Client results
Our case studies
An offshore team is only as good as the software it has shipped. Ours built ordering apps that grew a distributor’s revenue 30%, a manufacturer’s website that tripled its website orders and a SaaS product in production since 2022.

You work directly with our engineers, designers and QA in Goa, India, not with a chain of account managers.
Why Companies Build Software Offshore in India
India has one of the largest pools of software engineers in the world, English as the working language of its tech industry and a long record of building software for companies abroad. For a growing company that means senior engineers without the cost and wait of hiring them locally.
The risk is the partner, not the country. Offshore projects go wrong when the client never meets the people writing the code, the code lives on someone else’s server or nobody owns delivery. The rest of this page is how we avoid each of those.
What You Get With Zunderdog

You speak with our founder, Zubin Souza, before anything is signed. His 15+ years include the eBay-PayPal demerger and Freshworks ahead of India’s first SaaS IPO on NASDAQ.
Engineers who run their own product
Our team built ZunderFlow and has kept it running for 50+ businesses since 2022. Your software is built by people who know what happens after launch.
Your code, in your repositories
We work in your own repositories from day one. You get full ownership of the source code we write for you.
Direct access to the team
You talk to the engineers building your product in your own tools and channels, not to an account manager relaying messages.

Recognised in India’s startup ecosystem
Recognised by Startup India and part of NASSCOM 10,000 Startups.
Working With an Offshore Team in India From Your Time Zone
India runs on India Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30) all year, with no daylight saving. The table shows what 9:00 am in your city is in India and how many hours a 9:00 am to 6:00 pm working day in your city shares with India. Where clocks change, the first figure applies while your city is on daylight saving time and the one in brackets for the rest of the year.
Europe, the Gulf and Asia-Pacific share several working hours with India. The US doesn’t share office hours with India. We agree a daily call at the start of your day and the work carries on while you sleep.

Ways to Work With an Offshore Team
| Model | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Dedicated team | Engineers who work only on your product, on your roadmap and cadence, for as long as you need them | Products that keep evolving after launch |
| Fixed-scope project | A defined app, platform or website, scoped, priced and delivered end to end by our team | An MVP, a new build or a rebuild with a clear brief |
| Staff augmentation | Senior engineers who join your existing team and work in your process | Teams that need extra capacity or a skill they don’t have in-house |
How an Offshore Engagement Starts
| Step | What happens | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Call with the founder | We talk through your product, your stack, your time zone and what you need built | An honest view of whether offshore suits this work and which model fits |
| 2. Proposal | The roles, seniority, shared working hours and how we report progress | A written proposal and a quote, free of charge |
| 3. Onboarding | Access to your repositories and tools and a walkthrough of your product and codebase | A team that understands your product before it writes code |
| 4. Sprints | Planning, regular updates, demos and releases on a cadence agreed with you | Working software you can click through, in your repositories |
Questions to Ask Any Offshore Partner in India
Can I meet the people who will write my code?
Not a sales team or a bench. The engineers, before you sign.
What do you have running in production?
Software you can use today, not only screenshots and slide decks.
Where will the code live and who owns it?
It should be in your repositories from the first commit, with ownership written into the contract.
What happens if an engineer leaves?
Ask how knowledge is shared across the team and how a replacement is brought up to speed.

Frequently Asked Questions

You do. The code lives in your repositories from the first commit. You get full ownership of the source code we write for you.
It depends on the number of engineers, their seniority and the mix of skills. For a fixed project it depends on the scope. We send a written proposal and quote after the first call. Quotes are free.
Yes. You can start with one fixed-scope project or one or two engineers and grow the team once you’ve seen how we work.
