How to choose a software company in Ranchi or Noida
Choose a software development company in Ranchi or Noida in two steps. First read four public records and ask four questions about the office, the registration and the engineers. Then score every vendor from 0 to 2 on the same eight criteria and compare the totals. The city decides who can sit with your team. It does not decide the quality of the work.

Four records to check before a proposal
- Registered office. Search the company on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs website (mca.gov.in) and read the registered address, the incorporation date and the status.
- GST registration. Ask for the GSTIN and look it up on the GST portal (gst.gov.in). The first two digits give the state.
- Where the engineers sit. Ask which city the people who will write your code work in, and ask to meet them.
- Who leads. Ask for the names of the delivery lead and the architect, and how many of your meetings each will attend.
Write each answer down next to the vendor's name. Records one and two are public documents. Questions three and four take one call.
The eight criteria
Give 2 for a document or a named reference, 1 for a sensible answer you cannot yet check, and 0 for a promise. Record the score straight after each call. Eight criteria at 2 points each give a total out of 16.
- Process mapping
- What to askWho maps our process, for how long, and on site?
- A weak answerA quote after one call
- References
- What to askWhich client has a process like ours, and may we call them?
- A weak answerLogos with no case behind them
- Code ownership
- What to askWhose repository holds the code from the first commit?
- A weak answerA licence back to the vendor
- Release rhythm
- What to askHow often does working software reach our live environment?
- A weak answerOne release at the end
- Support after go-live
- What to askWho answers a fault, and on what terms?
- A weak answerA general promise
- Exit terms
- What to askWhat do we hold if we stop at the end of any phase?
- A weak answerNo answer on exit
- Sector knowledge
- What to askWhich named systems in our sector has the team worked on?
- A weak answerThe same pitch for every sector
- Team changes
- What to askWhat happens if an engineer leaves mid-project?
- A weak answerNo replacement terms

Drop any vendor that scores 0 on code ownership or process mapping. The guide to choosing a custom ERP company uses a similar table with evidence to request for ERP projects.
What the city changes
Distance matters in two places. Discovery goes better when the vendor sits with the people who do the work, so ask how many discovery weeks are on site. Phase reviews and go-lives go better in person. Between those visits, daily work and releases run remotely.
For a plant in Jharkhand, ask each vendor to name a system it has built in that sector. For a buyer in Delhi NCR, ask where discovery workshops are held and who attends.
Matching the vendor to the job
Match the vendor to the shape of the job. A prototype in six weeks suits a product studio. A rollout across several countries at once needs delivery staff in each country. A five-page brochure site suits a web studio. An enterprise system for one organisation, built in phases and run after launch, suits a vendor that scores well on the eight criteria above.
Where Brihat Infotech is based
Brihat Infotech Private Limited was founded in 2022. Its registered head office and engineering base is in Ranchi, Jharkhand. A delivery office in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, serves Delhi NCR, and discovery workshops for NCR clients run from there. It holds ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 9001. A custom platform project starts with a paid discovery phase, typically 2 to 6 weeks, and the client owns the source code from the first commit.
Checklist
- Read each vendor's MCA record and look up its GSTIN.
- Ask where the engineers sit, and meet them.
- Score each vendor 0, 1 or 2 on all eight criteria.
- Call a reference on a similar process, where the vendor can supply one.
- Read the ownership and exit clauses before the price.

Other buyer's guides
Tell us what you want to build.
The first call is 45 minutes with an architect, usually the founder. It is free, and we will sign an NDA first if you ask.
