Testimonial

What our customers say

Founders, Leaders and HR heads of fast growing startups across US, Europe, SEA and Oceania trust our services to manage their India teams.

Saurabh Sharma

Saurabh Sharma

Co-founder & CEO at Onereach, USA

The Wisemonk team played a key role in helping us hire for specialized B2B SaaS marketing skills. We were able to build the team within four months, and hire experienced professionals from Tier 1/major B2B SaaS brands. This includes SEO, digital marketing, business development, product marketing, content marketing, and GTM roles. They are a great partner providing integrated services for EOR and recruitment/hiring and I’d recommend them to any B2B SaaS vendor.

Monika Russell

CFO at Minehub, Canada

We've been using WiseMonk to support our India team for the past six months, and the experience has been excellent. They've handled everything from payroll and statutory compliance to equipment procurement and benefits enrollment — all with a level of responsiveness and professionalism that makes managing a remote India team from Canada feel seamless. Nileena and the team are always quick to reply and proactive about flagging anything we need to know. We'd happily recommend WiseMonk to other companies looking to hire and manage talent in India.

Head of Engineering at Cobu, USA

I'm very Happy that I discovered Wisemonk. They have been a pure pleasure to work with, and their attention to detail is impressive. They helped us understand their pricing model, find top-qualified individuals, interview them, and then onboard them. I gave them criteria for the type of people we sought, and they delivered. The individuals they were able to find have been some of the best engineers I have ever worked with. I recommend Wisemonk to anyone who is in need of staffing assistance.

Krishna Ramachandran

I highly recommend them. Wisemonk helped us tap into the vibrant and top-notch Indian talent market and hire our first couple of founding engineers in record time. We've been able to accelerate our roadmap and deliver terrific value to our customers thanks to Wisemonk's efforts. They are easy to work with and very transparent about the process. I highly recommend them to any company looking for talent located in India.

Questions enterprise leaders ask first

What's the difference between a GCC, an EOR, and a captive entity?
A captive entity is your own Indian subsidiary — full legal control but 6–12 months to set up. An EOR is a third-party employer that hires on your behalf — fast and compliant but typically transactional. A GCC built with Wisemonk gives you a directly-managed India capability with the speed of EOR and the governance posture of an entity, without you setting one up.
How fast can we go live?
Median launch time is 8–12 weeks from kickoff to first hires onboarded. Recruiting starts in week 1; legal, workspace, and IT setup run in parallel.
Do we manage the India team directly?
Yes. Your managers, your tooling, your goals. Wisemonk runs the operating model beneath the team (employment, payroll, HR, workspace, IT) but never sits between you and your people.
Can we transfer the team into our own entity later?
Yes. Our Build–Operate–Transfer model is designed for exactly this. We run the pod for 12–24 months while you set up your entity in parallel, then transfer the entire team across without disruption.
How does Wisemonk handle data security and IP protection?
MDM-managed laptops, SSO with your IdP, least-privilege access, encrypted endpoints, and signed IP-assignment agreements. We align with your InfoSec team's policies and are audit-ready from day one.
What functions can we hire for in India?
Engineering, AI/ML, product, data, CX, finance, HR, ops — anything you'd staff in a global capability center. India's talent depth covers most enterprise functions; we can advise on what's feasible in your specific stack.
How does pricing work?
Transparent per-employee pricing, no hidden fees. Pricing varies by role complexity and engagement model — talk to our team for a tailored quote.
What if we want to scale down or pause hiring?
Flexibility is built in. Scale up or down, switch engagement models, or pause hiring as your needs change. No long-term lock-ins.
Where in India do you operate?
Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, NCR (Gurugram/Noida), and Chennai are our primary hubs. We can also support remote and hybrid setups across the country.
