Website & Software Development Company in Mumbai

STYLABS is a website, app and software development company with an office in Santacruz East, Mumbai, and a second in Business Bay, Dubai. It designs and builds websites, mobile apps, booking platforms, back-office ERPs and MVPs for Indian startups and businesses. Its India work includes Hireavilla, a villa marketplace across Goa, Alibaug and Mangalore, and Stayscape, a villa booking site for Lonavala and Karjat. A typical build takes about twelve weeks and the client owns the code.

The company was founded in 2015 by Himanshu Sarda and Ajay Prabhu and trades as Stylabs Technologies Private Limited. The founding story on the about page says it started in a small office in Mumbai. It now has between 10 and 49 people across the two offices.

This page covers what the Mumbai studio builds, what has shipped in India, what Indian agencies publish as prices, where the office is, and when you should hire someone else.

Services from the Mumbai studio

One senior team covers strategy, design and engineering, so a client in Mumbai does not manage three vendors to get one product. Each service is described on its own page.

• Website design and development. Brand, design and build in one team, on React, Next.js and TypeScript. See web and mobile development and product and UX design.
• Mobile apps. Native and cross-platform apps for iOS and Android, built by the same team that builds the web product.
• Custom software and ERP. Operator dashboards and back offices that run inventory, bookings and enquiries in one place. The pattern is explained in hospitality ERP.
• MVPs for founders. The smallest product that proves the core idea, launched in about twelve weeks. See MVP development and the venture studio track.
• Workflow and AI automation. Support agents, operations workflows and dashboards, built in n8n, Make or Zapier, or custom code, depending on the budget and the problem. See workflow and AI automation and the WhatsApp AI agent page.
• Product strategy and branding. Market sizing, user research and a sequenced roadmap before code, and identity and go-to-market after it. See product strategy and branding and growth.

Website development in Mumbai

Most Mumbai businesses that search for a website development company want one of two things. Some need a company website that presents them properly and brings in enquiries. Others need a website that does a job, such as taking a booking, showing live inventory or feeding a sales team, and that job is software.

STYLABS builds both. It is most useful for the second kind.

How the sites are built. Front ends are written in React, Next.js and TypeScript, with Node, Python and PostgreSQL behind them. Pages are rendered on the server, so search engines and AI assistants read finished HTML. Lighthouse scores, Core Web Vitals and bundle budgets are part of the workflow. The STYLABS site you are reading runs on Next.js 16.

Design is part of the build. Website design and development sit with the same team, so the screen a client approves is the screen that ships. Flows are tested in working front-end code as well as in design files. MOMA, an architecture and interiors studio, got its identity and website in ten weeks. Profound Properties, a Dubai brokerage, got a rebrand and a six-language site in fourteen, and recorded three times the qualified inbound leads in the first quarter after launch.

The site comes with the operations behind it. When a website has to sell from live data, the team builds the dashboard or ERP that holds that data. Hireavilla's website reads real availability, and the team behind it works from an ERP that STYLABS built at the same time.

You can change it after launch. CI runs tests and deploys on each merge. MOMA publishes new projects on its site without help from STYLABS.

App development in Mumbai

The Mumbai and Dubai team builds mobile apps native or cross-platform, depending on the product. Apps it has shipped include:

• Outlet House, an e-commerce app in Dubai.
• The Hireavilla guest app, for the villa marketplace described below.
• Owners apps for Makarska Exklusiv, Hireavilla and Manzil. Owners see payouts, calendars, reports and analytics, and can reserve a stay in their own property.

Manzil started on the Guesty API and now runs on Hostaway.

An app rarely stands alone. A guest app needs the same availability and prices as the website, and an owners app needs the same booking data as the operator dashboard. When one team builds the website, the back end and the app, the types can be shared from the client to the database, so a change to a field is made once. Every app above shares its back end with the website it belongs to.

Software and MVPs for Indian startups

For a founder in Mumbai, Bengaluru or Pune, an MVP is the smallest product that tests the idea with paying users. STYLABS builds it as a production-grade version of the core flow, on TypeScript, React, Next.js and PostgreSQL, so it does not have to be rebuilt if it works.

The engagement runs for about twelve weeks, with a demo every week and real users on the beta from around week three. Makarska Exklusiv, a villa booking platform in Croatia, shipped brand, design and a working booking platform in twelve weeks.

What it costs. A STYLABS MVP typically runs from ₹8 lakh to ₹30 lakh, quoted as a fixed proposal after a scoping call. The full comparison, with published agency prices, developer salary data and the arithmetic under them, is in how much an MVP costs in India and Dubai.

