According to well known business reports, data-aggregating websites like Crunchbase or EasyLeadz, an India based data aggregator, the total number of estimated software development companies in the country is anywhere between 40,000-50,000 across sizes.

While these statistics may include micro-enterprises and extremely small freelancing teams, the sheer industry is quite fragmented and seeking RFQs from such a large market can get tricky.

Nasscom, the apex association for software development companies in India has more than 3000+ registered members alone, which goes to show the size of the market that one has to filter through.

So it's a good idea to somewhat familiarize yourself with a few names and also understand the strengths, clientele, which part of India they are based in and the team-size of a few of these companies in India.

We will be segregating the software companies by size, since the medium to small sized IT companies is generally more relevant than the larger, multi-billion dollar software companies, who are generally more picky with their clientele.

We'll also be attaching a downloadable excel spreadsheet at the end of this article so you can access the full list of software companies in India by their strengths.

WpwebInfotech

Founded in 2017 by Mr Jigar Shah, mentions on the internet generally mentions the company as a US-based firm. Although this may be partly true, the company's DNA is largely Indian and most of its active employees are based out of India itself

The company is well known for its cost-effective alternatives when it comes to building websites, e-commerce solutions, plugins, rudimentary mobile applications and high-level automations.

Think of it as a go-to-market digital transformation specialist for small and medium enterprises. The company's laser focus on value-led software solutions generally results in clients having to spend only a fraction of the estimated development costs.

For instance, instead of building a large custom website on Angular, Vue, Nuxt, Next or Laravel, the company will leverage off-the-shelf solutions with Wordpress, Woo-Commerce and open-source plugins.

Although there are several drawbacks to this approach, smaller and mid-size firms generally can make do with these solutions, especially in the initial days of the pilot experiments and this approach has given WPwebinfotech a unique edge in this space.

We recommend all out inbound enquiries, especially those who are cost-sensitive and are generally in the pilot phases of their testing to check out Wpwebinfotech's services.

Headquarters: Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India

Leadership: Jigar Shah (Founder, CEO)

Expertise: PHP development, wordpress, woocommerce, shopify, magento, digital and social media marketing
