App & web development
in Pune.
Mojo Studio builds mobile apps, web platforms, and AI products for founders and businesses in Pune. Senior engineers only, weekly demos, full IP ownership.
I know you want to build something in Pune.
There are 10 lakh+ agencies, 5 crore+ vibe coders, and 1 crore+ developers out there right now. You found this page anyway. That's not an accident, we're still the best of all of them at what we do.

We're Sachin and Arjav. We started this studio together, and we still personally work on every project that comes in. When you reach out, it's one of us who replies, not a support team. And we'll say it straight: bring us your toughest deadline or the idea three other agencies said no to, that's exactly where we do our best work. We're Indian founders too, so don't stress about the budget upfront, tell us what you've got on a call and we'll figure out what fits.
We understand
this market.
Pune combines a dense engineering-college base, COEP, VIT, and the Savitribai Phule Pune University network, with a mature IT-services and automotive-manufacturing economy anchored by Hinjewadi's IT parks and the Pimpri-Chinchwad auto-component belt (Bajaj Auto, Tata Motors, Force Motors all run plants nearby). It functions as a lower-cost overflow hub for Mumbai-headquartered companies that want proximity without Mumbai rents, and its fintech and healthtech product-startup scene has matured enough that demand for senior mobile and web engineers is genuinely local rather than purely outsourced services work. Persistent Systems and other homegrown IT firms give the city an unusually large pool of engineers who've cycled out of services companies into product roles, which shapes what clients expect from a build partner.
What Drives Digital Demand Here
What does "going digital" actually mean for a business in it services & global capability centres (hinjewadi), automotive & auto-component manufacturing, fintech & healthtech startups, and education technology? Usually it is something narrower and more urgent than the buzzword suggests. A spreadsheet process that is breaking under real volume. A customer gap that competitors have already closed. A team spending hours a week on something a proper system could handle in minutes. Pune's mix of it services & global capability centres (hinjewadi), automotive & auto-component manufacturing, fintech & healthtech startups, and education technology means we have seen enough of these exact problems to spot the pattern quickly, instead of starting from zero every time. The tech stack matters far less than correctly finding which workflow is actually costing you money or time right now.
Which Services Actually Fit
The services that actually help a Pune business rarely match what that business first asks for. A founder might come to us wanting "an app" when what they really need is a faster internal process. Or they might want a full platform rebuild when a focused fix would solve most of the problem for far less money. This is especially true across it services & global capability centres (hinjewadi), automotive & auto-component manufacturing, fintech & healthtech startups, and education technology, where old processes and modern customer expectations often pull in opposite directions. Our job in the first conversation is less about pitching what we offer, and more about listening closely enough to push back on scope that does not actually serve your goal.
Local Vendor vs. Remote Studio
Hiring locally in Pune feels lower risk on paper. You can meet the team in person and settle disagreements without a screen in between. That instinct is not wrong, but it is not the whole picture either. A local shop's biggest advantage, being close by, matters most in the first meeting and least in the months of actual work that follow. What really counts then is whether you get honest weekly progress and engineers who understand the problem, not just a spec. Remote teams that are well structured close this gap by making communication a deliberate part of the process, recorded demos, written scope, clear response times that do not depend on a specific building.
How We Scope And Build It
For Pune-based clients, the process starts the same way no matter the industry, a founder workshop where we push on the idea until the real MVP, not the wishlist version, becomes clear. That session alone usually cuts the initial scope by a third, once features that sound good in a pitch but are not needed by early users get set aside for later. From there, work happens in weekly sprints, each ending in a working demo you can click through yourself, not a status update read off a slide. Nothing gets built quietly for a month and revealed at the end. If priorities shift mid-build, and for Pune businesses in it services & global capability centres (hinjewadi), automotive & auto-component manufacturing, fintech & healthtech startups, and education technology they often do, we adjust the next sprint instead of sticking to a plan that no longer fits.
What This Typically Costs
Budget conversations work best when they start with the actual problem, not a price list, and that is true whether you are in Pune or anywhere else. What we can tell you upfront is that complexity, not location, moves the number, how much custom logic is needed, how many integrations, how polished the first release needs to be. Businesses across it services & global capability centres (hinjewadi), automotive & auto-component manufacturing, fintech & healthtech startups, and education technology come to this from very different starting points, which is exactly why a single published range would end up too vague to plan around. We would rather spend thirty minutes understanding what you actually want to build, and give you a grounded estimate based on that, for free.
From brief to live product.
A five-phase delivery system that ensures your product ships fast, right, and built to scale.
Getting Started
Getting started does not need a finished spec or a big upfront commitment, just a conversation about what your Pune business actually needs. Bring whatever you have, a rough idea, a broken process you are trying to fix, or examples of what you do and do not like from competitors. We will ask questions that help clarify scope rather than expecting you to arrive with every answer. From there, if it is a good fit on both sides, you get a written proposal covering what gets built first, a realistic timeline, and clear pricing. Once that is agreed, the founder workshop happens next, where the real scoping gets locked down before any code is written.
It is worth being upfront that "serving Pune" does not mean only serving businesses with a Pune address. In practice, a good share of our work comes from the wider region around it, Mumbai, Nashik, and Kolhapur included, because the way we deliver does not require anyone to be in a specific building. A founder in a neighboring town gets exactly the same founder workshop, the same weekly demo cadence, and the same pricing as one based in Pune proper. So if you are nearby rather than exactly in Pune, that is not a mismatch, it is simply the normal case.
Why Founders Choose Us
Founders in Pune who have been burned by a previous build tend to ask sharper questions the second time around, and the answers usually come down to three things. First, every engineer on your project is senior, no junior staff quietly learning on your budget while a lead handles the calls. Second, you own the code, the IP, and everything built, outright, with no confusing clause buried in a contract. Third, you see the actual product every week through a working demo, not a status report written to sound reassuring. None of these are unusual promises, but they are exactly the things that go missing when a build goes wrong.
Every point on this page eventually has to meet your actual project to be useful, so bring it to us. Tell us what you are building in Pune, or what is broken in how things run right now, and we will give you a straight read, real scope, real cost, real timeline. No sales script. If it is not a fit, we will tell you plainly. If it is, you will leave that first call with an actual next step, not another vague quote to file away.
