How to Choose the Right Software
Development Company for Your Startup
In the fast-changing digital world, software development has become one of the most important
activities for businesses. It is a process that involves creating computer programs and other
tools needed to run software applications. It takes a lot of time, effort, and resources to build an
app or software as your business idea might be limited to just an idea at the moment. You need
to find the right software development company in Chennai that can help you create your
product efficiently and cost-effectively. Here are some tips on how you can choose the right
software development company for your startup.
What is software development?
Software is a set of instructions that help computers perform set tasks. It can be a mobile app,
web application, desktop software, or any other software that makes computers more effective.
The process of building software is known as software development. An important aspect of
software development is software testing, to ensure the product is bug-free before the customer
experience.
Ask for recommendations
If you know people who have recently used software development services, ask them for
recommendations. This is the easiest way to find out if a company is reliable and trustworthy. A
reputable company will have a list of happy customers who would be happy to recommend
them. You can also find online reviews and feedback on websites like Yelp or Google. Find out
the nature of feedback, if it is negative or positive, and if there are any recurring complaints.
Make sure you also check the credentials of the people who have provided the feedback.
Research the market
Research the market to find out the right software development company for your startup. You
can also use this as an opportunity to discover which kind of software is trending in your
industry. Start by checking online software directories such as Crunchbase and HackerRank.
Here, you’ll find information about different companies, their team members, and funding
details. You can also use search engine to look for the right development company for your
startup. You can use keywords like “best software development company in your city>” or “top
software companies in your city>” to find the right company. You can also check popular
software development blogs and magazines for recommendations. You can also reach out to
your network for recommendations.
Be clear on your requirements
Before reaching out to different development companies, be clear on your requirements. Write
down your requirements, including the type of product, the technology to be used, the functions
of the product, the audience the product is meant for, and the budget. Make sure that you are
specific while specifying your requirements. This will help you find the right software
development company for your startup. Also, include the time frame in which you want your
product to be ready. If you’re not sure about the best time frame to develop a product, you can
check out this article.
Ensure transparency throughout the development process
Before finalizing the software development company in Chennai for your startup, ensure
transparency throughout the development process. This means that you must be updated about
the progress of your product at all times. You can do this by setting up regular meetings with the
development team. Another way is to join online collaboration tools like Slack or Trello to track
the progress of your product. You can also ask the development team to send you regular
updates on the product. If a development team is open and honest with you, they will be more
likely to finish the product within the agreed time frame and budget.
Set a deadline for the demo and release
Once you’ve shortlisted a few development companies, set a deadline for the demo and
release. This is important for two reasons. First, it will make you more realistic about the product
and its timeline. Second, it will help you select the best software development company for your
startup. You may have seen a situation where you are in love with a product but the
development team is taking too long to deliver. You may have even experienced this yourself. A
deadline will help you avoid such situations. It is better to be realistic about the product and its
timeline than expecting a product that is not feasible.
Conclusion
Once you’ve hired a software development company, keep checking on their progress. Make
sure they are providing regular updates on the progress of your product. This will also help you
identify any issues or concerns early on and take appropriate action. If you have followed these
tips, you’re sure to find the right software development company for your startup.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental Health by ThinkNow, has 21 slides with 37009 views.Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits. To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups. Technology For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did. While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis. Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad. Age and Gender When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same. Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers. Race Affects Attitudes As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search Intent by Lily Ray, has 99 slides with 18625 views.1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework. 2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections. 3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.
