.NET Development in Singapore
We are an Indian engineering team working with businesses in Singapore. Written scope before any code, and a fixed quote in SGD.
Working hours
Our day runs 09:00 to 18:00 India time, which is 11:30 to 20:30 in Singapore, so from late morning onwards we are on the same working day, and anything you raise first thing is picked up by 11:30.
Quoted in SGD
Quotes exclude the 9% GST in Singapore, shown separately on the invoice.
Data protection
Work for this market is scoped against the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA), agreed before development starts rather than retrofitted afterwards.
Written scope
Every engagement starts with a written scope and a fixed SGD 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 Singapore clients
Singapore is the one market we serve where the working day is simply shared. We are two and a half hours behind you and neither country moves its clocks, so our morning starts partway through yours and the whole of your afternoon is live time for both sides. That changes the shape of an engagement more than anything technical does: a call is booked for the same afternoon rather than the same week, a question raised before your lunch is answered after it, and the written-first method we run for North American clients is a courtesy here rather than a necessity. We keep the written record anyway, with a default chosen on every open decision, because it is the thing an auditor or a new hire can read later and a call is not.
Invoicing is worth stating plainly because the GST position confuses buyers on both sides. We are outside Singapore, so no GST appears on our invoice. Whether you account for it yourself is the reverse charge question, and IRAS's own guidance is that a GST-registered business making only taxable supplies is not affected, while a partially exempt one accounts for it in its own return. We quote in Singapore dollars, the figure holds for the project whatever the rupee does, and payment by bank transfer or Wise avoids the card fees a five-figure invoice does not need. The contract can sit under Singapore law with Singapore courts, and unusually among our overseas markets that clause has teeth: Singapore is a reciprocating territory under section 44A of India's Civil Procedure Code, so a judgment of the Singapore High Court can be executed in India directly rather than re-litigated.

How does GST work if you are based in India?
No GST is charged on our invoice, and the invoice says so. Whether you account for it under reverse charge depends on your input tax position: IRAS's guidance is that a GST-registered business making only taxable supplies is not impacted, a partially exempt business or one with non-business receipts accounts for GST on imported services in its own return, and a business that is not registered should ask its accountant, because an exempt business importing more than S$1 million of services in a year can be required to register. We would rather your accountant confirmed your position before the first invoice than reconciled it at year end.
Are you compliant with the PDPA?
We build to it rather than claiming a certificate. The consent, purpose limitation and notification obligations shape the forms and the data model; retention limitation means records are deleted on a schedule rather than kept indefinitely; access and correction requests are features with a queue behind them rather than a manual database job. Processing happens in India, so the transfer limitation obligation applies, and the processor agreement we sign sets out the comparable standard of protection the Act asks for. The obligation to design for early is breach notification: an organisation has three calendar days from determining a breach is notifiable, which means one likely to cause significant harm or one affecting 500 or more people, to tell the PDPC, and answering what was in the breach is only possible if the logging existed beforehand. Appointing a Data Protection Officer is your obligation rather than ours, and we will say so if a design choice would make that person's job harder.
Can we use a PSG or EDG grant to pay for this?
Not PSG. The Productivity Solutions Grant funds pre-scoped packages from pre-approved vendors for Singapore-registered companies, and a custom build from an overseas team is not that shape, so we will not pretend it is. The Enterprise Development Grant is assessed project by project against its own criteria, and whether a build like yours qualifies is a question for Enterprise Singapore or your grant consultant to answer before the scope is written rather than after a budget has assumed it.
We are regulated by MAS. Can you meet the outsourcing requirements?
We can supply what a due-diligence pack asks for, accept audit and access rights in the contract, and name every sub-processor that touches your data. What we will also tell you in the first conversation is what we do not hold: we are not SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified, and our security page says so in those words. Whether an engagement with us is a material outsourcing arrangement under the MAS guidelines, and what that requires of you, is your compliance team's determination, and it changes the contract before it changes the code, so it belongs in week one.
.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.
