Offshore software development team in India

On average, it takes 45–60 days from project kick-off to onboarding your first engineers.

• Week 1: We coordinate with you and prepare hiring materials – interview questions, job posts, and landing pages.
• Weeks 2-4: Recruitment, interviews, and testing.
• Weeks 5-8: Candidates join.

We’ve filled simple roles in as little as 20 days, while complex ones (like data scientists) may take a bit longer.

We recommend beginning with a 5–7-person team for balance and productivity.
If you want to start smaller, we can launch with two engineers and scale to five or more within 12 months. Many partners start small and expand once their core team is settled.

We offer four engagement models for offshore teams.

1. Dedicated team extensions: additional employees who join existing teams bringing their expertise.
2. Dedicated development teams: Complete offshore teams who are self-sufficent but fully integrated within the larger company
3. Offshore development centres: Hubs with multiple teams spread across a wider variety of skillsets to drive developement of new and existing products.
4. Global Capacity Centres: Offices complete with multiple departments and functions to expand your capabilities and presence globally.

We have a robust 7-step recruitment process that we’ve developed over multiple years. It includes technical assessments (we have our own, but can use yours if requested) and soft skills such as communication. You still have final say on who is hired, but our filtering means you only see the best candidates.

Bangalore is the tech capital of India and has a larger talent pool (over 1 million engineers) than even Silicon Valley. There are over 400 R&D centres for tech giants such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Adobe, meaning employees are not technical experts but familiar with operating in international work environments.

Your new developers will work exactly the same as your existing ones; same tools, processes, and workflows. We make sure they’re onboarded correctly on the ground, and your dedicated Chief Happiness Officer and Partner Success Manager will make sure they are engaged and everything is on order on the ground.
