About India
Hiring in India is a strategic process that connects your company with the world's largest talent pool without the legal headaches. India offers incredible tech talent, a growing English-speaking workforce, and competitive salary ranges - but its complex labor laws trip up even experienced HR teams. An Employer of Record (EOR) handles the paperwork maze while you focus on finding the right people. With 42% of companies reporting compliance challenges when entering the Indian market, an EOR might be the difference between a smooth expansion and costly legal mistakes.
