Software development company in India
Unico Connect is a custom software development company headquartered in Mumbai, with 250+ products shipped across 13+ countries since 2014. We build the platforms, internal systems, integrations, and AI powered products that off the shelf tools cannot. Indian clients get a senior team in the same time zone, a walk in office in Kurla West, GST compliant invoicing in rupees, and published INR estimate ranges before work starts.
The proof is in shipped work. For StayVista, we scaled a vacation rental platform from prototype to 1,000+ properties across 80+ Indian destinations with AI powered recommendations. For a diversified Indian manufacturer, we replaced three fragmented systems with one sales, finance, and inventory platform and reduced reconciliation errors by 30 percent. And for Highlands Community Charter in California, we built a learning platform serving 15,000+ students with a retrieval grounded AI tutor, the same engineering Indian clients get from the same Mumbai team. These are systems that run the business, not brochureware.
A Typical Outsourcing Engagement vs How We Work
Most Indian software shops win on rate cards and staff juniors on delivery. This is what changes when a senior AI native product team in Mumbai does the same work.
Typical Outsourcing Engagement
Rate card first, product later
Quotes built on headcount and hours rather than the outcome, so the estimate says nothing about what actually ships.
Junior hands on senior invoices
The pitch team and the delivery team are rarely the same people, and staffing rotates mid project.
Weeks of documentation before code
Long specification phases push the first working build months out, and changes restart the cycle.
The software without the system around it
Backend, data, and AI features handled by separate vendors, and integration gaps surface late.
Progress reported in meetings
Status decks instead of builds. You hear about progress more often than you can touch it.
How Unico Connect Works (Mumbai HQ, Senior Team)
Published INR estimate ranges
Lakh denominated tiers published on this page, with a clear scope and estimate before work starts.
Senior engineers throughout
The team that scopes your product builds it, from discovery to launch, with AI native delivery on every line.
Working software from the first sprints
A scoped MVP starts within about two weeks and lands on a staging environment you can click through.
The whole system from one team
Backend, web, data, and AI features from a single accountable team, so nothing falls between suppliers.
Same time zone, walk in office
Standups and demos in your working day, and a Mumbai office you can visit for workshops and milestones.

Software Technology We Work With
How We Work With Indian Companies
The model is simple. A Mumbai headquarters you can walk into, and a senior AI native engineering team that works your hours.
- Same city, same time zone. Our headquarters is at Kohinoor City Commercial Complex 1, Kurla West, Mumbai. Discovery workshops, sprint demos, and escalations happen in your working day, in person when you want them.
- GST compliant and rupee billing. Invoicing in INR with GST, on milestone terms for fixed scope work and monthly terms for retainers, so your finance team has clean documentation.
- Security and compliance for India. We operate an ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified information security management system, map the DPDP Act 2023 requirements for personal data during discovery, and sign NDAs before any code is discussed. Full IP assignment on payment.
- AI native delivery. Roughly 80 percent of production code at Unico Connect is AI generated and engineer reviewed, which is why fixed scopes ship in weeks rather than quarters.
What Custom Software Costs in India
Indian market rates for custom software run roughly 5 to 15 lakh rupees for an MVP, 15 to 40 lakh for a medium complexity platform with integrations and an admin panel, and 40 lakh and up for complex or enterprise systems. The wide spread reflects real differences in scope, integrations, and compliance, not padding. We scope a clear estimate against your product before work starts, on fixed scope or retainer terms.
| Tier | Unico Connect estimate range | Timeline | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| MVP | 5 to 15 lakh | 6 to 12 weeks | Core workflow, auth, one or two integrations |
| Growth stage platform | 15 to 40 lakh | 3 to 6 months | Multiple modules, admin panel, integrations, AI features |
| Complex or enterprise | 40 lakh and up | 6 to 12 months | Real time, compliance, heavy integration, high scale |
All prices exclude 18 percent GST. The custom software cost guide has the full breakdown of what moves an estimate up or down.
