In an increasingly digitalized world, companies are looking for solutions that are not only efficient and cost-effective, but also sustainable in the long term. Sustainability in software development means more than just servers powered by green electricity or long-lasting code - it starts with people, continues in stable processes and is reflected in resilient structures.
India is an ideal location for companies from the DACH region in particular to set up their own sustainable software development department. However, this project comes with challenges. Today I would like to explain how we at DevRiseUp can support you in making this path efficient, low-risk and successful in the long term.
Why India for sustainable software development?
India is one of the world's leading locations for software development - and for good reason:
- Large talent pool: millions of highly qualified developers, many of whom specialize in modern technologies such as cloud, AI, mobile and DevOps..
- Cost efficiency: Compared to DACH, labor costs are significantly lower - and with the right setup, without any loss of quality.
- Scalability and flexibility: Teams can be scaled up or down depending on projects or growth - a decisive advantage in volatile markets.
- Technological innovation: Indian developers are often technology-savvy, willing to learn and internationally oriented - ideal partners for modern, future-proof software solutions.
All these factors make India an attractive but complex target market. This is exactly where we come in.

If you focus on quality, scalability and sustainable success, you will benefit from our experience and our clearly structured approach.
In my role as an internationally active CTO, I have experienced many models of software development - some worked in the short term, others not at all. The most successful approaches were always those that thought long-term: with clear values, good communication and trusting partnerships. Companies never work with companies, it's always people with people - and that's the case here too!
Building a team in India can be such a sustainable path to success - if you plan it strategically and implement it in partnership. This is exactly what DevRiseUp stands for.
