AI & Software Development Company Serving France
Anovayx Technology Pvt Ltd delivers GDPR/RGPD-compliant AI solutions, custom software, and digital transformation for French businesses in Paris, Lyon, and Marseille.
Anovayx Technology Pvt Ltd builds custom software, web platforms and AI systems for French companies from Gurugram, India, with around six hours of live overlap with Paris each working day. French engagements are set up around RGPD requirements — a contrat de sous-traitance under Art. 28, Standard Contractual Clauses for the India transfer, and EU-region hosting in Paris or Frankfurt — plus RGAA accessibility where the product is public-facing. Fixed-scope projects run from about €9,000 to €74,000 and above.
Working hours against Paris time
India Standard Time is 4.5 hours ahead of CET and 3.5 hours ahead of CEST. An Anovayx team on an extended shift to 8:00 PM IST covers roughly 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM in Paris — about six hours of live overlap, comfortably spanning the French working morning and early afternoon. Standups are scheduled at 10:00 AM Paris time and sprint reviews before the 12:30 PM lunch break rather than across it. The August holiday period is planned into the sprint calendar at kickoff, since it materially affects client-side availability for review and sign-off.
What software development costs for a French client
Indicative ranges for fixed-scope work. Anovayx quotes in USD; euro figures are approximate. As a non-EU supplier, invoices carry no French TVA — the client self-assesses under the autoliquidation reverse-charge rules.
| Engagement | What it covers | Cost (USD) | Local equivalent | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Proof of concept / MVP | Single-platform app, one integration, up to ~8 core screens | $10,000 – $25,000 | ≈ €9,000 – €23,000 | 6 – 10 weeks |
| Production platform | Web + mobile, multi-role access, payments, third-party integrations | $25,000 – $80,000 | ≈ €23,000 – €74,000 | 3 – 6 months |
| Enterprise / AI system | Custom ML or LLM pipeline, data platform, SSO, compliance audit trail | $80,000+ | ≈ €74,000+ | 6 months+ |
RGPD, RGAA and French sector rules
France applies the GDPR through its own Loi Informatique et Libertés and the CNIL enforces it actively, with published guidance that goes beyond the base regulation. Two French-specific requirements catch offshore projects most often: health data hosting certification, and public-sector accessibility.
- RGPD + Loi Informatique et Libertés
- A contrat de sous-traitance under Art. 28 naming purposes, retention, sub-processors and security measures, aligned to CNIL guidance.
- EU Standard Contractual Clauses
- Module 2 controller-to-processor SCCs plus a Transfer Impact Assessment, required because India has no EU adequacy decision.
- HDS (Hébergeur de Données de Santé)
- French health data must be hosted by an HDS-certified provider. Anovayx deploys such workloads to HDS-certified regions of AWS or OVHcloud rather than general-purpose hosting.
- RGAA 4.1
- The French accessibility standard for public-sector and publicly-funded services, tested during QA alongside WCAG 2.2 AA.
- ANSSI / SecNumCloud awareness
- For sensitive public-sector work, architecture designed to sit on SecNumCloud-qualified infrastructure where the client's tender requires it.
Contracting and payment for French clients
French clients sign a mutual NDA, a master services agreement, a per-project statement of work and a contrat de sous-traitance with the SCCs annexed. Invoices are issued in USD or EUR and settled by SEPA or SWIFT transfer with no French TVA, under the autoliquidation reverse-charge rules. Intellectual property, source code and repository ownership transfer to the client on final payment, and user-facing content and documentation can be delivered in French.
France — frequently asked questions
Is offshore development in India compliant with RGPD?
Yes, when the transfer is properly documented. India has no EU adequacy decision, so an Anovayx Technology Pvt Ltd engagement runs on a contrat de sous-traitance under Art. 28 RGPD plus Module 2 Standard Contractual Clauses and a Transfer Impact Assessment. Anovayx also defaults to hosting in AWS Paris or Frankfurt with logged remote access, so in many projects no personal data leaves the EU.
Where must French health data be hosted?
With an HDS-certified host — Hébergeur de Données de Santé certification is a legal requirement for personal health data in France, and general-purpose cloud hosting does not satisfy it. Anovayx Technology Pvt Ltd deploys French health workloads to HDS-certified regions of AWS or OVHcloud and designs access controls so that development never touches production health records.
What is RGAA and does my website need to comply?
RGAA 4.1 is the French accessibility standard, mandatory for public-sector bodies and publicly-funded services and increasingly expected of large private companies. Anovayx Technology Pvt Ltd tests against RGAA alongside WCAG 2.2 AA during QA, covering keyboard navigation, screen-reader semantics, contrast and form labelling, and supplies the declaration of conformity where the client must publish one.
How much does a custom software project cost in France?
French ESN and agency rates commonly run €500–€900 per day. Anovayx Technology Pvt Ltd delivers comparable scope at roughly €9,000–€23,000 for a proof of concept, €23,000–€74,000 for a production platform, and above €74,000 for enterprise or AI systems — typically 50% to 70% below a French quote for the same specification.
Do I pay TVA on an invoice from an Indian software company?
No French TVA appears on the invoice. Because Anovayx Technology Pvt Ltd is established outside the EU, a French business client self-assesses the VAT under the autoliquidation reverse-charge rules and recovers it in the same return where entitled. Invoices are issued in USD or EUR with the reverse charge stated.
How many hours per day does the team overlap with Paris?
About six. India Standard Time is 4.5 hours ahead of CET and 3.5 ahead of CEST, and Anovayx runs French accounts on an extended shift to 8:00 PM IST, covering roughly 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM Paris time. Standups sit at 10:00 AM and sprint reviews before the lunch break rather than across it.
