TOP 5 REASONS TO HIRE MOBILE APP DEVELOPERS FROM INDIA
The outsourcing industry is rapidly growing and is constantly evolving with time and India has established itself as the hub of reputed outsourcing companies offering world-class services to global clients. Not only has the trend of offshoring services grown tremendously over the years, but it has also been changing frequently.
In his most recent novel, Origins, Dan Brown states that while the “early Greeks had to look back centuries to study ancient culture …we need to look back only a single generation...” In saying so, he has pointed out at the most apparent but overlooked truth of our times. What was in vogue a year ago, is already obsolete today. In such an atmosphere developing an app becomes a tricky business since the field demands high amounts of skill and technical know-how. Mobile app developers play the central role in making your idea see the day. However, a good app developer comes with a hefty price tag and often has loyalty or stability issues in a highly competitive market. Hence as an aspiring business, it might be a good idea to outsource the work.
While there are a few decent options available while looking to outsource mobile app development, no place is better equipped to handle such projects as India. Let’s see why.
1. India is the IT engine of this world NASSCOM states that India adds around 3 million people to its workforce every year. This has resulted in a workforce which is larger than entire the population of the united states, with a huge section of it being IT professionals. Plus India happens to be the second largest English speaking country in the world. No other country even comes remotely near.
2. Competitive prices Due to a bounty of talent, the Indian worker comes at very competitive rates. Here is a table that you might find useful while comparing pricing. All figures are rates per hour and calculate only the national average. The prices might have higher or lower medians.
As you can clearly see, for the price it takes you to hire some in the US, you can hire almost four mobile app developers in India.
3. Access to Experienced Developers Regarding mobile app developers, India gives you one more edge- experience. Due to the sheer quantum of talent at their disposal, Indian IT companies are spoiled for choices and poaching and attrition rates remain much lower. This means, any virtual employee that you might hire, would bring in a lot of experience and knowledge to the table. They will have the right amount of focus on the UI while implementing UX designs. Mobile app developers in India also have the better understanding of different platforms like Android, iOS, Windows, etc. thanks to working with various clients over their career spans.Â
4. Reduced Risk When you engage a mobile app developer, India becomes a more secure destination for you since there is a much less chance of the developer stealing your idea and launching his/her own app. You are in different markets, and you will enter in binding contracts with the company which employs the developer, who in turn will have safeguards in place protecting your IP. In short, it’s pretty airtight.
5. Work Flexibility Since the outsourcing industry is so big in India, it has spawned a 24/7 work environment. Entire cities almost exclusively cater to IT and ITES. The shining examples are Bangalore and Gurgaon. This means that your organization’s effective working hours increase due to the difference in time zone. If you provide and instruction to your virtual employee today evening, you will end up getting the work completed by next morning. This speeds up the process considerably.

But what about control? Yes, that’s a very valid question. However, organizations in India today let you hire virtual employees in such a manner, that while he/she might be physical present thousands of miles away, he/she can still be monitored robustly and can work like any other employee you might have. While the virtual employee will report directly to you, the hassles of labor laws, HR, medical etc would be taken care of by the Indian company.
The employee can easily be monitored through Skype, screen sharing etc. anytime. So you are still in complete control, minus the hassles. So you see, India is quite ready to power your dreams ahead. With IT being one of the top 5 priorities of the Indian government, and with policies which produce a very congenial environment for IT companies, India unsurprisingly leads the rest of the world, by some and a bit more when it comes to being picked as an outsourcing destination for mobile app development and other services.
