Hire app (cross-platform) talent in India. We handle the employment.

Cross-platform is a deliberate product choice: one Flutter or React Native codebase, both stores, half the maintenance surface. The hiring choice underneath is just as deliberate. We employ your cross-platform developers full-time on our Bengaluru entity, run their payroll and statutory filings, and leave the product decisions where they belong, with you. Native-only briefs belong on our Android and iOS pages instead.

One codebase, both app stores, and a full-time cross-platform developer legally employed on our Bengaluru entity within five business days. Native-only roles have their own Android and iOS pages.

Hiring cross-platform app talent in India, answered.

The eight questions app and product leaders ask us most, answered as on our calls. Question eight covers when to walk past us.

How do I hire cross-platform app developers in India?

Two steps. Choose whether you source the candidate or we do, then we employ them full-time on Foo Falcon Technologies Pvt Ltd in Bengaluru, run payroll and statutory filings, and you direct their work. From signed offer, they are on payroll within five business days.

Should I hire cross-platform or native developers for my app?

Cross-platform (Flutter or React Native) suits products where one team must cover both stores efficiently. Native wins for heavy platform integration, games or performance-critical work. If your brief is native-only, our dedicated Android and iOS hiring pages cover those roles specifically.

What do Flutter and React Native developers cost in India?

Mid-level cross-platform developers in India typically run well below comparable US or EU salaries at strong quality. On top of salary come employer statutory additions and our $149 monthly fee, with everything converted at the RBI rate onto one USD invoice.

Can one hire cover both Android and iOS delivery?

That is the core promise of cross-platform, and it is why we screen for genuine dual-store shipping experience: store review processes, staged rollouts and platform-specific debugging on both sides, not just familiarity with the framework.

Who owns the app code and IP?

You do, contractually and from day one. IP assignment covering code, designs and inventions is written into both the employment contract and our master service agreement. Nothing about the EOR structure dilutes your ownership.

Do you handle test devices for app developers?

Yes. We procure phones, tablets and laptops in India to your spec, deliver them to the developer, keep them on our asset register and recover them at exit. Device costs bill through at actuals.

What if we later add native specialists or an in-house entity?

Both are clean moves. Native Android and iOS hires join the same agreement and pool toward your volume discount. And if you incorporate in India later, the whole app team transfers to your entity with UAN, tenure and gratuity preserved.

When is an EOR the wrong call for an app team?

If you already run a compliant Indian entity, we add cost without value. If the build is a short project under three months, contract it instead. And if the plan is keeping app developers on contractor paper permanently, we decline on misclassification grounds.
