Mobile app development in Delhi NCR
Much of the NCR's consumer internet depends on an app most customers never see: the one used by the rider, the courier, the technician or the field sales rep. It runs on a budget Android phone, in the heat, with the battery saver on and the network coming and going. When that app loses a proof-of-delivery photo, logs a job twice or drains the battery by lunch, the customer-facing product fails with it.
We build these partner and field apps in React Native with those conditions as the baseline. Work is saved on the device and synced when a connection returns, photos and signatures upload in the background and resume after a drop, location is tracked in a way the operating system will not kill, and the release process lets you ship a fix the same day. Testing happens on the cheap phones your partners carry.
Delhi NCR is not one market but three, joined by expressways and a metro. Gurugram is where much of India's consumer internet grew up: food and grocery delivery, travel, logistics, home services and fintech, alongside the Indian offices of many multinationals. Noida has a different mix, with large IT services firms, edtech, media and healthcare technology companies selling to hospitals in the US. Delhi itself holds the government, and with it every company whose customer is a ministry, a state department or a public sector undertaking.
The consumer companies share an operational problem. Their software coordinates people in the physical world, riders, couriers, technicians and sellers, on cheap phones and busy roads, and the backend has to cope with status updates that arrive late, twice or out of order. Many of them are now past the stage of growth at any cost and into the stage of unit economics, which turns engineering questions into money questions: what does each order cost to serve, and which part of the cloud bill is paying for nothing.
Companies that sell to government need software shaped like the organisation it serves. Access follows the organisation chart: a district sees its own records, a state sees its districts, a ministry sees all of them, and every approval has a proposer and an approver. Noida's healthcare technology companies need something similar for hospital customers abroad, with each customer's data kept firmly apart. Across all three cities the hiring market is crowded. The consumer companies, the multinationals and the IT services firms compete for the same senior engineers, so a defined piece of work often waits months for someone to own it.
We are in Bengaluru and share your time zone, so the working day is the same on both sides, and a problem raised in the morning gets a response that morning. You talk directly to the engineer who writes the code. Most of the work happens in your repository and a shared chat channel, and the decisions, runbooks and architecture notes are written down as we go for everyone who was not on the call.
We are the right fit when an NCR team needs senior capacity quickly: a defined build, a backend that has to stop losing orders, or the months while your permanent hire works out their notice. Start with a fixed-price two-week piece and judge us on what ships. Agencies and IT services firms can bring us in white-label under their name.
Four ways this arrives.
And crashes on the ones your users own. We add crash reporting with readable stack traces, find the handful of devices and OS versions causing most of the crashes, and fix those before anyone touches a feature.
Signing keys on a laptop, a manual build, store notes written at midnight. We move builds and signing into CI, add over-the-air updates for JavaScript-only fixes, and write down exactly how a release goes out.
A Bluetooth device, a vendor SDK, a camera pipeline, a background task the OS keeps killing. We write the native module in Swift and Kotlin, expose a small typed interface to React Native, and keep it isolated so upgrades stay possible.
Forms that vanish, actions that send twice. We decide what must work offline, keep it on the device, queue writes with idempotency keys the backend understands, and show the user plainly what is still waiting to sync.
Our own React Native app on Android, with retraction built into the client because moderation can pull a message after it has been sent.

How do you work with teams in Delhi NCR?+
We are in Bengaluru and share your time zone, so calls, reviews and releases happen inside your normal working day, whether you are in Gurugram, Noida or Delhi. We work in your tools, Slack, GitHub and Linear or whatever your team already uses. You talk directly to the engineer writing the code, from the first 30-minute call onwards, and the decisions, runbooks and architecture notes are written down in your repository as we go.
Do you build for delivery and logistics companies?+
Yes. We build the systems that coordinate riders, couriers and technicians: order and shipment state that stays correct when events arrive late, twice or out of order, partner apps that keep working offline and upload proof of delivery when the network returns, and reconciliation that catches what still slips through. We also build the data pipelines that finally give everyone one answer to what an order costs to serve.
How does your rate compare to hiring in Delhi NCR?+
PayScale puts a mid-career software engineer in Gurugram at about ₹16 lakh a year. Our published rate is $35 an hour, with a $5,000 minimum. That buys a senior engineer who writes the code, works in your Slack, GitHub and Linear, and starts within days, with no recruiting round, notice period or employment overhead. Begin with a fixed-price two-week piece at $2,800 and judge us on what ships.
Can you take over a platform another team built?+
Yes, and it is a common way in. We start by reading the code and writing down what it actually does: the services, the background jobs, the parts only one person understood. The fixed-price two-week piece is usually the failure that costs you most, fixed and documented. At the end you have working code, a map of the system and a written plan for what comes next, all in your repository.
React Native or fully native?+
React Native for most products: one codebase, one team, both stores. Fully native makes sense when the app is mostly the hard native part, such as heavy camera or audio processing, complex background work, or a platform feature React Native does not support yet. We will tell you which side of that line you are on, and write the native parts by hand either way.
Expo or bare React Native?+
Expo, in almost every case now. Development builds and config plugins removed most of the old reasons to eject, and EAS handles builds and signing. We go bare only when a native dependency genuinely cannot live inside a config plugin, and we will explain why before doing it, because it makes every future upgrade more work.
Can you take over an app someone else built?+
Yes. We start by getting it to build on a clean machine, which is often the hardest step, then bring React Native and its dependencies up to a supported version before adding features. We tell you what state the app is in, including where the store listings, signing keys and accounts actually live, before quoting anything larger.
Who handles App Store and Play Store submission?+
We do, from your developer accounts, not ours. We prepare the builds, the privacy disclosures and the notes for the reviewer, and deal with rejections when they come. The accounts, signing keys and listings stay in your name, so you can change developers later without asking anyone's permission.
Does our backend need to change for a mobile app?+
Often, a little. A mobile client stays on old versions for months, retries on bad networks, and cannot be fixed by a server deploy. That means versioned endpoints, idempotent writes, and a way to tell an old client it must update. We check the backend for those before the first screen is built, because retrofitting them after launch is slower.
