With changing market dynamics and technology being intrinsic to ideas, the majority of Indian startups and marketplace structures today are exclusively relying on their intuitive platforms to deliver innovation to end consumers. It is evident that today’s prominent apps and platforms disrupting the market with their solutions were yesterday’s ideas and the development of such software’s has demanded a high-end technical approach. Usually, such technology-driven platforms may be found with a large technical team with high-end expertise to manage and sustain the platform, needless to mention they might have gone through the same unorganised structural approach of developing the software with local vendors, with extended time delivery and coding hassles to conclude the complete product.
When Indian market is flooded with ideas and businesses trying to bring their ideas to reality, they have no option but to look for somebody with a technical bend and choose for a team locally and rely on their service structures. In such cases, usually, Entrepreneurs with no technical knowledge are the end sufferers as they do not have clearly defined and transparent road to development. In such consultation and delivery modules, businesses usually are unable to provide accurate specifications for their projects causing variations between the expectation and end product. Also, in today’s competitive era when ideas need to be put into reality in real time and confidentiality takes the front stage, unorganised market comes with its own challenges of lifting/leaking/copying the idea or untimely delivery, delaying the whole process, thus wasting time, energy and money for small to medium enterprises.
Such challenges are not new to the Indian software development market as majority of the Indian market is flooded with unorganised vendors or developers posing to be the only option for software development with approx. 97 per cent failure rate. Although, few organised players with defined structural approach have made entry into this sector. The prominent one being Engineer.ai which confirms assembly line delivery for software development transforming traditional model of delivery to a structured transparent module allowing anybody with an idea to develop an app as per his convenience without having to know about coding. The platform further allows anyone to create bespoke software using a drag and drop project builder, artificial intelligence, a library of frequently used features (eg. facebook login), blockchain transparency to ensure trust and delivery and a marketplace of specialized teams from around the world, often available at slack time rates.
While such organised development modules confirm timely delivery to businesses, they bring-in the much-desired transparency for one’s idea and provides the flexibility of adding features as per their own customised approach. Moreover, with such organised entities making an entry into the growing Indian market, startups eying to build apps around new technology innovations including individuals and small enterprises will be end benefiters.
