Quick answer
To hire a developer for your Indian startup, define your MVP scope, compare freelancers vs premium partners on accountability and documentation, check portfolio and delivery process, and insist on milestone-based contracts with source code ownership.
Three hiring paths
- Freelancer — low cost, high coordination risk
- Dev agency — structured but may lack product thinking
- Premium technology partner (e.g. Projonexa) — scoped delivery with documentation and handover
Questions to ask any developer
- Can you show similar shipped products?
- What is included in the quote — docs, deployment, maintenance?
- Who owns the source code?
- How are milestones and payments structured?
- What happens if timeline slips?
