Hire in India without
the entity overhead
Get your first India hire under contract within 48 hours. No subsidiary, no compliance setup, no local HR infrastructure — just a fast, legally sound employment arrangement that lets you focus entirely on building your product.
Your first India hire — legally done, in days not months
Registering an Indian Pvt. Ltd. or LLP takes 4–6 months and costs upward of ₹3 lakh before your first employee even starts. With Neeva Technologies, we become the legal employer on record — you avoid the setup entirely and can make offers the same week you decide to expand.
Our startup solution is deliberately lean: EOR, payroll, and statutory compliance, all bundled into one monthly fee per employee with no long-term lock-in. When you're ready to grow from 1 hire to 10, the infrastructure scales with you.
The India hiring hurdles startups face — and how we clear them
Expanding to India is a strong move for most startups. The barriers to getting started are predictable — and removable.
No Indian entity — and no time to build one
Setting up an Indian Pvt. Ltd. or LLP takes 4–6 months and significant legal fees. Neeva Technologies is already the registered entity — your hire can start this week.
Indian compliance is complex and penalties are real
PF, ESI, TDS, gratuity, professional tax, state-level labour laws — errors trigger financial penalties and reputational risk. We own every filing and make sure nothing is missed.
Founders don't have bandwidth for HR admin
At the startup stage, every hour counts. Adding an India HR setup project to your plate — payroll software, compliance calendar, benefits admin — costs focus you can't spare. We handle all of it.
Everything your startup needs to hire and pay in India
The startup solution is built around three core services — no add-ons required for your first India hires.
Employer of Record
We are the legal employer. You direct the work. Employment contracts, statutory enrolment, and exit paperwork all handled by us.
Payroll Management
On-time salary processing, statutory deductions, payslips, and a single monthly invoice in your currency — no surprises.
HR & Compliance
Leave management, PF/ESI filings, TDS remittance, Form 16 issuance, and a dedicated HR manager for your employees.
From decision to first day in four steps
Our onboarding process is designed to be fast and founder-friendly — minimal time from your side, maximum speed on ours.

Employee onboarded & enrolled in 48 hours
PF, ESI, health insurance, and benefits are set up. Your hire receives a welcome kit and their payroll is configured within two business days of signing.

Monthly payroll & compliance — on autopilot
Each month we process payroll, file statutory returns, and send you a single consolidated invoice. Your HR manager is available if any employee questions come up.
