What matters
What to get right
- 01Time zones: plan the overlap, do not hope for it
India Standard Time is about 9.5 to 10.5 hours ahead of US Eastern time, depending on daylight saving. Your morning overlaps with our evening. We agree a fixed overlap window, run work asynchronously with written daily updates and keep decisions in writing.
- 02Working software every week
Distance is manageable when you can see progress. We ship in small increments so you review real builds, not status reports.
- 03Settle ownership in writing
Before work starts, agree on IP ownership, NDAs, repository and cloud account ownership, and access control. Accounts should live in your name from day one.
- 04Total cost, not just hourly rate
A low rate does not help if requirements are unclear. A narrow first release and a clear plan usually save more than a lower rate.

Questions about offshore software development India for US startups
How do you handle the time difference with US teams?
We agree a fixed overlap window, work asynchronously with written updates and use recorded demos so decisions do not wait for a meeting.
Who owns the code and accounts?
You should. We agree IP ownership, NDAs and account ownership in writing before development starts, and we use repositories and cloud accounts in your name.
Can you work with our in-house developers?
Yes. We can run a managed project or embed alongside your team, whichever fits your roadmap.
What does engagement cost?
Cost depends on team and scope. Hourly rates start from $15, and we scope a practical first release before estimating the total.
