For this Perth-based ServiceNow and SAP advisory, growing client engagements created an urgent need for experienced engineering and product professionals. Australia's local talent market could not always supply the specialist skills the business needed at the pace its projects demanded. India offered access to a deeper pool of qualified technology talent, but hiring there came with its own operational challenges. Setting up an Indian subsidiary, registering for taxes, navigating local employment regulations, and establishing compliant payroll operations would have delayed expansion by months. The company also wanted more than independent contractors. It needed a dedicated team, formally employed and properly supported under Indian employment laws. The goal was straightforward: build a reliable India delivery team without spending months establishing the infrastructure to employ them. The solution ### Seven Specialist Hires, One EOR Partner, Zero Entity Setup Wisemonk stepped in as the company's Employer of Record (EOR) partner in India, allowing the business to build its team without incorporating a local subsidiary. Working around the company's delivery roadmap, Wisemonk helped hire seven engineering and product professionals through locally compliant employment arrangements. Each employee received statutory benefits, with Provident Fund (PF) contributions and income tax administration managed from the first payroll cycle. Compensation was benchmarked against the local talent market, helping the company make competitive offers and attract qualified professionals. Wisemonk also managed the employment lifecycle, including offer letters, onboarding, monthly payroll, statutory compliance, and ongoing HR support. A single point of contact brought these responsibilities together, eliminating the need to coordinate multiple providers. The company could focus on selecting talent and delivering client projects while Wisemonk handled the complexities of employing its India workforce. The results ### An India team that works like it has always been in-house The company successfully built a seven-person engineering and product team in India, creating a dedicated extension of its Australian operations without establishing a local subsidiary. With Wisemonk managing employment, payroll, and statutory compliance, the leadership team no longer needed to navigate India's employment regulations or maintain a separate employment infrastructure. The business gained access to specialist technology talent, greater flexibility in managing delivery capacity, and a compliant operating model that can grow alongside its client commitments. As new ServiceNow and SAP engagements create demand for additional resources, the company can expand its India team through further compliant hires rather than undertaking another lengthy entity setup process. ## Ready to Build Your India Team?
