MVP development from India, shipping to the US.
Bangalore-based, founder-led, building for clients across the US, UK, and worldwide. The cost advantage is real; the usual offshore failure modes are not.
§01
Where we sit.
Both co-founders work from Bangalore. Most of our clients don't: 12 products shipped across three continents, many of them for US businesses. The work is the same wherever the client sits — same staging URL on day one, same Friday demos, same co-founder answering the messages.
§02
What offshore usually gets wrong.
The classic offshore failure isn't skill, it's structure: your project gets a salesperson, then a project manager, then a rotating bench of developers you never meet. Every layer adds delay and subtracts truth. By the time bad news reaches you, it's six weeks old.
We run the opposite structure. The person who scopes your product builds it. There is nobody to rotate, because the founders are the team. We wrote up the honest version of offshoring from India — costs, failure modes, how to vet a team — in our notes, including the parts that don't flatter our industry.
§03
How the overlap works.
India's evening is the US morning. Calls land in that shared window, decisions from your morning are built by the time you wake up next, and the Friday demo happens live, not as a Loom dump. UK founders get an even easier overlap.
Async carries the rest: the staging URL means you review the actual product on your schedule, not screenshots on ours.
§04
The paperwork is real.
Singlebit LLP is a registered Indian limited-liability partnership, LLPIN ACW-3737. Contracts come before code. IP transfers with payment, and the repository lives in your org from launch. Cross-border invoicing is routine — most of our revenue is export.
None of that is remarkable. That it needs saying is a comment on the market, not on us.
Questions founders ask
- Why hire an MVP development company in India?
- Cost, honestly — our band is $15,000 to $60,000 for a build a US agency would price at several times that. The bar doesn't move with the geography; the salaries do.
- How do you handle time zones with US clients?
- India's evening overlaps the US morning; calls and Friday demos land in that window. Everything else runs async against a live staging URL you can review anytime.
- Is my IP protected working with an Indian studio?
- Yes. Singlebit LLP is a registered LLP (LLPIN ACW-3737), contracts are signed before code is written, and IP transfers with payment into a repository your organisation owns.
- How is SingleBit different from a typical offshore dev shop?
- No sales layer, no project managers, no rotating bench. The co-founders scope, build, and answer for the work directly — the structure that kills most offshore projects doesn't exist here.
- What does MVP development cost in India?
- From us: $15,000 to $60,000 in 6 to 16 weeks, fixed scope, milestone billing. Cheaper quotes exist; we've written about why they cost more — a $4,000 build that collapses into a $45,000 rebuild is not cheap, it is deferred.
