About WakeUp Monster
Who founded WakeUp Monster?
WakeUp Monster was founded in 2024 by Rajat Khoware. Before starting the agency, Rajat was a senior developer at an established agency, and our first client left that agency to work with him directly. He is still the single point of contact for every client, makes the architecture decisions and signs off every deliverable.
Where is WakeUp Monster based?
WakeUp Monster is based in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India, and works remote-first with clients in other countries. The registered business is WAKEUP MONSTER TECHNOLOGIES LLP, a limited liability partnership. You can reach the team through our contact page, at info@wakeupmonster.com or +91 7724986116, in English or Hindi.
How big is the WakeUp Monster team?
WakeUp Monster has a team of 10+ people covering UI/UX design, Flutter and full-stack development, backend, testing, content, marketing and video production. Project teams are sized to the work: our largest app, Keen as Mustard, a Sydney dating app, had a 6-person team, while the DESA Consulting website was built by 4 people.
Which countries does WakeUp Monster work with?
WakeUp Monster's clients so far are in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia. We also work with founders in the UAE, the UK and India, which is our home market. Projects run remote-first: the founder is your single point of contact, you get weekly progress updates and test builds on your own phone, and we ask clients to reply within 24-48 hours.
Which projects has WakeUp Monster delivered?
WakeUp Monster has three detailed case studies. Keen as Mustard, a Sydney dating app, was delivered on time in 6 months; the client paused the store launch for personal reasons. Lalah, a halal food discovery app, is development complete and on hold after the client's investor pulled out. The DESA Consulting website is live.
What we build
What does WakeUp Monster build?
WakeUp Monster builds mobile apps for iOS and Android in Flutter, websites in React and WordPress, and the backends and admin panels behind them. We also offer UI/UX design in Figma, AI feature integration and AI workflow automation, digital marketing and video production, so one team can take a product from idea to launch and beyond.
Do you design the app as well as build it?
Yes. WakeUp Monster's lead UI/UX designer designs every screen in Figma, from user journeys and wireframes to high-fidelity designs and a design system, and no code is written until you sign the design off. Brand identity and logo design are available as part of app projects, as on Keen as Mustard's mid-project rebrand.
Do you build websites as well as apps?
Yes. WakeUp Monster builds websites in React and WordPress, including landing pages, booking and form integrations, WooCommerce stores and an SEO foundation. For DESA Consulting, a Melbourne medical centre, we built a 12-page WordPress and Elementor healthcare website with HotDoc online booking in under three months. It is live and takes patient bookings.
Does WakeUp Monster build AI products?
WakeUp Monster integrates AI features into apps, websites and business workflows, such as support assistants, content tools and automated processes. We do not build or train AI or machine learning models, and we are not an AI company. Our AI development and AI automation pages explain how we scope this kind of work.
Which technologies does WakeUp Monster use?
WakeUp Monster builds apps in Flutter and Dart, websites and admin panels in React and WordPress, and backends in Node.js and Laravel, hosted on AWS with Firebase for real-time features, analytics and push notifications. Design happens in Figma. Integrations in our client work include RevenueCat subscriptions, Google Maps and HotDoc online booking.
What doesn't WakeUp Monster do?
WakeUp Monster does not take on blockchain, Web3 or crypto projects, AI or machine learning model building, game development, enterprise ERP systems, quick-fix jobs or templated apps. We also turn down projects without a clear business objective. If your project falls outside what we do well, we say so on the first call.
Working with us
Who will I talk to during the project?
You talk to Rajat Khoware, WakeUp Monster's founder, from the first call to launch. There is no sales team in between. Rajat runs the discovery call himself, makes the architecture decisions and reviews every deliverable before it reaches you, so you always have one person who knows the whole project.
How do clients usually find WakeUp Monster?
Every WakeUp Monster client so far has come through a referral or a personal connection, and no project has been delivered late. Our first client, DESA Consulting, a medical centre in Melbourne, moved to us after working with Rajat Khoware at his previous agency, and later came back for a second engagement.
How soon will I get a proposal?
WakeUp Monster sends a proposal within 3-5 days of the free discovery call. It sets out the scope, timeline and milestones, together with a user story document describing what each type of user can do in the product. If we are not the right fit for your project, we tell you on the call instead.
Do I need designs or a specification before contacting you?
No. You can come to WakeUp Monster with only an idea; our startup MVP development work starts from exactly that. The discovery call and the user story document turn that idea into a clear scope, and design in Figma is a dedicated step in our process. If you already have designs or a specification, we review them and build on what is there.
After launch
Can WakeUp Monster help market the app?
Yes. WakeUp Monster offers digital marketing and video production alongside development, including Meta Ads, Google Ads, App Store Optimization, SEO and content, social media, ad creatives, promo videos and app demo recordings. Marketing is optional and can start before launch: Keen as Mustard's React landing page, for example, collected 500+ pre-launch signups. Store submission, handover and bug-fix support are covered in what happens after launch.
Can you take over an app another team started?
Sometimes. WakeUp Monster first reviews the existing code, design and backend, then tells you honestly what state the project is in and whether we should continue it, fix parts of it or start again. We only agree a scope and timeline once that review is complete, so there are no surprises later.
