Software Development Company for US Startups
V2S Infosystem is an offshore software development company for US startups: direct engineer access, day-one IP assignment, 50-70% lower cost than local hires.
US startups increasingly look outside Silicon Valley when it's time to build product. A US-based senior engineer now costs $100–$150 an hour, while an equivalent developer in India bills $20–$65 an hour depending on seniority — a difference that lets a seed-stage founder stretch 18 months of runway into 36. But price is not what makes or breaks these engagements. The startups that get burned are the ones who never asked who owns the code, who they're actually talking to, and whether the vendor is a real registered company or a freelancer collective with a website.
V2S Infosystem Private Limited is a registered software development company (incorporated 2015, predecessor V2S Technologies since 2012) based in New Delhi, India, built specifically for founders who want a direct line to the engineers building their product — not a account manager relaying messages to a black-box team.
What US startups should screen for before signing
Published 2026 vendor-evaluation guidance for offshore software partners is consistent on a short list of red flags and green flags. Screen every vendor against these before a contract is signed:
- IP assignment from day one — not "upon final payment." Code held hostage until the last invoice clears is the single most common gap in offshore contracts, and it should be a dealbreaker.
- Direct access to the engineers, not just a sales contact or account manager who relays every question to an invisible team.
- Verifiable company registration — a real registered legal entity with a physical address, not a name on a freelance marketplace profile.
- Code lives in your repository, not the vendor's — from commit one, with you holding admin access.
- A defined sprint cadence and reporting rhythm, so progress is visible weekly, not revealed at the end of a fixed-bid black box.
Why India, and why V2S specifically
India remains the largest global talent pool for software engineering, with the strongest English proficiency in Asia and the most mature outsourcing ecosystem of any offshore market. V2S Infosystem Private Limited runs a production stack that startups can verify and ask hard questions about: .NET Core, React, C#, Java, Node.js, React Native, Flutter, and Python for core application work, plus Semantic Kernel, OpenAI, LangChain, and N8N for teams building AI-native products or automating back-office workflows.
We work as an extension of your team, not a separate black box. That means daily or async standups on your schedule, code committed to your GitHub or Azure DevOps repository from day one, and IP assignment terms that transfer ownership immediately — never conditional on a final payment milestone.
Engagement models that fit a startup's stage
| Model | Best for | Typical commitment |
|---|---|---|
| Dedicated team | Seed/Series A building core product | 3+ months, monthly billing |
| MVP sprint | Pre-seed validating an idea | 6–10 weeks, fixed scope |
| Staff augmentation | Startups with an in-house lead needing extra hands | Rolling monthly, scale up/down |
Time zone overlap that actually works
New Delhi runs 9.5–12.5 hours ahead of US time zones depending on coast and daylight saving. Rather than forcing your team into all-night calls, we run a shifted schedule that overlaps with US Eastern mornings and US Pacific evenings, so standups, code review, and blocking questions get answered same-day, not next-day.
What a first engagement looks like
- A scoping call to understand your product, stage, and timeline — no sales pitch, engineers on the call.
- A short paid discovery sprint (1–2 weeks) to validate technical approach and team fit before any long-term commitment.
- Contract with explicit IP assignment, termination clause, and milestone-based payment — reviewed by your counsel, not just ours.
- Kickoff with code committed to your repository from the first sprint.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who actually owns the code we pay you to write?
You do, from day one. Our contracts assign IP ownership immediately on creation, not on final payment, and code is committed directly to a repository you control and administer.
How much cheaper is an Indian dev team than hiring in the US?
Typically 50–70% less than an equivalent US hire once you account for salary, benefits, and overhead — Indian developers bill $20–$65/hour by seniority versus $100–$150/hour for a comparable US engineer.
Will we be talking to a salesperson or an actual engineer?
You get direct access to the engineers and technical lead assigned to your project. Sales handles the first call; every call after that is with the people writing your code.
Can you handle AI features, not just standard web/app development?
Yes — we run production AI workloads on OpenAI, Semantic Kernel, and LangChain, including agent orchestration with N8N, alongside our core .NET Core/React/Node.js stack.
What if we only need a short MVP build, not a long-term team?
Our MVP sprint model is built for exactly that — a 6–10 week fixed-scope engagement to validate an idea before committing to a dedicated team.

V2S Infosystem Private Limited is a registered private limited company incorporated in 2015 (predecessor V2S Technologies from 2012), based at 2/352, 2nd Floor, Subhash Nagar, New Delhi 110027.
