Dropouts

What Dropouts does

Dropouts Technologies LLP is a Pune, India-based mobile application development studio operating since 2011 under a dual business model: it provides custom native mobile app development services to clients ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies across 18 industries, and it independently publishes and operates a portfolio of consumer mobile applications. The firm specializes in native iOS and Android development using Swift/SwiftUI and Kotlin/Compose, alongside AWS-architected cloud backends (Node.js, Python, MongoDB, PostgreSQL) and AI/ML features including on-device machine learning, computer vision, and LLM-powered workflows. Its service offering is structured as a four-stage engagement (Connect, Plan, Build, Launch) with weekly check-ins, fixed scope, and direct builder engagement rather than a sales-led model.

The company's technology depth spans contemporary platform APIs including SwiftUI, Combine, SwiftData, WidgetKit, Live Activities, App Intents, StoreKit 2, visionOS, RealityKit, Apple Intelligence, TipKit, App Clips, Swift Charts, Jetpack Compose, Material 3, Health Connect, CameraX, Credential Manager, WorkManager, Media3/ExoPlayer, AR Kit, Bluetooth LE, HealthKit, HomeKit, SiriKit, AVKit, and MapKit. It also routinely wires 33+ third-party integrations spanning payments (Stripe, Razorpay, Cashfree, PhonePe, Apple Pay, Google Pay), communications (Twilio, Agora, WhatsApp, Exotel), social platforms (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X), and infrastructure (AWS, Firebase, MongoDB). The own-app portfolio comprises eight named consumer products, including PDF is Love (PDF utilities), Easy GLP-1 Tracker (AI-driven GLP-1 medication tracking), Stop Scrolling (focus sessions), Uncluttered (distraction-free home screens), Walk to Unlock (step-gated social access), Vehicle Identifier (AI computer vision for vehicle recognition), Easy Unzip (file compression), and Sticky Notes Widget (home-screen widgets). Collectively these have achieved over 6.75M downloads across the App Store and Google Play.

The business operates as a privately held Indian Limited Liability Partnership with no disclosed external institutional funding and no disclosed M&A activity. The GTM motion is enterprise field sales with direct builder engagement and 48-hour response times; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Revenue is derived from professional services (project-based custom development) and subscription/recurring revenue (in-app purchases and subscriptions on the own-app portfolio). The firm lists two named executives: Omkar Jadhav (Founder) and Girish Hoondlani (COO). No patents, regulatory actions, leadership changes, funding rounds, or restructuring events have been disclosed in the available source material.
