01 — Local economy

Business in Bhubaneswar

Odisha's capital combines government with a growing IT, education and medical base: Infocity at Patia hosts software and back-office firms, and KIIT, AIIMS, IIT Bhubaneswar and large private hospitals draw students and patients from across the state. The headquarters of NALCO and of mining and metal companies working Odisha's iron-ore, bauxite and chromite belts bring contractors and engineering services, and the Lingaraj and other temples attract pilgrims.

Also known as Bhubaneshwar.

Where software helps: Private hospitals and diagnostic centres drawing patients from across Odisha must manage insurance and state health-scheme claims, pharmacy stock and doctor-wise revenue sharing across departments and branches.

05 — FAQ

Custom software in Bhubaneswar: common questions

Do you build custom ERP and AI software for businesses in Bhubaneswar?

Yes. Our studio is in Jaipur, 1,260 km away, and we work with Bhubaneswar businesses over video calls in normal Indian working hours, with working software every two weeks.

Can a custom ERP handle GST in Odisha?

Yes. Invoices raised in Odisha carry GST state code 21, with CGST and SGST on sales within the state and IGST on sales to other states. A custom ERP generates e-invoices through the IRP and e-way bills, as our own SteelERP does.

Can your AI agents talk to customers in Odia, English and Hindi?

For English and Hindi, yes: current language models handle them well, including mixed-language messages. Support for Odia is more limited, so we test with real customer messages before committing to it, and route anything the agent is unsure about to your team.

What would a first project look like for a technology business?

Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For technology & startups that is often subscription billing and project & time tracking. It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
