Software Development Company in India, Run by Senior Engineers
We are a small, senior software studio in Noida, Delhi NCR building custom software, web apps, SaaS products, and mobile apps for companies in India and abroad. You work directly with the engineers writing your code, not an account manager or an offshore team you never meet.
A senior software development company, not a 200-seat body shop
buildbyRaviRai is a software development company based in Noida, Sector 62, in Delhi NCR. We started in 2021 and have shipped 56+ projects for clients in India, the United States, Canada, the UK, and the UAE. We are small on purpose. The team is founder and lead developer Ravi Rai plus a project manager, a designer, and an SEO specialist, so when you hire us you get senior engineers on your project and no account-manager layer between you and the people writing your code.
People find this page searching for a software development company, a software development company in India, or how to hire a software development company. All three come down to the same question: who is actually going to build this, and can you trust them to finish it. With us the answer is a named team you talk to directly. There is no offshore handoff, and no junior developers quietly swapped in after the sales call.
We build custom software, web applications, SaaS products, mobile apps, e-commerce stores, and the backend and product engineering that sits under all of it. The stack we run in production is Next.js, React, Node.js, and TypeScript on the front, with Laravel and PHP where they fit, PostgreSQL or MongoDB for data, Shopify and WordPress for commerce and content, Flutter and React Native for mobile, and AWS for hosting. We pick the proven tool for the job rather than whatever is trending this quarter.
What we build
Six things make up most of our work. Every one ships on the stack above, with a written scope and a flat INR quote before any code.
Internal tools, dashboards, CRMs, admin panels, and line-of-business apps built around how your team actually works, not a template you bend to fit. Node.js or Laravel on the backend, React or Next.js on the front.
Customer portals, booking and quoting systems, marketplaces, and data-heavy apps on Next.js and React with a Node or Laravel API and PostgreSQL. Fast, indexable, and built to hold up as usage grows.
Multi-tenant products with auth, billing, roles, and dashboards. We have taken SaaS builds from an empty repo to a live MVP, and we ship our own products too, so we know where these break in real use.
iOS and Android from one Flutter or React Native codebase, plus the APIs and admin behind them. For Jai Shri Balaji Store we built a customer app and a separate delivery driver app.
Shopify builds, custom storefronts, and full order-and-delivery systems with payment gateways like Razorpay. We built the customer web store, customer app, and driver app for an online grocery business.
Ongoing engineering for a live product: new features, performance work, third-party integrations, and the unglamorous maintenance that keeps it running. Senior help without hiring a full in-house team.
Ways to hire us
Most software work does not fit one billing shape, so we run three engagement models and pick the one that suits your project.
Fixed-scope project. You have a defined build: a website, an app, a product MVP. We write the scope, quote a flat INR number, and deliver against milestones, usually kickoff, a mid-build demo, and handover. You know the price before we start, and it does not move unless the scope does. Quote turnaround is 24 hours.
Ongoing engagement for a live product. You have something live that needs continuing engineering, and you want the same team to stay on rather than rebuild context every time. We keep working on it month to month as a retainer, on new features and maintenance as they come up. This suits product engineering and a rolling roadmap, without you hiring a full in-house team.
Senior help by the month, staff-augmentation style. You already have a team and a codebase and need an extra senior pair of hands who can read your repo and ship, not a junior you have to manage. We plug into your tools and standups for a defined period. This is not a body shop model: you get the same small senior team, not a rotating bench of contractors.
Across all three we quote in flat INR against a written scope, with the exact number back in 24 hours. If you are a foreign parent company, we can invoice in USD to your entity. Pricing sits on our pricing page, and there is no per-hour meter running quietly in the background.
Hire a software development company without hiring a body shop
A body shop sells you seats and bills by the head. You talk to a salesperson, sign, then meet the developers for the first time on a call where nobody can answer a technical question. Here is how we are different.
- You talk to the engineers building your software, directly. No account manager relaying messages, no offshore team you never meet.
- A written scope before any code, and a flat INR quote inside 24 hours, so the price is set before we start.
- Senior developers on your project from day one. We do not sell junior time at senior rates or swap people in after the sale.
- You own your code, your repo, and your hosting. Nothing is locked to us, and you can walk with everything at any point.
- Small team, direct access. When something breaks a year later, you message the people who built it, not a ticket queue.
