Working With Mexilet
How do I know the quality is senior-level?
Because we don't just build software for clients — we build and run our own. Mexilet has been engineering since 2017 and operates eleven live products in production today: BookPropertyVisit, BuildersERP, Real Estate ERP, MyCommunity, MakePropertyVideo, VidyaERP, Ctrl Room, Distributors DMS, ChatInOneAi, and AutoMarketingAi. They span real estate, ERP, community management, AI, video, and FMCG distribution, and cover web, mobile, real-time, and AI workloads. That's our proof: the same senior team that ships and maintains those products is the team you hire.
How quickly can Mexilet start a project?
For staff augmentation or a small dedicated team, we typically start within 1–2 weeks. Larger teams (5+ developers) may take 2–4 weeks for proper vetting, onboarding, and setup. Fixed-price projects begin with a 1-week discovery and scoping phase. Every engagement starts with a free consultation so we can scope the work before you commit.
What engagement models do you offer?
We offer four models: (1) Dedicated Development Team — a full-time team you manage directly, billed monthly per developer. (2) Fixed-Price Project — defined scope, agreed cost, milestone-based payments. (3) Time & Material — flexible scope, pay only for hours worked. (4) Staff Augmentation — individual developers embedded in your existing team. See our Offshore Partner page for full details.
What communication tools and processes do you use?
We integrate into your workflow — Slack, Microsoft Teams, Jira, Trello, Asana, GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. We hold daily standups, weekly sprint reviews, and send monthly progress reports. You have full visibility at all times.
How do you handle time zone differences?
We operate on IST (UTC+5:30), which gives a healthy daily overlap with the UK and Europe (we cover their mornings and our afternoons) and a live window with US East Coast mornings, when our evening team is online. We schedule recurring calls at times that suit your team, flex hours where needed for steady US overlap, and stay responsive on Slack and WhatsApp throughout your working day.
Can I scale the team up or down?
Yes — scaling is one of the key advantages of an offshore model. For dedicated team engagements, you can add or remove developers with 2 weeks' notice. We can scale from 1 developer to a 20+ person team.
What if a developer isn't the right fit?
Just tell us. For dedicated and staff-augmentation engagements, if someone isn't meeting your bar, we'll replace them at no extra cost and manage the handover so your timeline keeps moving. Our monthly per-developer billing means you're never locked into a long contract for a fit that isn't working.
Quality & Process
How do you ensure code quality?
Every project follows mandatory peer code reviews, automated testing (unit, integration, E2E), and a dedicated QA phase before delivery. We use tools like SonarQube, ESLint, and GitHub Actions for CI/CD. Senior engineers review all code before it is delivered to clients.
What is your development methodology?
We follow Agile/Scrum with 2-week sprints. Each sprint begins with planning, ends with a demo and retrospective, and delivers working software. For larger projects we also use SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework). For maintenance/support engagements we use Kanban.
Do you provide post-launch support and maintenance?
Yes. We offer ongoing support and maintenance contracts after project delivery. This includes bug fixes, performance monitoring, security patches, and feature enhancements. Monthly retainer plans start from $500/month depending on the complexity of the system.
Do you sign an NDA before sharing project details?
Absolutely. We sign a mutual NDA before any project discussion begins, so your idea, codebase, and business details stay fully confidential. Full IP assignment is written into every contract — an NDA is signed before work begins, and ownership of the code, designs and infrastructure transfers to you as milestones are paid.
Technology
What technologies does Mexilet specialize in?
We are AI-first: our core work is LLM applications, RAG knowledge systems, AI voice agents, and computer vision (OpenCV, YOLO). Around that we build full-stack web (React, Next.js, Node.js, Python/FastAPI), mobile (Flutter, React Native), ERP (Frappe/ERPNext), and cloud/DevOps (AWS, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes) — the same stack that runs our eleven live products. See our Services page for the full list.
Can you work with our existing codebase?
Yes. We routinely onboard into existing codebases. Our engineers start with a code audit and documentation review, then begin contributing within the first week. We follow your existing conventions and architecture decisions.
Do you build AI-powered applications?
AI is our strongest capability — five of our own eleven live products are AI-native. We build custom applications on frontier LLMs, RAG knowledge systems, AI chatbots and voice agents, computer vision systems, and generative AI tools. Many of our offshore clients specifically come to us for AI development they cannot find locally at an affordable cost.
How much does a WhatsApp bot cost?
WhatsApp bot plans start from ₹1,000 a month (about $12). What you pay above that depends on the flows and integrations you need — you get a fixed quote after a free scoping call. WhatsApp's own per-message fees are billed by Meta and are separate. See WhatsApp bots and WhatsApp menu bots.
Outsourcing & Offshore Development
How much does it cost to outsource software development to India?
Software development in India typically costs $15–$40/hour depending on seniority and technology, compared to $80–$180/hour in the USA or UK. A dedicated developer engagement typically starts at $1,500–$3,500/month. Fixed-price projects range from a few thousand dollars for an MVP to $50,000+ for enterprise platforms.
What is a "backend office" or "offshore development center"?
A backend office (or offshore development center) is a dedicated team in India that works exclusively for your company — functioning as an extension of your in-house team. They use your tools, follow your processes, attend your standups, and report to you directly. Mexilet sets this up for you without requiring you to open a legal entity in India.
Why choose India over other outsourcing destinations like Eastern Europe or the Philippines?
India has one of the world's largest English-speaking engineering workforces, deep specialization in AI/ML, cloud, and enterprise software, and competitive pricing. Eastern Europe offers similar time zones to the UK but at higher cost. The Philippines is strong in customer support but has a smaller engineering talent pool.
Is my intellectual property protected when outsourcing to India?
Yes. Full IP assignment is written into every contract — an NDA is signed before work begins, and ownership of the code, designs and infrastructure transfers to you as milestones are paid. India is also a signatory to international IP treaties (TRIPS, Berne Convention) and has strong IT law enforcement.
What is offshore software development?
Offshore software development means hiring a software company in another country to build and manage your software projects. India is one of the most established offshore destinations thanks to its large English-speaking engineering talent pool and significantly lower engineering costs than Western markets.
