Offshore Software Development for Qatar Businesses
Doha is 2.5 hours behind India, and Qatar works Sunday to Thursday. We plan around that. We build portals, apps and business systems for Qatari companies, with Arabic and English interfaces, QAR invoicing and Qatar's data protection law in the contract.
Your Offshore Engineering Partner in Qatar
Hiring a senior developer in Doha means salary, accommodation allowances, residence permits and recruitment fees, and the right person may not be available at all. Many Qatari organisations just need a capable team for a defined project, such as a portal, a mobile app or an internal system. Offshore delivery covers that without a long hiring plan. And with only 2.5 hours between Doha and India, you aren't losing days to time zones.

What we usually build for teams in Qatar
In Qatar we mostly see corporate and institutional work: bilingual company websites, customer and supplier portals, booking and ticketing tools for hospitality and sports events, learning platforms for education, and dashboards for energy and public-sector teams. Many of these projects have more than one stakeholder and a formal approval route, so we write things down: scope, milestones, sign-offs. That makes it easier to move a project through procurement.
Working hours with Qatar
Doha is 2.5 hours behind India and the Qatari working week runs Sunday to Thursday. We schedule our team to the Qatari week and agree cover for Indian holidays in advance. When it's 8 am in Doha, it's 10:30 am here. A short stand-up at the start of your day, a weekly demo and a shared board cover most things. During Ramadan we adjust meeting times to your shorter hours.
Contracts and data handling
In Qatar, personal data is governed by Law No. 13 of 2016 on Personal Data Privacy Protection. Organisations in the Qatar Financial Centre follow the QFC's own data protection regulations, and sector regulators may add requirements. Cross-border transfers need safeguards and, in some cases, notice to individuals. We sign an NDA, an IP assignment and a data processing agreement before work starts, restrict access to named engineers, and can host in a Qatar-based cloud region if your policy asks for it. We aren't lawyers, so your adviser confirms the rules that apply. We build to match.
Pricing in QAR
Quotes are in QAR or USD. Dedicated senior engineers are about $25 to $45 an hour. A bilingual corporate website commonly starts near $4,000, and a portal or app MVP typically sits between $15,000 and $55,000. Quotations show scope, milestones, payment terms and how long the price is valid, in a format your finance team can approve. Tax treatment depends on your entity, so ask your accountant.
How a project starts
We start with a call and a short list of questions: who uses it, which languages, which approvals you need internally, what the deadline is. Then a written quotation with scope, milestones and price in QAR or USD. After NDA and contract, kickoff is usually one to two weeks later. Bilingual screens show up early so your team can review both versions before they're locked.

FAQs — Offshore Development for Qatar
Can you build bilingual Arabic and English products?
Yes. We build right-to-left layouts, Arabic typography and a bilingual content structure. We don't write Arabic marketing copy ourselves. That comes from your team or a translator, and we make sure editing both languages is simple.
Which data law applies in Qatar?
Law No. 13 of 2016 on Personal Data Privacy Protection applies to personal data in Qatar. The Qatar Financial Centre has its own data protection regulations, and sector rules add to both. We sign a data processing agreement and limit access. Your legal adviser confirms which regime applies to you.
Can you provide quotations that suit our procurement process?
We provide written quotations with scope, milestones, payment terms and validity, in QAR or USD. If your procurement team needs a particular template, send it over and we'll fill it in.
What are your working hours compared with Doha?