Why some quotes are lower. A five-person team for twelve weeks costs about ₹18 lakh in wages alone at Stack Overflow's 2025 median salaries for India, as that guide shows. A quote well below that buys a smaller team, fewer weeks or less senior people. That can be the right purchase for a single-flow product.

India work that has shipped

Hireavilla (hireavilla.in, 2025). A multi-host luxury villa marketplace across North Goa, Alibaug, Mangalore, Bali and Dubai. Before the rebuild, in the words of the case study, "inventory lived across spreadsheets and channel managers, bookings ran on calls and manual confirmations." STYLABS built the brand, the marketplace, a direct booking flow on real availability, and an ERP that gives the team "one view of inventory, bookings and guest communication across all destinations." AI agents now handle the booking conversation on WhatsApp and Instagram. Scope: branding, web design, web development, ERP.

Stayscape (stayscape.in). A custom Hostaway booking site for private luxury villas near Mumbai, in Lonavala, Karjat, Pali and Igatpuri. It has its own dashboard, so the team runs listings, content and bookings without Hostaway's website builder.

Both run on Hostaway, which stays the property management system for calendars, channels and reservations. The Indian specifics, from GST worked out night by night to UPI charges and payment gateways, are on the villa rental websites in India page. The four Hostaway builds are at custom Hostaway websites.

Work for clients outside India is run from the same two offices. It includes Profound Properties and Manzil Asset Management in Dubai, and Makarska Exklusiv in Croatia, which has 110 villas and apartments live. All published case studies are at stylabs.com/work.

What it costs in India

What Mumbai and Indian agencies publish

Agencies that publish prices for Mumbai give wide ranges, because "website" covers a five-page brochure and a booking platform alike.

Sources: Ideamagix, Web Gurus India, Unico Connect and Codingclave, all retrieved 19 October 2026.

Three things to read from the table. A brochure site and a custom web application are different purchases, and the bottom of one range tells you nothing about the other. App prices differ by a factor of ten between publishers, which reflects team size and weeks more than skill. And GST changes the total. Web Gurus India states its figures exclude 18% GST, so a ₹2,00,000 project is ₹2,36,000 on the invoice. Ask every agency whether its quote includes GST.

What STYLABS charges

Every project is a fixed proposal after a scoping call. The confirmed rupee ranges are:

• MVP: ₹8 lakh to ₹30 lakh.
• Booking website with an operator dashboard: ₹10 lakh to ₹35 lakh.
• Website build: ₹10 lakh to ₹15 lakh. The same work quoted from Dubai is AED 70,000 to AED 100,000.

STYLABS positions its delivery at up to 40% below traditional development cost, because AI handles boilerplate, QA cycles and deployment pipelines while senior engineers work on the hard parts. It is not the lowest quote you will receive in Mumbai. The ranges above sit in the custom web application and app MVP rows of the table, which is where the work sits.

Running costs are separate: hosting, payment gateway fees on each transaction, any software subscriptions such as a PMS, and maintenance.

The office, the team and how to visit

The Mumbai office is at:

STYLABS (Stylabs Technologies Private Limited) 4th Floor, Deserve Building, CST Road Junction, Santacruz East, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400098

The Dubai office is at 1616 Binary Tower, Business Bay. Design and engineering run from both, the working language is English, and clients in India, the UAE, the US, the UK and Europe are served from the same two bases.

Visits are by appointment only. To meet the team, write to hello@stylabs.com or use the contact form and say what you want to discuss.

How an engagement runs:

• Scoping call, then a fixed proposal. Scope, integrations and the number of languages move a quote more than headcount does.
• About twelve weeks from kickoff to launch. MOMA took ten weeks, Makarska Exklusiv twelve and Profound Properties fourteen.
• A demo every week, with transparent reporting.
• Code and IP belong to you, including the repositories.

The people on the team are listed on the about page.

When to hire someone else

• You need a five-page brochure site. The published Mumbai ranges for a basic site start at ₹15,000. A freelancer or a template shop will do that faster and for far less than STYLABS.
• You have a finished spec and only need hands. If the product thinking is done and you have a product owner in house, buy capacity from a development shop at a lower hourly rate.
• You want the cheapest quote. STYLABS prices below traditional agency delivery, and it is still not the lowest bid in Mumbai.
• You want engineers seated in your office on a timesheet. STYLABS works as a studio team on a scoped engagement and does not embed staff.
• Your app is a game or depends on specialised device hardware. Nothing in the published work covers it.
• Your project is regulated fintech, healthcare or defence. Nothing in the published work covers those sectors either. Ask, and the team will say whether it has done it.

If none of those describes you, start a project or write to hello@stylabs.com.
