A named delivery lead owns it from start to handover, and the senior engineer who scoped the work stays involved.

- Question 3
How will I see progress?
Work is tracked in Jira, and each sprint ends with a demo where you give feedback.
- Question 4
What is signed before I share details?
A mutual NDA, signed before you share the details of your project.
- Question 5
Which hours will the team work?
We deliver from India and agree a communication window that suits your time zone at the start.
- Question 6
Can the arrangement change as I grow?
There are three engagement models, project delivery, dedicated team and team extension, and team size can change with terms agreed in the scope.

An India-Based Team or a Local Agency?
Both can deliver good software. The better fit depends on how much in-person contact you need and how much capacity you want to add.
An India-based team is usually the better fit when
- You need to add capacity to your own team
- Video calls work for your reviews
- You want a delivery lead to run the work
- Your needs change in size over time
| Consideration | India-based team | Local agency |
|---|---|---|
| In-person meetings | By arrangement | Easy, same city |
| Time-zone overlap | Agreed window, shorter shared day | Full shared working day |
| Scaling the team | Team size can change with scope | Depends on local availability |
| Spend for the same team | Usually a different cost structure | Local market rates |
| Ownership of the code | Set in the contract | Set in the contract |
| Familiarity with your local market | Learned in discovery | Often already known |
