What changes when it is government & public sector

A PWA earns its place when app-store distribution is friction rather than help, internal tools, field applications, anything where you would rather send a link than ask for an install.

In government & public sector, procurement, data sovereignty and accessibility obligations shape the architecture before anything else. That single fact reshapes how progressive web app development has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is multilingual service delivery, usually integrated against grievance platforms. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.

Multi-model by default, so a provider outage is a routing decision rather than an incident. You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

Questions from this sector

Can AI systems be procured under GeM?

Yes, and we structure deliverables to fit standard procurement categories and evaluation criteria.

Does it work in regional languages?

It has to. Public services in India are multilingual by obligation, and we build for that rather than adding translation later.

PWA or native app?

PWA when distribution friction matters more than deep hardware access, and when you want one codebase serving web and mobile. Native when you need background processing, rich notifications on iOS, or hardware the browser cannot reach.

Do PWAs work on iPhone?

Partially. Installation and offline work; some notification and background capabilities are limited or behave differently. We assess your specific requirements before recommending it.

Can it work with no signal?

Yes. That is the core design. Data is cached, actions queue locally, and sync happens when connectivity returns with defined conflict handling.
