An India-based PHP team, set up properly
Companies with PHP systems they cannot afford to break use Krapton as their PHP development company in India, staffed from our New Delhi headquarters. PHP developers are plentiful in India, and their experience ranges from hand-written procedural scripts to modern Laravel and Symfony architecture, which is exactly why vetting matters. Our teams are shaped by the work. Maintaining a legacy platform pairs a senior PHP engineer who reads old code carefully with a developer for bug fixes and a part-time database specialist for MySQL or MariaDB. Product builds on Laravel or Symfony add feature developers and QA. Every pull request passes PHPStan, coding-standard checks and the test suite before a person reviews it, and demos happen on a staging server during the overlap hours agreed with your team. Server credentials, Composer private package access and commercial licenses remain in your company’s name throughout.
PHP development services in India
Legacy PHP maintenance crew
A steady India-based crew that handles bug fixes, small features and security patches on older PHP platforms, adding characterization tests around every area it touches.
Laravel or Symfony specialists
Framework-matched developers: Eloquent, queues, Horizon and Livewire for Laravel teams, or Doctrine, Messenger and the Symfony console for Symfony teams, working inside your existing conventions.
PHP 8 upgrade squad
A focused team that moves an application to a supported PHP 8 release in planned steps, with Rector diffs and test results reviewed by your engineers at each stage.
Database and query work
A MySQL or MariaDB specialist joins when slow queries, missing indexes or schema changes on large tables need care, including online migrations with gh-ost or pt-online-schema-change.
Server and deployment upkeep
PHP-FPM, Nginx or Apache configuration, OPcache settings, cron jobs, queue supervisors and atomic releases with Deployer or your CI pipeline, documented for your operations staff.
Independent code review
Senior PHP reviewers inspect pull requests from your in-house developers or other vendors for security flaws, framework misuse and missing tests, writing findings directly into each PR.
Why an India-based PHP team from Krapton
Senior engineers, fixed scope, and code you own — the things agencies promise and rarely deliver.
Machines check before humans
PHPStan, PHP-CS-Fixer or PHP_CodeSniffer and the test suite run on every pull request, so human review time in the overlap window goes to design and business logic.
Engineers matched to code age
Old procedural PHP and modern framework code need different instincts; legacy systems are staffed with engineers comfortable reading code that has no tests or documentation.
Your servers, your licenses
SSH keys, hosting panels, Composer auth tokens and commercial licenses such as Adobe Commerce or premium plugins stay registered to your company, with access granted per engineer.
Clear written status
Each sprint report lists merged pull requests, open risks, upgrade progress and decisions waiting on you, so stakeholders who skip standups still know where things stand.
How we run PHP projects from India
01
Code and hosting review
Before proposing a team, we inspect the codebase, PHP version, framework, server setup and deployment method, because each one changes the skills required.
02
Team and overlap plan
You approve the team shape, interview the engineers, and agree standup times, review windows and escalation contacts against your working hours.
03
Reviewed delivery cycles
Every change arrives as a pull request with automated checks, a staging deploy and a short demo during overlap; database changes always get a separate review.
04
Handover with credentials
Runbooks, a dependency and license register, decision notes and recorded walkthroughs are delivered; credentials are then rotated and our server and repository access ends.

PHP development in India: questions answered
How do I vet a PHP development company in India for legacy work?
Give them your actual code, not a quiz. Ask the proposed engineers to read a messy file from your system and explain what it does, where SQL injection or XSS could slip in, and how they would test it before changing it. Then check their comfort with your PHP version and framework, their use of static analysis, and whether a senior engineer reviews every change.
Before we hire PHP developers in India, which contract terms matter?
Four terms matter most: an NDA signed before code access, an IP assignment covering all work product, a clear list of systems each engineer may touch, and a notice period that includes a handover obligation. Confirm that hosting accounts, domains, Composer private packages and paid licenses stay registered to you, and fix governing law and invoicing currency in the agreement.
How do overlap hours work for PHP maintenance?
A daily overlap window handles priorities and urgent bugs, and the rest of the work runs asynchronously. Gulf-based clients overlap with nearly all of the Indian day, London and Berlin line up with the Indian afternoon, and New York gets an early slot while California gets a late one. Production incidents follow an escalation path agreed at kickoff, with named contacts on both sides, instead of waiting for the next standup.
What team shape suits a PHP platform?
It depends on whether you are maintaining or building. Maintaining a legacy platform usually needs a senior PHP engineer, a developer for bug fixes and part-time database help. Building on Laravel or Symfony adds feature developers and QA. Upgrade projects run as a temporary squad that hands back to the maintenance crew once the platform sits on a supported PHP version.
How is a PHP system handed back to our team?
With documentation, recordings and a period of shared work. You receive runbooks for deploys, cron jobs and queue workers, a register of dependencies and licenses, notes on risky modules, and recorded walkthroughs. Your engineers shadow and then lead changes while ours review, and credentials are rotated once our access ends, so nothing depends on people who have left.
