Most survey projects need configuration, not a new codebase

If you are looking for a survey app development company, it helps to know what you are really buying. Bharat Survey is not a general app agency that writes a new app for each client. We run an offline, GPS-verified Android survey platform and configure it for your project: forms, roles, geography, verification rules, dashboards and exports. For research teams, NGOs, departments and campaigns, that usually means a working field app in weeks, with the hard parts already tested.

Our view

Branding

Inside the platform, your account carries your organisation's name, your forms, your consent text and your terminology in Hindi or English. Respondents hear your introduction, not ours.

A fully white-labelled app published on the Play Store under your own brand, with your own app name and icon, is not part of version 1. If your tender or donor requires it, tell us early so we can discuss options and timelines honestly rather than promise them.

Your identity in v1

  • Organisation name in the account
  • Your consent and intro text
  • Your form language and terms
  • Not yet: separate branded Play Store app
Campaigns

Campaign app requests often bundle several very different products. We cover the field operations part.

Booths, workers and surveys

Booth master, committees, panna pramukh roles, daily booth reports, verified surveys and a war room board. This is what Bharat Survey does.
  • Offline Android
  • War room board
  • Polling-day turnout

Decision aid

Ask any developer

  • Show offline sync with a dropped network
  • Show how a fake GPS location is detected
  • What happens when a form changes mid-round?
  • Who maintains the app after polling day?

Data and law

  • Is voter roll data involved, and on what basis?
  • Where is data hosted and who can export it?
  • How is data deleted after the contract?
  • Play Store location policy compliance

Fit for Bharat Survey

  • You need field surveys and booth organisation
  • Android devices are fine
  • Neutral, consent-based data collection
  • You want a pilot in weeks
Leaders

Leader view on the phone

A read-only view of today's activity, booth progress and alerts, in Hindi or English, without logging into a laptop.

Proof of work by booth

Surveys labelled in area, near boundary, outside, poor signal or mock GPS, so a leader sees where work actually happened.

Booth organisation

Committees and ratings for every booth with reasons and history, reviewed by the campaign office.

Neutral and isolated

Each client's data is isolated. Bharat Survey is politically neutral and does not share data between accounts.

Not the right fit if

  • You need an iOS app
  • You want a consumer or supporter-facing app
  • You need bulk messaging, IVR or social media tools
  • You want to own and host the source code

A good fit if

  • Field surveys, audits and inspections
  • Election booth organisation and war rooms
  • Offline work on low-end Android
  • Teams that want a pilot in weeks

FAQ

Straight answers to the questions people ask most about this topic.

Do we get the source code?

No. Bharat Survey is a licensed platform, not a commissioned build. You own your data and can export it at any time as CSV, Excel or PDF. If source code ownership is a hard requirement, a custom development agency is a better fit.

Can you add a feature we need?

Tell us the requirement. Some needs are met by configuration, such as forms, roles or exports. Others may already be planned, and some are outside the product. We will say which, and will not promise a date we cannot keep.

How long does setup take?

A pilot with a tested form, assigned areas and a few seats can usually start within weeks. Timelines depend mainly on questionnaire review, geography data and how quickly your team tests on phones.

Is there an iPhone version?

No. Version 1 is Android only, because almost all field staff and volunteers in India use Android phones. The web panel works in any modern browser.
