Outsourcing to India
Offshore software development in India for UK businesses
UK agencies and businesses outsource to us for the overlap as much as the price: our day covers almost all of yours, so questions get answered the same day and calls happen in normal office hours.
How much does it cost a UK business to outsource software development to India?
With Infovion Technologies in Pune, India, UK clients pay about $12 to $25 an hour for development, $900 to $1,800 a month for a dedicated full-time developer, and typically $3,000 to $15,000 for a web app or MVP at a fixed price, invoiced in US dollars; maintenance starts from about $150 a month. India is 4½ hours ahead of the UK in summer and 5½ in winter, and the team works 9 am to 10 pm IST, which covers the UK working day from 9 am to 4:30 pm GMT or 5:30 pm BST. Where personal data goes to India, transfers are covered by the ICO's International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Addendum. Contact: WhatsApp +91 93091 93613 or contact@infovion.in.

Working hours with the UK
- Our team works 9 am to 10 pm India time (IST, UTC+5:30, no daylight saving), seven days a week.
- India is 4½ hours ahead of the UK in summer (BST) and 5½ in winter (GMT)
- Our day covers the UK working day: 4:30 am to 5:30 pm BST, or 3:30 am to 4:30 pm GMT
- Calls at any normal UK office time; replies the same working day
- Morning stand-ups at 9 or 10 am UK time are easy
UK GDPR and sending data to India
- The UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 apply to your customers' personal data
- India has no UK approval for transfers (the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 replaced adequacy decisions with transfer regulations from February 2026), so transfers need appropriate safeguards
- We sign the ICO's International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or the UK Addendum to the EU clauses, plus a data processing agreement
- Where we do not need personal data, we work on anonymised or 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
