Case study · Startup · Australia
Built in Australia.Hired in India.No entity needed.
A startup in Australia wanted great people from India on the team. They did not have an Indian company. We became the employer, so they could stay focused on building.

The challenge
Great people. No way to employ them.
The founders found the people they wanted in India. The next step was the hard one. To employ someone in India, you need an employer in India: contracts, payroll, tax and statutory filings, done properly every month.
Setting up their own Indian company would have taken time, money and attention. For a startup, attention is the scarcest thing there is. Every hour on paperwork is an hour not spent on the product.
What we did
We became the employer. They kept the team.
The founders chose the people and lead the work. We took on everything about being the employer in India.
Offer letters
Each new hire got an offer letter with the title, salary and start date. Sent and signed through the portal, with the signed copy kept on file.
Document checks
New hires typed in their own details through a secure link and uploaded their documents. We checked every detail against the documents.
Pay runs
Every month we work out the pay and a second person checks it. The founders approve it, and the team is paid on time.
Tax and statutory items
Income tax, provident fund and the other statutory items, paid and filed on time, with proof kept.
Reporting
The whole team, every pay run, net pay and employer cost, all in the partner portal whenever they want to look.
A person to talk to
One named contact for the founders and for the team. A real person, not a ticket queue.
The portals
Everything in one place. For both sides.
No spreadsheets going back and forth. No chasing anyone for a payslip.
For the team in India

Read every payslip, see how each line was worked out, ask for leave and keep personal details up to date.

Peace of mind on pay day. Time back for building.
Pay runs on time
Every month, checked twice and approved before anything is paid.
Comfort for the founders
Employment in India is handled properly, so it is one less thing to worry about.
Focus where it counts
Their time goes into the product and the team, not into Indian payroll and paperwork.
They build. We enable.
That is the deal. The startup does the building. We do the employing, the paying and the paperwork in India, so they can.
