Why MeetOnChai for India

Reasons clients pick us.

  1. 01

    Your working hours, practically to the minute

    Nepal runs 15 minutes ahead of IST. Morning stand-ups, mid-day reviews and evening launches all happen in the same working day for both of us.

  2. 02

    We've already shipped for Indian brands

    A seasonal mango store, a wellness brand selling Moringa powder and a pharma company in Bihar. Different industries, same Indian buyer expectations around trust and payment.

  3. 03

    UPI, COD and Razorpay as standard

    Indian shoppers expect UPI, cards, net banking and cash on delivery. We build checkout around those methods, and we've worked with Razorpay at the code level.

  4. 04

    An Indian number you can call

    We keep a +91 line alongside our Nepal number, and WhatsApp is open for quick questions. You don't need international calling to reach your developers.

  5. 05

    Trust signals where Indian buyers hesitate

    Certifications, return policies and clear delivery promises placed at the moment someone is deciding whether to pay, not buried in the footer.

What Indian buyers need before they pay

Indian online shoppers are quick to buy and quick to leave. A store that doesn't offer UPI, hides its return policy or looks unsure of itself loses the sale. For categories like food, wellness and health, buyers also look for certification before they trust a brand with something they'll eat.

On Oryizon we built that into the page: UPI, cards, net banking and cash on delivery at checkout, FSSAI certification and a 7-day return policy shown right where buyers hesitate. On MangoMasti the entire order ends in a WhatsApp message, because that's where the brand's customers already trusted them.

Why Indian brands work with a studio in Nepal

Fair question, and we get it a lot. India has no shortage of agencies. What we offer is direct access to the people building your product, a written scope agreed before work starts, and replies within 24 hours.

The time zone makes it easy. With only 15 minutes between us, there's no overnight wait for answers and no late-night calls. It works the way a team in the next city would, without the commute.

Beyond e-commerce

Not every Indian client sells online. Shwetrex Pharma needed a corporate site that distributors, doctors and regulators could all read: a product catalogue with notify-me for upcoming products, quality and manufacturing pages, a distributor enquiry flow, and careful copy that never reads like a medical claim. Regulated industries need that kind of restraint as much as they need good design.

FAQ

Working with us from India.

Do you work with clients in India?

Yes. MangoMasti, Oryizon and Shwetrex Pharma are all Indian brands we've built for. We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and email, with a +91 number you can reach us on.

What's the time difference between Nepal and India?

Nepal is 15 minutes ahead of IST. In practice we keep the same working hours as you, so calls, reviews and launches all happen within your normal day.

Can you integrate UPI, Razorpay and cash on delivery?

Yes. We've shipped Indian stores taking UPI, cards, net banking and cash on delivery, and we've built against Razorpay's API directly. We test refunds, failures and webhooks, not just the happy path.

How do contracts and NDAs work across the border?

We sign your NDA before any detailed discussion and agree a written scope with what's in, what's out and the price before work starts. If you have a preferred contract format, we're happy to work with it.

Can you launch before a seasonal deadline?

That's how MangoMasti was built: the store had to take real orders before the Alphonso season started. We plan backwards from your date and get checkout and payments working first.
