The Cross-Platform Cost You Haven't Been Billed for Yet
The invoice is never for the build. It's the frame drops, the module version conflicts, and the platform-specific rewrite that shows up in year two — after the team that shipped it has moved on.
Every number below is one we run the company on — not one we quote to close a deal.
The same team size, client base, and tenure back the maintenance and upgrade path we scope with you before you sign.
300+
People on payroll
Running InterviewGod, Vikaas, and Vidya day to day — not a bench.
30+
Enterprise clients
Swiggy, Myntra, PhonePe, Times Internet, Indian Oil, and others.
10 yrs
In production
Building since 2016 — no pivot to AI last year.

Nine Things That Keep the Second Year Cheap
Each of these is a line item that either gets scoped now, in a pull request, or discovered later, in a support ticket.
Optimized Performance
Frame rate and memory budgeted before launch, not diagnosed after a review.
Security Hardening
Secure storage and platform hardening built into the build.
Cross-Platform Excellence
One codebase for iOS and Android, native where it matters.
Support & Maintenance
A defined post-launch engagement with a scope and a schedule, not an open incident queue.
Typed Native Bridge
Breaking native changes fail in review, not production.
Tested Upgrade Path
Dependency upgrades tested before they reach your users.
Offline-First Data Sync
Local-first storage with conflict resolution built in.
Device Tier Testing
Releases run against the device tiers your users actually carry.
Push & Deep Linking
Notification and deep-link delivery tested on both platforms.
Six Gates, Not One Demo
Typed native boundaries. CI-gated performance budgets. A tested upgrade path. Every build passes through the same checkpoints before it ships — so a regression is caught in a pull request, not a one-star review six months after launch.
-
01
Discovery Sprint
We tell you which stack fits — React Native, Flutter, or native iOS/Android — before a line of code is written.
-
02
Typed Native Boundaries
Every JS-to-native bridge is typed and interface-checked, so a broken contract fails in code review, not at runtime.
-
03
CI-Gated Performance Budgets
Frame rate, startup time, and memory are checked against targets on every pull request — before merge, not after launch.
-
04
Device-Tier Testing
Builds run across low, mid, and high device tiers before merge — not assumed from a single test phone on a fast network.
-
05
Tested Upgrade Path
React Native version upgrades are tested and scheduled, not deferred until they break in production.
-
06
Support & Maintenance
Performance telemetry stays wired in after launch, inside a defined maintenance engagement — not an open-ended retainer.

What the People Who Signed the Contract Say Now
Banao built our QR-coded vehicle identity system with subscription scheduling and payments end to end — across Android, iOS, and web — and it's been running our society operations since 2021.
Banao built our placement-readiness platform — job tracking, interview self-assessment, and our mentorship marketplace — in one engagement.
Banao unified our online ordering with our existing store network — loyalty, multi-store inventory, and admin, seller, and retailer panels — across seven engagements since 2021.
If native is the right call, we'll say so — before you sign anything.
Will you recommend React Native even when native is the better fit?
No. We build React Native, Flutter, and native iOS/Android, and the scoping call names which stack fits — even when the honest answer is that we shouldn't build this one.
Do we own the code, or are we locked into your team?
You own the system. No proprietary framework, no dependency on us to ship the next release — ownership is a contract term, not a slogan.
How do you catch a performance regression before it ships?
Frame rate, startup time, and memory are measured against targets in CI, so a regression surfaces in a pull request — not a one-star review six months after launch.
What happens after launch — are we on our own?
Support and maintenance is a defined, budgeted engagement from day one, not an improvised fix cycle after something breaks.
Why trust an AI-native claim from an outside vendor?
We run our own roughly 300-person operation on the same AI systems we build for clients — InterviewGod, Vikaas, Vidya. We do not sell software we hope works; we sell the software we depend on.
Who else has shipped with you?
30+ enterprise clients, including Swiggy, Myntra, PhonePe, Times Internet, and Indian Oil, building since 2016.
Scope the second year before you sign the first one.
The cost of React Native isn't the build — it's what happens twelve months after launch. We forecast it upfront, as part of the same engagement.
