A 40–80% renewal hike
Global EORs reprice aggressively at renewal. A 40% bump on 5 hires is manageable; on 50 hires it becomes a line item your CFO won't ignore.
Wisemonk EOR
Switch Your Global EOR for the India Specialist
Wisemonk hires, pays, and manages your India team under India's own payroll, tax, and labour rules for one flat fee per employee.
Trusted by 300+ Global Companies
Four reasons teams come to us
Support buried in tickets
We don't oversimplify customer support with inefficient ticketing systems. Wisemonk gives every account a named HRBP who answers DMs in under four hours.
Hidden compliance gaps
In India, a missed filing carries penalties, director-level prosecution risk, and frozen PF accounts. Wisemonk's EOR is battle-tested across India's complex labour law.
Vendor sprawl
Your global EOR is one line item. Underneath sit three more vendors for BGV, insurance, and laptops, each with their own SLA and invoice. Wisemonk runs all four in-house.
Why us
Three reasons teams stay with us
Your employees will love us
Faster replies, real benefits, structured comp, and someone who picks up the phone when something goes wrong.
You'll stay ahead of the changes
Labour law changes, comp benchmarks, market shifts, statutory updates — all flagged by an India team that does this every day.
One place for everything
The entire employee lifecycle runs in one place. No bouncing between BGV portals, insurance brokers, laptop vendors, and three Google Sheets.

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.
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.
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.
Wisemonk is a key partner for EOM-Energy O&M Services, playing an essential role in supporting our operations. Their seamless payment solutions make transactions not only simple and fast but also reliable. The team’s responsiveness, professionalism, and proactive approach give us complete confidence in every interaction. We look forward to strengthening our collaboration, using Wisemonk both for Employer of Record services and for recruitment support, to help us expand our team in India in the short and medium term.
Process was professional & very smooth. We've worked with Wisemonk to source developers in India and it's worked incredibly well for us. We are very pleased with the talent of the developers and the Wisemonk process was professional and very smooth. We highly recommend using Wisemonk for talent sourcing!
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.
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.
Switching questions, answered honestly
Will my employees feel like they're switching jobs?
No. The novation is paperwork; the day-to-day doesn't change. Same role, same manager, same comp. They receive a single offer that mirrors their current package, with continuous service and accrued leave carried over.
What happens to gratuity and accrued leave?
Both carry over. We pull leave balances from your current EOR during the handover and continue accruing from day one. Gratuity service is calculated from the original join date, not the switch date.
How long does the full switch take?
6–12 weeks end-to-end for most teams. Smaller teams (under 10) can move in 4 weeks. The parallel-payroll cycle is the gating step — we never cut over without one clean reconciled run.
Do we lose any compliance history?
No. PF UANs are portable — employees keep the same number. ESI, PT, and gratuity service all carry forward. We archive the prior EOR's filings as part of the handover so audits stay clean.
What does it actually cost?
A flat $99 per employee per month, plus statutory contributions at cost. No setup fees, no per-cycle fees, no add-ons for BGV, POSH, or equipment shipping. We publish the full rate card on our pricing page.
Can we keep our HRIS (Rippling, BambooHR, etc.)?
Yes. We integrate with the major HRIS platforms and act as your India payroll + compliance layer underneath. Your existing HRIS remains the source of truth for employee data.
Still have a question?
Our India team is ready to walk you through the migration.
