Payroll and compliance

Salaries, statutory deductions and filings in India, on our payroll.

Management and supervision

A lead on the floor day to day, and a director accountable for the account.

Office and infrastructure

A seat in our Kolkata office, inside our ISO/IEC 27001:2022 controls.

IT security

Role based access, logging, and access revoked on the last day.

HR and retention

Leave, reviews, growth and the conversations that keep people.

/ Scope

Six kinds of team, one accountable director.

01

Software engineering

Engineers who work inside your repositories and your sprint, on your roadmap rather than a separate one.

02

QA and testing

Testers who own quality as a function rather than a phase at the end of a release.

03

DevOps and infrastructure

The people who keep deployment, monitoring and environments working while your engineers build.

04

Data and reporting

Engineers and analysts who turn what your systems collect into something a business can act on.

05

Design and frontend

Designers and frontend engineers working to your design system rather than inventing a second one.

06

Team lead and delivery management

A lead inside the team when you want structure without adding a management layer.

/ The people

Named people. Not a pool.

/ Getting started

From brief to a working team, usually in two to four weeks.

  1. 01

    Brief

    You tell us the roles, the stack, the seniority and the hours.

  2. 02

    Shortlist

    We recruit and screen, then send you a shortlist.

  3. 03

    You interview

    You interview, you decide. No substitutions without your agreement.

  4. 04

  5. 05

    We run the employer

    Payroll, compliance, the office, hardware, internet and HR.

  6. 06

    You direct the work

    Your tracker, your repositories, your chat, your ceremonies.

/ How it works

Your process, not ours imposed on you.

01

Your tracker, repositories and chat

They work in the tools your team already uses. Nothing is mirrored into a system of ours.

02

Your ceremonies and reporting

Your standups, sprint reviews and reporting cadence. They join yours rather than running their own.

03

Your definition of done

Work is finished when it meets your standard, not a generic checklist of ours.

04

Onboarded inside two weeks

With a named replacement process from day one, so a departure never stalls the work.

15Floors up,
in Sector V.

Two units in Ecostation Business Tower, in the centre of Kolkata's technology district.

  1. 1

    ISO/IEC 27001:2022

    Inside our certified controls.

    Your team works inside the same information security controls as every engagement we run.

  2. 2

    Access controlled

    A floor kept for our people.

    Entry to the floor is controlled, so your work stays with the people assigned to it.

  3. 3

    Power and internet

    Backup on both.

    Power and internet backup, so an outage outside is not an outage for your team.

  4. 4

    UK, US and Gulf hours

    Working in your time zone.

    Hours are set to overlap your working day, so your team is online when you are.

/ Comparison

Three ways to build a team in India.

Not sure which fits? Tell us the roles and how long you need them, and we will say honestly whether managed or a direct hire makes more sense.

/ Engagement

Three ways in. Start small.

01

Pilot

One process or a small team, fixed term, fixed price. Long enough to see whether it works, short enough that it does not matter if it does not.

What this means

  • Start here if you have not outsourced before, or not to us
  • You commit to a fixed term, typically three months
  • You get the work done, and a written review at the end

02

Managed team

Named people at a monthly rate, working to your roadmap inside your process.

What this means

  • Start here if the work is ongoing and you want control over how it is done
  • You commit to a monthly rate and a notice period
  • You get the same people, month after month

03

Managed outcome

Priced per unit of work rather than per head. We decide how many people it takes, you pay for what gets delivered.

What this means

  • Start here if you care about the output, not the headcount
  • You commit to a volume and a service level
  • You get the outcome, with the staffing risk on us

/ Security and compliance

Built to be audited, not just trusted.

Information security

Access to your systems and data is role restricted and logged, and every engagement runs inside the same controls.

ISO/IEC 27001:2022Role-based accessAccess loggingMutual NDA before discovery

Process maturity

Appraised at the highest level there is. Your project runs on defined process rather than on individual heroics.

CMMI Maturity Level 5ISO 9001:2015

Service management

Defined response times, change control and a quality system that is audited rather than asserted.

ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018Defined SLAsChange control

Government and defence eligibility

We have delivered inside a defence organisation's secure internal network, with no public cloud involved.

Central Vigilance CommissionGeM registeredClosed-network deliveryOn-premise deployment

Data protection and IP

What we build is yours, including anything written with AI assistance, and your data stays yours too.

Full IP transferSource code handoverNo model training on your dataYour choice of hosting

People and premises

The item that only applies when people handle your data in a building rather than software handling it in a cloud.

Background check standard, floor access, clean desk policy, device and USB restrictions, floor or VLAN segregation, and leaver access revocation to be supplied.

Every operations vendor says their people are trusted. Ask them what happens to a leaver's access at 6pm on their last day.

/ Questions

The things buyers actually ask us.

Answered the way we answer them on a call.

Ask us something else

Managed teams are billed per person per month with a three month minimum. Rate depends on seniority, skill scarcity and time zone coverage. You see the full monthly number before anyone starts.
