Mobile App 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 Mobile App Development
We build cross-platform apps in Flutter and React Native, wire up the backend, push, and offline sync, and hand them to the App Store and Play Console for you. A senior team in Noida, flat quotes, and a written scope before any code.
What the engagement includes
- Senior engineers on your app from day one. No junior offshore team behind an account manager, no handoff after you sign.
- Direct access to the people writing the code. You talk to the developer, not a layer that relays your questions and loses half of them.
- Both app stores handled end to end, including signing, listings, and the review process, so you are not learning Play Console under deadline.
- Flat INR quotes against a written scope, turned around in 24 hours. We can invoice in USD to a foreign parent entity if you need that.
- 70 plus projects shipped for clients in India, the USA, Canada, the UK, and the UAE, so this is not our first launch.
- Honest scoping. If you need one app and not three, or a web app instead of a native one, we will tell you before you spend.
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.
Jai Shri Balaji Store
A customer app on iOS and Android and a driver app on Android, both Flutter, shipped together on one backend, with the store itself run from a web admin rather than a third app it did not need.

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.
Mobile App Development: common questions
Flutter or React Native, which one should I pick?
Flutter if your UI is custom and you want it to look and behave identically on iOS and Android from one codebase; it is what we used for both Jai Shri Balaji apps. React Native if you already have a React web team or depend on JavaScript libraries, because the skills and some code transfer. For most first apps we lean Flutter. On our call we pick based on your team and your UI, not a house preference.
Do you build native iOS and Android, or only cross-platform?
We build cross-platform in Flutter or React Native, which compile to real native iOS and Android apps from a single codebase. For the vast majority of business apps that is the right call: one team, one codebase, both platforms, lower cost. We are not the right studio if you specifically need fully separate Swift and Kotlin native codebases or a heavy native game engine.
Do you handle App Store and Play Console submission?
Yes, end to end. That includes developer account setup if you do not have one, app signing, store listings, screenshots, privacy and data-safety declarations, and the review back-and-forth with Apple and Google. First submissions often get bounced for small reasons, and we handle that so your launch does not slip.
How much does a mobile app cost?
A flat quote against a written scope, never an hourly meter. Send us the brief, we write the scope, and you get back one flat INR number, with the exact figure inside 24 hours. If you have a foreign parent company, we can invoice that entity in USD. What moves the number is how many screens, integrations, and platforms you actually need, not a clock.
How long does it take to build an app?
It depends on the build, so the real timeline goes in the written scope rather than a stock number here. We work in short sprints with a working build at the end of each, so you see progress the whole way instead of waiting months for a big reveal. The backend and the integrations, not the number of screens, are what move a timeline most.
