The challenge

Scaling an India Team Without Building the Back Office

This IT services firm needed to grow an India team to eleven people and wanted to move quickly, but it had no Indian entity and no interest in building the payroll and HR back office that employing people locally normally requires.

It wanted eleven employees hired and employed compliantly, with benefits and statutory obligations handled, through a single partner.

The need was growth without the administrative drag.

The solution

Eleven Compliant Hires, One Accountable Partner

Wisemonk employed all eleven people as Employer of Record over five months, each on a compliant contract with provident fund, professional tax, income-tax deductions, gratuity, and health benefits from the first payroll cycle.

Salaries were benchmarked to market, and onboarding, equipment, payroll, and compliance ran through one point of contact, with payroll forming part of the more than $20M Wisemonk runs monthly for global companies.

The firm chose the people; Wisemonk carried the employment.

The results

A Bigger India Team, None of the Overhead

The firm built a compliant eleven-person India team in five months, with no entity and no back office of its own to maintain.

Statutory obligations and payroll sit with Wisemonk.

Further growth runs through the same model.
