What Winner Software does

Winner Software Pvt. Ltd. is a Pune, India-based private software products and services company founded in 2011 with 11-50 employees. It operates a dual business: a portfolio of 11 proprietary vertical-specific products (Online/Offline Exam, HRMS, Patient Management System, School Mate, OnScreen Evaluation, E-Learning, Drone Aerial Land Survey, Grievance Management System, Digital University, Election Strategy Management System, Secure Printing) and a nine-offering services practice spanning custom development, UI/UX, web and mobile app development, staff augmentation, managed services, BI/IoT/AWS/SaaS, and QA testing. Technology foundations span the Microsoft .NET ecosystem, Java (Spring, Hibernate), Android/iOS, HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript/Angular/Bootstrap, and AWS (EC2, Elastic Beanstalk, RDS, S3), with stated investment in AI, ML, IoT, and Blockchain.

Go-to-market is sales-led via direct outreach (phone, email, website forms) supplemented by self-serve free trials for HRMS, School Mate, and Patient Management System through portal.winnersoft.co.in, and Google Play Store distribution for mobile apps.

Winner Software holds CMMI Level 5 Dev. Ver.3.0 appraisal alongside ISO 9001:2015, ISO 27001:2013, and ISO/IEC 20000-1:2011 certifications, and claims 60-70% development cost savings versus developed markets.