- Proof we build real things: our own products PlugEV (an OCPP EV-charging platform), CloudNX (cloud hosting), and ToolKiya (online tools), plus 56+ client projects shipped.
How a project runs
Four stages from first message to live software. You see progress the whole way, not a black box for eight weeks.
We talk through what you are building, what it has to do, and your budget. Within 24 hours you get a written scope and a flat INR quote. No obligation, no sales deck.
Our designer maps the screens and flows that matter. You approve the design before we write production code, so the shape is agreed early.
We build in short cycles with regular demos on a live URL. You see real, working software as it comes together and can course-correct while it is still cheap to.
We ship to production, hand over full access to code and hosting, and stay on for maintenance or a retainer if you want ongoing engineering.
Where we work, and what we don't do
We are in Noida, Sector 62, and meet clients in person across Delhi NCR, including Delhi, Gurgaon, and Noida itself. Most work is delivered remotely, and we work with clients in India and abroad, in the United States, the UK, Canada, and the UAE. Timezone gaps have not been a problem. We run on written scopes, recorded demos, and clear weekly updates, so you are never stuck waiting on a handoff.
The work is real. For Jai Shri Balaji Store, an online grocery business, we built the customer web store, a customer mobile app, and a separate delivery driver app with Razorpay payments, and the operation scaled from around 30 to 150+ orders a day. We have also built for NCR Law Associate, Foundry by Quantum, and Telprix, a healthcare price-comparison product. There is more on our case studies and portfolio pages.
We are honest about our limits. We are not a giant staffing vendor, so if you need forty developers on site next Monday, we are the wrong call. We do not take on core lending-license platform engineering or other heavily regulated financial-license builds. And if a template, a no-code tool, or a smaller build is the smarter spend for your stage, we will tell you that instead of selling you a custom project you do not need yet.
Frequently asked questions
What does a software development company actually do?
It designs, builds, and maintains software for other businesses: custom apps, web and SaaS products, mobile apps, e-commerce, and the backends behind them. A good one also handles scope, design, hosting, and support so you are not stitching freelancers together. buildbyRaviRai does all of that with a small senior team out of Noida, for clients in India and abroad.
How do I hire a software development company in India without getting a body shop?
Ask who writes the code and insist on talking to them before you sign. Ask for a written scope and a fixed price, not an open hourly meter. Ask whether the seniors on the sales call are the ones who will actually build it. With us you get direct access to the engineers, a flat INR quote in 24 hours, and the same small team from scope to launch.
How much does custom software development cost in India?
It depends on scope, so we do not publish one-size ranges that fall apart on contact with a real brief. We write the scope down, quote one flat INR number against it, and get you the exact figure back within 24 hours. There are no surprise invoices and no per-hour meter. If you are a foreign parent company, we can invoice in USD to your entity. Our pricing page has more detail.
What is your team size, and who works on my project?
We are small on purpose. The team is founder and lead developer Ravi Rai plus a project manager, a designer, and an SEO specialist. Senior engineers do the work, you talk to them directly, and nobody is swapped for a junior after the sale. If a project needs more hands than we can staff well, we tell you that up front.
Do you work with international clients and invoice in USD?
Yes. We work with clients in India and abroad, in the US, UK, Canada, and the UAE. We work remotely on written scopes and regular demos, so timezones have not been an issue. We quote in flat INR and can invoice in USD to a foreign parent entity if that is easier for your accounting.
Can you join our existing team and codebase instead of building from scratch?
Yes. That is our senior-help engagement: we read your repo, work on your tools and standups, and ship alongside your team for a defined period. It is staff-augmentation style but not a body shop. You get the same senior people, not a rotating bench, and we will tell you honestly if your codebase needs cleanup before we pile new features on top.
What technologies do you build on?
In production we use Next.js, React, Node.js, and TypeScript, with Laravel and PHP where they fit, PostgreSQL and MongoDB for data, Shopify and WordPress for commerce and content, Flutter and React Native for mobile, and AWS for hosting. We choose the proven tool for the job rather than the newest one.
What kind of work do you not take on?
We are not a large staffing vendor, so we cannot drop forty developers on site next week. We do not do core lending-license platform engineering or other heavily regulated financial-license builds. And if a template or a smaller build fits your stage better than custom software, we will say so rather than overselling you.
