.NET Development in the UK
We are an Indian engineering team working with businesses in the UK. Written scope before any code, and a fixed quote in GBP.
Working hours
Our day runs 09:00 to 18:00 India time, which is 03:30 to 12:30 in the UK, or 04:30 to 13:30 while you are on summer time, so most of your morning overlaps with ours.
Quoted in GBP
Quotes exclude the 20% VAT in the UK, shown separately on the invoice.
Data protection
Work for this market is scoped against the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, agreed before development starts rather than retrofitted afterwards.
Written scope
Every engagement starts with a written scope and a fixed GBP quote within 24 hours, so the price is set before work begins.
About .NET Development
We take on .NET builds as a senior engineering service: ASP.NET Core web apps and Web APIs, enterprise backends, and moving legacy .NET Framework code onto a modern, cross-platform stack. It is a newer service line for us, so we will say so plainly. You get senior engineers, a written scope, and a flat quote, and we lean on the API design, testing, CI, and migration work that carries straight over from the rest of what we build.
What the engagement includes
- You already run on Microsoft: SQL Server, Azure, Active Directory, or a team that standardizes on C#. .NET fits that estate with far less friction than bolting on a different runtime.
- You need a fast, strongly typed backend for high-throughput APIs. ASP.NET Core on Kestrel is genuinely quick, and static typing catches a whole class of bugs before they reach production.
- You are modernizing an old .NET Framework or WebForms app and want to stay in the same language and hiring pool instead of rewriting in something unfamiliar to your team.
- Your team hires C# developers and will own the code after us. Handing a Node or Laravel app to a .NET team, or the reverse, is a real long-term cost worth avoiding.
- If none of that is true and you are starting fresh with no Microsoft ties, we will often steer you to Node or Laravel instead, the stacks we run deepest in. Saying that costs us the .NET brief and saves you money, which is the trade we would rather make.
How we work with UK clients
UK engagements tend to start with procurement questions rather than technical ones. Who holds the data, which law governs the contract, whether you can produce a record of processing if the ICO asks. We answer those in the proposal instead of leaving them to a legal review three weeks in, because that review is where UK projects usually stall.
Invoicing is the other thing worth settling early. We are outside the UK, so services we supply generally fall under the reverse charge and your finance team accounts for the VAT rather than paying it to us. Our invoices say so explicitly. We quote in pounds, the figure does not move with the exchange rate mid-project, and payment by bank transfer avoids the card fees that make a five-figure invoice unnecessarily expensive.

How does VAT work if you are based in India?
For most business-to-business services supplied from outside the UK, the reverse charge applies: you account for the VAT in your own return rather than paying it to us, and it is typically neutral if you are fully recoverable. Our invoices state the position clearly so your accountant is not guessing. If your situation is unusual, for example partial exemption, we would rather your accountant confirms the treatment before we invoice than after.
Are you compliant with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018?
We build to it rather than claiming a certificate. In practice that means data minimisation designed in rather than bolted on, a documented lawful basis for each processing activity, retention periods that actually delete, subject access and erasure handled as features rather than manual database work, and hosting in a region you approve. Where we process personal data on your behalf we sign a processor agreement setting out exactly that.
We are a public sector body. Can you meet the accessibility regulations?
Yes, and it is scoped from the start because retrofitting accessibility is considerably more expensive than building it in. We work to WCAG 2.2 AA, test with a screen reader rather than relying on an automated scan, and produce the accessibility statement the regulations require. Automated tools catch perhaps a third of real issues, which is why the manual pass is not optional.
Which law governs the contract, and what about IR35?
We are happy to contract under English law with the courts of England and Wales, and most UK clients prefer that. IR35 does not apply to us: it governs individuals working through an intermediary, and you are engaging a company for a defined deliverable rather than a person for their time. Your accountant will want to see that the contract reflects that, and ours does.
.NET Development: common questions
Do you have .NET case studies?
Not a long one, and we will not pretend otherwise. .NET is a service line we added deliberately. Our shipped work is mostly Next.js, React, Node.js, Laravel, and Flutter across 70+ projects since 2021. What transfers directly to .NET is the part that actually decides a backend: API design, database migrations, testing, CI, and moving legacy systems onto modern stacks. We staff .NET work with senior engineers and price it against a written scope.
What version of .NET do you build on?
Current .NET, which is .NET 8, the long-term-support release, with ASP.NET Core for web apps and APIs and Entity Framework Core for data. It is cross-platform, so it runs on Linux and in containers, not only Windows. If you are on an older .NET Framework 4.x app, we plan a path onto .NET 8 rather than leaving you on a runtime that is winding down.
Can you migrate our old .NET Framework or WebForms app?
Yes, and we do it incrementally so the business keeps running. We audit the existing code, wrap clean API boundaries around it, then move features onto ASP.NET Core one slice at a time, with tests around each, before switching the old path off. A big-bang rewrite that freezes the app for months is how these go wrong, so we avoid it by design.
Should we pick .NET or Node and Laravel for a new backend?
If you already run on Microsoft, SQL Server, or Azure, or your team hires C# developers, .NET is the low-friction choice and we will build it. If you are starting fresh with no Microsoft ties, we will often point you to Node or Laravel, the stacks we run deepest in, because the honest answer serves you better than winning the .NET brief. We talk it through before you commit to either.
Who works on my .NET project?
Senior engineers, directly. We are a small team out of Noida: founder and lead developer Ravi Rai plus a project manager, a designer, and an SEO specialist. You talk to the people writing the code, there is no offshore handoff, and nobody is swapped for a junior after the sale.
