SERVING NEW YORK CITY • FINANCE, MEDIA & REAL ESTATE

Custom Software Development Company in New York City

Light Animation builds custom software, web applications, animation and digital marketing for New York City companies. Our US office in Hillside, New Jersey is a short trip from Manhattan, and our engineering team in India works hours that overlap the New York business day.

Software for How New York Businesses Actually Work

New York City runs on a mix of industries that rarely sit together anywhere else: banks, asset managers and fintech firms in Lower Manhattan and Midtown, publishers and agencies, fashion houses in the Garment District, landlords and property managers across all five boroughs, and a huge hospital and clinic network. Each of these has its own compliance rules, reporting cycles and customer expectations, and most of them outgrow generic SaaS tools faster than they expect.

Light Animation has been building software since 2010, starting in Jaipur, India. For New York clients we keep things simple: discovery and planning on video calls scheduled during your working day, a fixed scope with milestones, a demo every week, and a project manager who answers your messages before your morning stand-up. Because the developers are based in India, the same budget usually covers a larger, more experienced team than a Manhattan agency could offer.

We also run an animation studio, which helps New York firms that need to explain a product as well as build it. A fintech launching an app, a developer selling condos off-plan or a health startup onboarding patients can get the software, an explainer video and the launch campaign from one partner.

EXECUTIVE FAQ

FAQs: Custom Software Development in New York City

Everything you need to know about working with our senior team.

No. We do not have a New York City office. Our US office is in Hillside, New Jersey, which is close enough for an in-person meeting when one is needed. Day-to-day work happens on video calls, and development is done by our team in India.
Our project managers and lead developers keep part of their day aligned with Eastern Time, so you get live calls in your morning and replies the same business day. Work also continues while New York sleeps, which often shortens delivery time.
Cost is the main reason. Salaries and office costs in Manhattan are among the highest in the country, while our India-based engineers cost far less, so the same budget buys more development time. You still get a named project manager, weekly demos and full ownership of the code.
Most projects go live in 3 to 6 months. We often release a first working module within the first few weeks so your team can test it while the rest is built.
Our clients include Godrej Locks, Godrej Cartini, Saras Jaipur Dairy, Jaipur Traffic Police and Indian Wedding Saree. We can walk you through relevant examples on a call.
