Los Angeles builds audiences for a living. Streaming platforms, production houses, DTC brands that grew up on Instagram, creators running real payroll off a phone — the city ships content and commerce at a volume most markets never see. GTS Infosoft builds the software behind businesses like these: video apps, storefronts, fan platforms and the internal tools that keep them running, from our studio in India, at rates starting near USD 20 an hour.
We're not going to pretend we're a Culver City agency, because we're not — we're an offshore team that has organized its day around yours. Our engineers run an early shift that lands on roughly 8 to 11 AM Pacific, so standups happen live and questions get answered while you're still at your desk. A US point of contact in Kirkland, Washington handles contracts and coordination.
The math is the argument. A senior developer in LA costs USD 150K a year or more — higher still with entertainment-tech experience — and local agencies price to match. We charge a fraction of that for engineers backed by 16 years of studio history: 250-plus apps shipped, 100-plus clients, ISO 9001:2015 process on every project. Plenty of our clients put the difference straight into marketing.

What We Build for Los Angeles Companies
Streaming and video apps
Subscription video, live playback, watch-party features and content management back ends — built in React, Node.js and AWS to survive a launch-day spike.
DTC and e-commerce apps
Mobile storefronts, loyalty programs and headless commerce front ends for brands that sell direct. Flutter or React Native so iOS and Android ship together.
Creator platforms
Fan subscriptions, paid communities, tipping and merch drops — the monetization plumbing behind a creator business, with clean payout logic.
AI-driven media features
Content tagging, recommendations and search built with Python and OpenAI, so your catalog actually gets found instead of scrolled past.
Internal tools and dashboards
Production trackers, campaign dashboards and ops tools on PostgreSQL and MongoDB — unglamorous software that saves teams whole days.
Why LA Teams Work With GTS
A rate LA can't match
Senior offshore engineering from around USD 20 an hour. An LA agency bills USD 100–200 for the same seniority; an in-house hire costs more again.
Live Pacific overlap
Our early shift gives you about three hours of real-time collaboration every morning — enough for standup, review and any decision that can't wait.
Actual seniority
Architects and senior engineers stay on your build from kickoff to handover. No bait-and-switch to juniors after the contract's signed.
ISO 9001:2015 process
Documented requirements, traceable testing, written handovers — process your legal and ops people can file, not just take on faith.
Industries We Know in Los Angeles
Entertainment and streaming
OTT apps, screener portals and audience analytics for a city where content is the product and release windows don't move.
DTC and e-commerce brands
LA's direct-to-consumer scene runs on speed. We build the storefronts, subscription engines and retention tooling behind it.
Aerospace and space tech
The El Segundo–Long Beach corridor needs internal platforms too: test-data dashboards, supplier portals and scheduling tools, built to spec.
Healthtech
Patient-facing apps and clinic tooling for LA's sprawling health systems, with the data-handling care that field demands.
Creator economy and fintech
Payout systems, brand-deal marketplaces and creator banking features — where LA's media DNA meets financial software.
How We Work Across Time Zones
Mornings are live
From about 8 AM Pacific you have engineers on Slack and video for roughly three hours — standups, demos and quick calls all happen in real time.
Afternoons are async
Notes you leave at 4 PM are answered by the time you're back — our next shift picks them up while LA sleeps.
Nothing hides in chat
Decisions land in shared boards and written summaries, so the project's state is readable at any hour, not trapped in someone's DMs.
Demos every sprint
You see working software on a call every sprint, recorded for anyone who missed it. Progress is shown, not described.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have an office in Los Angeles?
No. We're an India-based studio and we serve LA clients remotely — that's exactly why the rate is USD 20 an hour instead of USD 150. A US point of contact in Kirkland, Washington handles contracts, and our shift overlaps your mornings.
How does your pricing compare to LA agencies?
LA agencies commonly bill USD 100–200 an hour; senior in-house hires cost USD 150K-plus a year. Our senior rates start around USD 20 an hour, itemized in a fixed estimate before work begins.
Can you build video and streaming features?
Yes — playback, subscriptions, content management and recommendation systems, on React, Node.js and AWS. We architect for launch spikes, because in LA a launch is a publicity event and downtime makes the wrong kind of headline.
Is three hours of daily overlap enough?
For most teams, yes. Standup, review and decisions fit inside the live window, and everything else moves async with written updates. Clients who've used offshore teams with zero overlap notice the difference immediately.
Who owns the code and IP?
You do, fully. NDAs are signed before we see anything, IP assignment is written into the contract, and source lives in repositories you control from day one.
What clients say
“I love working with Nav, he is always flexible and open to suggestions. Great delivery, great quality. Thanks again.”
“Navratan and his team made the app exactly as we wanted/hoped and were great about making any changes we requested along the way. It really looks perfect and we couldn't be happier!”
