudi Arabia and giving us test data avoids most transfers; your legal adviser confirms what applies.
