5 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Software Development Company in India

Before you hire a software development company in India, ask these five questions. They help you avoid mismatches and pick a partner that can deliver for your USA or Canada business.

Ask for 2–3 projects that are similar in size and tech (e.g. SaaS backend, mobile app, WordPress). Request contact details of past clients and actually talk to them. Ask about communication, timelines, and post-launch support. If they cannot provide references, treat that as a red flag.

India is roughly 9–12 hours ahead of US time zones. Ask how they manage overlap (e.g. US morning calls), response times (e.g. within 24 hours), and tools (Slack, email, weekly syncs). You want a single point of contact and clear escalation. At Hendoi we align on overlap and document it in the SOW.

Understand how they quote: fixed price with a clear SOW, or time & materials. Ask how they handle change requests and scope creep. You want transparency on milestones, deliverables, and what happens if you add features mid-project.

Will you get a dedicated team or a rotating pool? Ask for the profile of the lead and developers (experience, stack). You want to know who is accountable and that the same people stay on the project so context is not lost.

Confirm that you own the code and IP. Ask about NDA and data handling. Clarify what support or warranty they offer after go-live (e.g. bug fixes for 30 days, optional retainer). Get this in the contract.
