Can you migrate from Shopify / Magento 1 to Magento 2.4.9 in Pune?
Yes, we run these in pure IST with full in-person kickoff at Hinjawadi / Kharadi / Magarpatta / Chakan or remote on Google Meet. Typical timelines for Pune-region merchants: Magento 1 → Magento 2.4.9 takes 8-14 weeks, this is the most common ask for Chakan auto-parts merchants who built their original B2B catalogues on Magento 1 around 2014-2017; we use Magento’s Data Migration Tool for products / orders / customers, custom scripts for M1 module data, and full PHP 8.4 + MariaDB / MySQL 8 + OpenSearch upgrade. Shopify Plus → Magento 2.4.9 takes 6-10 weeks, cleaner because we’re going greenfield on the new Magento side; we map Shopify metafields to EAV attributes, ship VIN/fitment as a custom module, and handle Shopify-specific apps like Bold / Recharge / Klaviyo with direct equivalents. WooCommerce → Magento 2.4.9 takes 4-8 weeks. Hosting: default to Azure India South (Pune-local, sub-2ms), alternatives: AWS Mumbai (~5ms), Hyvä Cloud Mumbai, Cloudways Mumbai. URL preservation (301 redirects) is mandatory, we map every old URL to the new one to keep Google ranking equity.
