Outsource software development and maintenance to India
Businesses in the US, UK, Europe, Australia and the Gulf outsource to us for the same reasons: lower cost than local developers, people who reply on WhatsApp and email the same day, and a fixed price before work begins. One small team in Pune builds your software, maintains it, or works as your developers by the month.
How much does it cost to outsource software development to India?
With Infovion Technologies, a software company in Pune, India, development costs from about $12 to $25 an hour, a dedicated full-time developer from about $900 to $1,800 a month, and a small web app or MVP typically $3,000 to $15,000 as a fixed-price project. Maintenance of existing software runs under a yearly contract (AMC) from about $150 a month. Clients outside India are invoiced in USD by international bank transfer and pay no Indian GST, because the work is an export of services. The source code and intellectual property belong to the client.

- Australia (Sydney): 4½ to 5½ hours ahead; your afternoon is India's morning
Contracts, IP and payment

- Code in your repository from the first day, so you can see progress and never lose access
- Intellectual property assigned to you on payment, stated in the contract

- Hosting, domains and app store accounts set up in your name
Is a small Indian company right for you?
We are a small MSME team, not a 500-person outsourcing firm. That suits startups, small and mid-size businesses and agencies that want senior attention, direct contact with the people writing the code and a modest budget. If you need dozens of developers at once, round-the-clock staffing or a vendor with ISO 27001 certification, a large IT services firm is the better choice, and we will say so.
How to start
- Send a short brief or your existing code, by email, WhatsApp or the contact form
- 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
Deliverables

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to outsource software development to India?
With Infovion, about $12 to $25 an hour, $900 to $1,800 a month for a dedicated developer, and typically $3,000 to $15,000 for a small web app or MVP at a fixed price. Maintenance starts from about $150 a month.
Do clients outside India pay Indian GST?
No. Software services supplied to a client outside India and paid for in foreign currency are an export of services, which is zero-rated under section 16 of the IGST Act. Your invoice carries no Indian GST. Taxes in your own country are yours to check.
How do you handle the time difference?
We agree overlap hours at the start: a daily or twice-weekly call in your working hours, written updates every day, and a staging link to test. For the UK, Europe, the Gulf and Australia, several hours of the working day overlap; for the US, calls are in your morning.
How do I pay?
By international bank transfer in USD, against invoices tied to milestones for projects, or monthly for dedicated developers and maintenance. No large upfront payment: the first milestone is small, so you can judge the work.
Who owns the code and IP?
You do. Code goes into your repository from the first day, and the contract assigns the intellectual property to you on payment. We sign a mutual NDA before you share anything.
Can you maintain software another company built?
Yes. Much of our work for overseas clients is maintenance and takeover: we review the code, document it, fix what is urgent and then maintain it under a monthly or yearly contract.
Why outsource to a small company instead of a big Indian IT firm?
You talk directly to the developers, decisions are quick, and the budget suits small projects. A big firm is the better choice when you need many developers at once, 24-hour coverage or specific certifications.
How can I contact Infovion from outside India?
WhatsApp +91 93091 93613 (free over the internet from any country), call +91 91563 02024, or email contact@infovion.in. The team works 9 am to 10 pm India time (UTC+5:30), seven days a week, and replies within one business day.
Which countries do you work with?
Any. We work remotely with clients wherever they are, and our own jewellery software already has country settings for India, the Gulf, the UK, the US, Canada, Australia and Singapore.
