How to choose an AI development company for India
- Start from the problem. Ask how the company would solve your specific use case, and whether AI is really needed.
- Ask for relevant work. Look for case studies in your industry and with similar data, languages or regulations.
- Check data handling. Check which data protection law applies to any personal data you share, and put the obligations into your contract. Agree in writing where your data is stored and whether it can be sent to third-party AI models.
- Test before committing. Start with a paid proof of concept on real data and agree how quality will be measured.
- Confirm ownership. Make sure you own the code, models and prompts, and that an NDA is signed before sharing data.
- Time zone. India uses UTC+05:30 all year. Agree overlap hours before the project starts.
