An India team withoutrunning an India business.
We help overseas companies build a team in India, from the first hire to a full operating centre.
Overview
Many overseas companies want people in India without setting up and running a whole business there. We build that for you, in stages, so you only take on what you need.
Three ways to start
Employer of Record
Start hiring now, with no entity.
Subsidiary
Your own Indian company, once the team justifies it.
Offshore centre
A larger team for a function like engineering, support or finance operations.
What we set up
Entity, workspace, hiring, payroll, laptops and compliance, planned together. We'll also tell you honestly when staying on Employer of Record a while longer is the better choice.
4 steps, start to finish.
Plan
Roles, timeline and the right structure.
Start small
First hires, a desk and payroll.
Scale
More people, a bigger space, your own entity if it makes sense.
Move across
Transfer the team to your entity without a gap.

Questions we hear
Is this the same as outsourcing?
No. These are your people, doing your work, under your direction. We handle the legal, payroll and operating setup around them.
Do we need our own company from the start?
Not necessarily. Many clients begin on Employer of Record and move to their own subsidiary once the team has grown.
How quickly can a team be set up?
It depends on the size and the roles. We give you a realistic plan, including hiring time, before you commit.
Who manages the team day to day?
You do, or the leaders you appoint. Our HR Business Partner service can support them if you'd like.
How is our confidential information protected?
Employment agreements include confidentiality and IP assignment from day one, and our IT team can set up secure access to your systems.
How many people before an entity makes sense?
There's no single number. It depends on cost, control and plans. We'll model it with you.
Can we move people from EOR to our entity?
Yes, with their service history carried over.
