Quick answer
Which Indian company can build an AI-powered mobile app for my business in Saudi Arabia, and what does it cost?
Mana Studio builds Android and iOS apps for Indian-owned businesses and founders in Saudi Arabia, from one React Native codebase, with optional AI features such as an assistant that answers customers from your own price list or documents read from a photo. An MVP of up to 10 screens starts from $1,049 and typically takes 6–10 weeks. It starts with a free 30-minute meeting, followed by a fixed quotation within 2 hours of the meeting, in US dollars. Mana Studio is a remote team based in Warangal, Telangana, India, with no office in Saudi Arabia, and works in English, Telugu and Hindi. The source code, the App Store and Play Store listings and the cloud accounts belong to you, registered to your own business entity, and your adviser confirms what that entity must be.

City pages for Indians in Saudi Arabia
What a Saudi app has to get right
An app built for India does not carry over unchanged. In Saudi Arabia the national debit scheme is mada, run under the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) framework, and the Saudi Central Bank has also announced wallets such as Samsung Pay and Google Pay on that network. UPI and Razorpay do not apply, so the payment methods are chosen with your bank or gateway before the build starts. Each provider sets its own fees and approval steps.
Customers expect Arabic first and English second, so the layout is built to mirror right to left, and dates can be shown in the Hijri calendar next to the Gregorian one where your business uses them.
- mada cards and the wallets your payment provider supports
- Arabic and English in one app, mirrored for right-to-left reading
- Hijri and Gregorian dates where your customers use both
- Receipts and invoices laid out to the format your accountant asks for
Privacy law and e-invoicing: what to ask about
Two rules affect most business apps. The Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), issued by Royal Decree in 2021 and supervised by the Saudi Data and AI Authority (SDAIA), sets out how customers' personal data is collected, used and shared. We build with it in mind: only the data the app needs, clear consent screens, and an export and delete path for each user. Whether your app needs more than that is a question for your own lawyer.
Businesses that issue tax invoices also deal with the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) and its e-invoicing system, called Fatoora. If your app generates invoices, we can structure the data so your accountant or your invoicing provider can connect to it. We do not give tax advice, and your accountant confirms what applies to your business.
Working across the border
The Saudi working week runs Sunday to Thursday, which is also the Indian Embassy's schedule in Riyadh, and India is 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of Saudi Arabia all year, because Saudi Arabia does not use daylight saving. A 10:00 am call for you is 12:30 pm in India. Calls are on video or WhatsApp, and you install a staging build on your own phone each week.
Who may hold a business or an app-store account in Saudi Arabia is a legal question for you and your adviser, and we do not advise on it. What we do is register the Apple and Google developer accounts and the cloud accounts to your own entity, so that the entity your adviser confirms is the one that owns the app.
AI that removes manual work
AI is optional. These are the add-ons that pay for themselves by taking a repeated manual job off someone's desk.
A bilingual assistant for price and stock questions
Today: Staff reply on WhatsApp all day to the same questions about prices, availability and delivery, in Arabic, English and Hindi.
With automation: An in-app assistant answers from your own price list in the language the customer writes in, and passes the chat to a person when it is unsure.
Identity and company documents read from a photo
Today: Someone types each customer's or employee's name and ID number from a photo of the document into a spreadsheet.
With automation: The app reads the photo, fills the fields in Arabic and English, and a person only checks and approves them.
Orders taken over WhatsApp
Today: Repeat customers send orders as free text and voice notes, and one person copies them into the order sheet.
With automation: The order is recognised from the message, matched to your item list, and appears in the admin panel for confirmation.
