Mobile app development in India
A senior Android and React Native developer in Gurugram, billing in rupees
I’m a mobile engineer in Gurugram with 13 years on Android and iOS. I work with Indian startups and product teams to build, rescue or take over their apps: quoted and invoiced in rupees, on IST, and on-site in Delhi NCR when it helps.

Who it’s for
Sounds familiar?
- You need someone senior who owns the app end to end, not a team you have to manage.
- You want quotes and invoices in rupees, and someone who works your hours.
- Your app handles personal data, and you want it designed with India’s DPDP Act in mind.
- Your users need the app in Hindi as well as English.
How I build it
Why teams in India work with me
01
Built for Indian users
HelperBook is built for Indian households: Hindi localisation, salary statements in both English and Hindi, and wage data that never leaves the phone.
02
Proven with Indian brands
The Pulse inspection app I led was used by Indian companies including Rebel Foods, Travel Food Services and Battery Smart, alongside global clients such as Accor and Tim Hortons.
03
Rupees, IST and Delhi NCR
Quotes and invoices in INR, working hours on IST, and on-site meetings in Delhi NCR when a whiteboard beats a call.
04
Built for the phones your users carry
At Retail Quotient I tuned enterprise Android apps for low memory and fast cold start, and kept chart-heavy dashboards responsive on the low-end devices field teams actually carried.
05
DPDP-aware by design
Keeping HelperBook’s wage data on the device keeps it outside data-fiduciary scope under the DPDP Act, and its crash reports carry no names or amounts.

FAQ
Questions clients ask
Do you bill in rupees?
Yes. Indian clients are quoted and invoiced in rupees. Projects start with a paid discovery sprint: a fixed ₹60,000 for about a week, ending in a written plan and estimate.
Can we meet in person?
Yes, in Delhi NCR. I’m based in Gurugram and work on IST. Elsewhere in India we work remotely, with calls whenever they help.
Android, React Native or both platforms?
Whatever your users need first. I’ve shipped native Android and iOS apps, a shared Kotlin Multiplatform data layer and a React Native app, so the choice follows your product rather than what I know.
Are you a freelancer or an agency?
An independent engineer: you work with me directly, from the first call to the release.
