Popular questions
What does AWT do?
Angadi World Technologies builds websites, online stores, web and mobile apps, AI automation and WhatsApp/CRM automation. We also run digital marketing and SEO, and look after what we build through monthly care plans.
Do you work with clients outside India?
Yes. We have live client sites in the UK and the Cayman Islands, and plan overlap hours for UK and US East-coast teams. We can invoice in INR, GBP or USD.
How do we start a project?
Send the contact form or message us on WhatsApp. We reply within one working day to set up a free 20-minute call. After the call you get a written scope and a fixed quote, usually within 48 hours.
How long does a project take?
It depends on scope. A focused business website is typically a few weeks; online stores, web apps and mobile apps take longer. Your quote includes a timeline with milestones, and you get staging links to review as we go.
How much does a project cost?
Every project is quoted after a short call, because cost depends on pages, features, integrations and who writes the content. You get a fixed quote with everything listed — no hourly surprises.
How do payments work?
Fixed-scope projects are billed in milestones, with an advance to start. Care plans and marketing are billed monthly. We accept bank transfer and UPI, and GST invoices are issued for every payment.
Will I be able to edit the website myself?
Yes. We set up an editor for text, images and blog posts and walk your team through it. Bigger changes can be covered by a care plan.
Do I need a mobile app or a mobile-friendly website?
Often a fast mobile website is enough. Apps make sense when people use you repeatedly — bookings, ordering, loyalty, field work. We'll tell you honestly which fits.
Where should a small business start with AI?
With one repetitive task that costs real time — answering common enquiries, qualifying leads, summarising documents. We run a fixed-price pilot so you see results before committing to more.
How long does SEO take?
Technical fixes can help within weeks; content and authority usually take 3–6 months to compound. We report progress monthly so you can see the trend.
Who owns the website, code and accounts?
You do — the code, the domain, the hosting account and the content. We hand everything over in your name.
What happens after launch?
You can manage day-to-day content yourself, and choose a monthly care plan for updates, backups, security, uptime checks and small changes — or bring us in only when you need us.
GeneralWho we are and how we work.
What does AWT do?
Angadi World Technologies builds websites, online stores, web and mobile apps, AI automation and WhatsApp/CRM automation. We also run digital marketing and SEO, and look after what we build through monthly care plans.
Where is AWT based?
Bengaluru, with a delivery team in Hyderabad. We've been building software for businesses since 2018 and have delivered more than 500 projects.
What kind of businesses do you work with?
Owner-led and growing businesses, startups, and agencies that need a reliable white-label development partner — from restaurants and clinics to manufacturers, retailers and real-estate developers.
Do you work with clients outside India?
Yes. We have live client sites in the UK and the Cayman Islands, and plan overlap hours for UK and US East-coast teams. We can invoice in INR, GBP or USD.
Can I see work you've done?
Yes — our Work page links to client sites that are live today, each with a short case study. Some enterprise projects are under NDA; on a call we can walk you through more and, where clients agree, arrange a reference.
Process & timelinesWhat happens from first call to launch.
How do we start a project?
Send the contact form or message us on WhatsApp. We reply within one working day to set up a free 20-minute call. After the call you get a written scope and a fixed quote, usually within 48 hours.
How long does a project take?
It depends on scope. A focused business website is typically a few weeks; online stores, web apps and mobile apps take longer. Your quote includes a timeline with milestones, and you get staging links to review as we go.
Why do bigger software projects start with a paid discovery phase?
Because a fixed price on undefined software is a gamble for both sides. Discovery gives you a clickable prototype, a clear scope and a quote you can trust — and you own those outputs even if you don't continue with us.
How involved do I need to be?
A kick-off call, quick feedback at each milestone and final approval. We keep it light: one point of contact on our side, shared updates, and nothing goes live without your sign-off.
Can you sign an NDA?
Yes — before any detailed discussion if you need one. For agency partners we sign one by default.
Pricing & paymentsQuotes, milestones and invoices.
How much does a project cost?
Every project is quoted after a short call, because cost depends on pages, features, integrations and who writes the content. You get a fixed quote with everything listed — no hourly surprises.
How do payments work?
Fixed-scope projects are billed in milestones, with an advance to start. Care plans and marketing are billed monthly. We accept bank transfer and UPI, and GST invoices are issued for every payment.
Do you lock us into long contracts?
No. Monthly services run on a short notice period. We'd rather keep clients by delivering results.
Websites & storesBusiness websites and e-commerce.
Will I be able to edit the website myself?
Yes. We set up an editor for text, images and blog posts and walk your team through it. Bigger changes can be covered by a care plan.
Do you write the content?
We can. Many clients give us rough notes and we turn them into clear, search-friendly copy. You approve everything before launch.
