Globally distributed. Locally compliant — in every Indian city.
Whether your India team works from Bangalore, Jaipur, Kochi, or Chandigarh, we ensure every remote employee is legally employed under Indian law — with correct city-level registrations, on-time payroll, and zero compliance gaps, no matter where they work from.
Your team works from anywhere. Indian law applies everywhere they are.
Remote-first companies love the flexibility India’s talent pool offers — engineers in Pune, finance staff in Ahmedabad, customer support in Jaipur. But each city comes with its own Shops & Establishment registration, professional tax rate, and local labour law nuances that most companies don’t know to account for.
We handle city-level compliance for every member of your distributed India team, so your employees are always legally employed in the city they’re working from — not just in the city where you first set things up.
Remote team compliance challenges — and how we solve them
Running a distributed India team surfaces compliance issues most remote-first companies discover only when something goes wrong. We address them before they become problems.
Multi-city compliance varies by state and municipality
India’s labour law compliance differs by state and city. Running a remote team across Bangalore, Mumbai, and Chennai means different Shops & Establishment registrations, professional tax rates, and municipal obligations. We manage each city’s requirements separately so you don’t have to.
Contractor vs. employee misclassification risk
Many remote-first companies start with contractors for flexibility. But in India, misclassification carries significant financial penalties and legal exposure. We help you structure each engagement correctly from the start — and manage both employees and contractors under the right framework.
Permanent establishment risk from informal arrangements
Employing workers in India through informal arrangements — direct payments, contractor agreements that look like employment — creates permanent establishment (PE) risk for your home-country business. Our proper EOR structure eliminates this exposure by ensuring the employment relationship is legally clean and clearly defined.
Everything your distributed India team needs
The remote teams solution combines employee and contractor management — so you can structure each India engagement the right way, regardless of how your team works.
Employer of Record
Legal employment for remote workers in any Indian city. City-level registrations, compliant contracts, and statutory benefits — wherever your employee works from.
Contractor Management
Compliant contractor agreements, payment processing, and classification guidance — for remote workers who genuinely need to stay on a contractor basis.
Payroll Management
On-time salary processing for employees and payments for contractors — consolidated across every Indian city your team works from, in a single monthly invoice.
HR & Compliance
City-specific Shops & Establishment registrations, PF, ESI, and TDS filings, plus a dedicated HR manager for your remote employees, available in their timezone.
Onboarding your remote India team — wherever they are
Our remote-team onboarding process is designed for the reality of distributed hiring — where your employees might be in different cities and you need compliance to follow them.
-
Tell us where your team members are located
Share each employee’s city of work along with their role and compensation. We map out the city-specific compliance requirements before we start onboarding anyone.
-
We handle city-level registrations & compliance setup
Shops & Establishment registrations, professional tax enrolments, and state-specific statutory requirements are set up for each city where you have employees. No action required from your side.
-
Remote onboarding within 48 hours
Compliant employment contracts are drafted and sent to each employee. PF, ESI, and health insurance are set up. Every employee receives a welcome kit and their payroll is configured — without them needing to be in a specific city or office.
-
Monthly payroll, anywhere in India
Each month we process payroll across all cities, file all applicable statutory returns, and send you a single consolidated invoice. If an employee relocates to a different Indian city, notify us and we update their compliance automatically.
