Software development for UK companies
Vixit AI Studios is a product engineering studio in Ranchi, India, working with companies in the United Kingdom. The timezone maths is friendlier than it is for US clients — India is 4.5 to 5.5 hours ahead of the UK, so most of your working day overlaps with ours.
The overlap is the practical advantage
India Standard Time runs 5.5 hours ahead of GMT and 4.5 ahead of British Summer Time. Our afternoon is your morning and our evening is your afternoon, which means same-day turnaround on questions rather than the overnight cycle a US engagement involves.
For most UK clients this removes the usual objection to distributed teams. You can raise something at 9am and have it addressed before lunch.
Data protection, plainly stated
If your product handles personal data of people in the UK or EU, that carries obligations, and you should be sceptical of any vendor who waves them away — or who claims a certification without producing it.
We do not claim GDPR or UK GDPR certification, because that would mean an audit and a certificate we do not hold. What we can do is build to the controls: data minimisation, tenant isolation, role-based access, audit logging, encryption at rest, encrypted backups, and a documented deletion path so a subject access or erasure request is an operation rather than an emergency.
We can also host within a region you specify, if data residency is a requirement — that is an infrastructure decision to make before the build, not after.
Contracting and payment
Standard UK contracting works: a services agreement with statements of work per phase, mutual NDA, and explicit IP assignment. You own the code and the repository from the first commit.
Invoicing is in GBP or USD by international transfer, with milestones tied to working software rather than dates.
What UK clients hire us for
Custom web applications and internal tools. Multi-tenant SaaS platforms. Healthcare and clinical software, where our experience running a live hospital management system is directly relevant. Marketplaces and booking platforms. And performance work on sites and applications where mobile Core Web Vitals have become a commercial problem.
Frequently asked
What is the time difference between the UK and your team?
India is 5.5 hours ahead of GMT and 4.5 hours ahead of British Summer Time. Most of your working day overlaps with ours, so questions raised in your morning are usually resolved the same day rather than overnight.
Are you GDPR compliant?
We do not claim certification, because that would require an audit and a certificate we do not hold. We build to the controls GDPR describes — data minimisation, tenant isolation, role-based access, audit logging, encryption at rest and in backup, and a documented deletion path. We can also host in a specified region if data residency is required.
Can you host our data in the UK or EU?
Yes. Data residency is an infrastructure decision best made before the build rather than migrated into afterwards, so raise it during scoping and we will architect for it.
How do UK clients pay?
By international bank transfer in GBP or USD against invoices, with payment milestones tied to working software you can log into rather than to calendar dates.