Can you redesign our existing website?
Yes. We review what works today, keep your search rankings with proper redirects, and rebuild with a faster, clearer design.
WordPress, Shopify or a custom build?
WordPress/WooCommerce is flexible and low-cost, Shopify is quickest to run, and a custom build suits high volume or unusual flows. We recommend based on your products, team and budget — not on what's easiest for us.
Can you move my store from another platform?
Yes. We migrate products, customers and order history where the platform allows, and set up redirects so you keep your search rankings.
Do your online stores handle GST invoices?
Yes — tax rules per product (including HSN codes) and automatic invoice generation are part of every Indian store we build.
Apps & softwareWeb apps, mobile apps and platforms.
Do I need a mobile app or a mobile-friendly website?
Often a fast mobile website is enough. Apps make sense when people use you repeatedly — bookings, ordering, loyalty, field work. We'll tell you honestly which fits.
Native or cross-platform?
For most business apps, Flutter or React Native gives a native feel at lower cost. We recommend fully native only when you need heavy device-specific features.
Can you take over an existing app or codebase?
Yes. We start with a code and infrastructure review, fix what's urgent, then agree a plan for improvements.
Who owns the App Store and Play Store accounts?
You do. We help set up Apple and Google developer accounts in your company's name.
AI & automationAI assistants, WhatsApp and CRM workflows.
Where should a small business start with AI?
With one repetitive task that costs real time — answering common enquiries, qualifying leads, summarising documents. We run a fixed-price pilot so you see results before committing to more.
Is our data safe with AI tools?
We use business-grade AI APIs that don't train on your data, restrict access by role and keep a log of every action. Sensitive steps always need a human approval.
What if the AI gets something wrong?
That's why pilots start in approval mode against a measured baseline. Steps only switch to automatic once accuracy is proven on your own data.
Can we keep our existing WhatsApp number?
Usually yes, after it's moved to the WhatsApp Business API. We guide you through it so nothing is lost.
Are there WhatsApp charges?
Meta charges for business-initiated messages; replies to customers who message you first have generous free windows. We estimate this for your volume before you start.
Will it work with the tools we already use?
Usually yes — Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho, HubSpot, Tally, WhatsApp and most tools with an API.
Marketing & SEOAds, SEO and AI search (GEO).
How long does SEO take?
Technical fixes can help within weeks; content and authority usually take 3–6 months to compound. We report progress monthly so you can see the trend.
What is GEO (AI search optimisation)?
Generative Engine Optimisation makes your business easy for AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity to find, trust and cite. It builds on good SEO with clear facts, structured data and answers to the questions buyers actually ask.
Do you guarantee #1 rankings?
No — nobody honestly can. We commit to the work, the process and transparent reporting on what it produces.
What budget do I need for ads?
It depends on your market and goals. We recommend a test budget that's enough to learn from, and scale only once your cost per lead is proven.
Who owns the ad accounts?
You do. We work inside your Google, Meta and LinkedIn accounts with access you can remove at any time.
Support & ownershipAfter launch, care plans and hosting.
Who owns the website, code and accounts?
You do — the code, the domain, the hosting account and the content. We hand everything over in your name.
What happens after launch?
You can manage day-to-day content yourself, and choose a monthly care plan for updates, backups, security, uptime checks and small changes — or bring us in only when you need us.
What does a care plan include?
Updates, backups, security monitoring, uptime checks and a monthly allowance for small changes, with a clear response time. Plans are quoted to fit your site.
Do you provide hosting?
We set up and manage hosting in your name on a provider that fits your budget and traffic — from low-cost shared hosting to cloud servers — so you're never locked in to us.
Can you reduce our cloud bill?
Often, yes — through right-sizing, reserved capacity, cleaning up unused resources and caching. We start with a review that shows where the money goes.
Agency partnersWhite-label development for agencies.
Will our clients know you're involved?
Only if you want them to. We work under your brand, sign an NDA by default and never contact your clients directly.
What hours do you work?
Our core hours are IST, with planned overlap for UK mornings and US East-coast mornings for stand-ups and reviews.
How do you handle quality?
Code review on every pull request, a QA checklist before handover, and staging links for your review before anything reaches your client.
How do agencies pay?
A fixed price per project or a monthly allocation, invoiced in USD or GBP.
CareersJoining the AWT team.
How long does your hiring process take?
Usually one to two weeks from application to offer. We reply to every application within 5 working days.
Do you hire freshers or interns?
When we open intern or fresher roles they appear on our Careers page. You can also send a general application with your portfolio.
I don't see a role that fits. Can I still apply?
Yes — send a general application. We keep strong profiles on file and reach out when a matching role opens.
