Quick answer

Which Indian company can build an AI-powered mobile app for my business in the USA, and how much does it cost?

Mana Studio builds iOS and Android apps for Indian-owned businesses and founders across the United States, from one React Native codebase, with optional AI features such as an assistant that answers customers from the business's own menu or price list, forms and documents read from a photo, and voice notes turned into records. An MVP of up to 10 screens starts from $1,049 and typically takes 6–10 weeks; a full product with payments, user roles and an admin dashboard starts from $1,999. It starts with a free 30-minute meeting in English, Telugu or Hindi, booked in the US morning, followed by a fixed quotation within 2 hours of the meeting. Mana Studio is a remote team based in Warangal, Telangana, India, with no office in the US. Source code, App Store and Play Store listings and cloud accounts are registered to the client's own company.

The US metros with the largest Telugu and Hindi-speaking communities

Telugu is the fastest-growing language in the United States — from roughly 320,000 speakers in 2016 to about 1.23 million in 2024. Telugu and Hindi-speaking owners run businesses that serve their own community and everyone around it.

Each metro below has its own page on this site, covering its suburbs and community organisations. Those pages are written for website and marketing work, and the same team builds the apps.

  • Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas
  • Central New Jersey, New Jersey
  • San Francisco Bay Area, California
  • Atlanta, Georgia
  • Chicago, Illinois
  • Houston, Texas
  • Seattle, Washington
  • Northern Virginia & DC, Virginia
  • Charlotte, North Carolina
  • Phoenix, Arizona
  • Detroit, Michigan
  • Columbus, Ohio

What a US app needs that an Indian one does not

Most of the difference is in the parts a customer never sees. Decide these before the build starts, and confirm the legal and tax points with your own attorney and accountant.

  • Payments by card gateway, Apple Pay and Google Pay instead of UPI. Apple requires its own in-app purchase for digital content, and a separate payment method for physical goods and services such as a meal, a class or a delivery
  • An Apple developer account in your company's name. Apple asks companies for a D-U-N-S Number registered to the legal entity, so that is requested early
  • Consent before marketing texts. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act and the FCC's rules require prior written consent for advertising texts sent by automated systems
  • Privacy choices built in. California's CCPA gives residents the right to know, delete and opt out, and applies to businesses above its thresholds
  • Receipts that match where you sell. Tax rules vary by state and locality
  • Screens that work with screen readers and larger text sizes

Apps that fit Indian-run businesses in the US

  • Restaurants and tiffin services: direct ordering, catering requests and weekly meal plans
  • Grocery stores and sweet shops: pickup and local delivery orders with festival pre-orders
  • Tutoring centres and weekend language schools: enrolment, class schedules and fee payments
  • Temples and cultural associations: memberships, donations, event registration and announcements
  • Salons, clinics and home-service businesses: booking with automatic reminders
  • Founders with a product idea: an MVP to put in front of first users or investors

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.

Catering enquiries collected without a phone call

Today: Weekend catering and party-order enquiries arrive by call and text in the middle of dinner service, and half are missed or written on a slip.

With automation: An assistant in the app takes the date, headcount and dishes from your own catering menu and hands the owner one complete request to price and confirm.

Enrolment forms read into the class list

Today: Each term, volunteers at a weekend language school or tutoring centre retype paper and PDF registration forms into a spreadsheet.

With automation: The form is photographed or uploaded, the fields are read into the roster, and a volunteer only checks them.

Donation receipts and year-end statements

Today: A temple or association volunteer writes each receipt by hand and compiles every donor's yearly statement in January.

With automation: The app issues the receipt when the payment is made and drafts each donor's yearly statement for a volunteer to review.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from your US app development page?

It is the same team and the same US dollar price list. The US app development page sets out the three packages in full. This page is for Indian-origin owners who would rather discuss the build in Telugu or Hindi.

How much does an app cost for a US business?

An MVP starts from $1,049 and a full product from $1,999, quoted in US dollars against a written scope. An optional care retainer is $249 a month.

When can we meet, given the time difference?

Calls are booked in the US morning, which is the Indian evening. 9:00 am Eastern is 6:30 pm in India during daylight saving time and 7:30 pm in winter; 8:00 am Pacific is 8:30 pm or 9:30 pm.

Do you have an office in the US?

No. Mana Studio is a remote team based in Warangal, Telangana, India. Meetings are on video or phone and everything is delivered online.

Who holds the Apple and Google developer accounts?

Your company does. We walk you through enrolment, including the D-U-N-S Number Apple asks companies for, and publish the app from your account.

Can the app be in Telugu or Hindi as well as English?

Yes. One app can carry several languages and each user picks theirs.

Will you sign an NDA?

Yes, before the first detailed conversation if you want one. Send yours or use ours.
