About us

Bright ideas, working in the real world

We are a software company from India that builds for the people doing the work: health workers in villages, officers in district offices, reps on the road and HR teams in growing organisations.

Our story

Software with a smile

Smiling Brains Software Solutions started by building a field-force and distribution system for a pharma company, and found its calling in software that has to work far from the office: on cheap phones, on patchy networks, in many languages.

Since then we have built disease-monitoring platforms for public health programmes, offline reporting apps for community health mobilisation, citizen-service apps for local government and, most recently, SmileHub: our own modular HR and operations platform.

Our logo is a lightbulb shaped like a brain, with every ray naming something we hold ourselves to. That's the standard on every project, big or small.

Our values

What every project stands on

Straight from the rays of our logo.

Smart

We design for the real constraints: patchy networks, busy field staff, tight budgets.

Precise

Data that adds up. Validations, audit trails and reports that stand up to scrutiny.

Dynamic

Configurable forms, workflows and modules, so the software bends to the programme.

Fluent

Built for India: multilingual interfaces, GST, statutory rules and local hosting.

Robust

Offline-first apps, role-based access, two-factor sign-in and tested releases.

Agile

Short cycles, early demos and a team that stays with you after go-live.
