The Regulatory Landscape

Why direct India hiring fails without a dedicated infrastructure

Establishing an operational footprint in India opens up world-class technical talent, but navigating Indian labor jurisprudence requires institutional precision.

Entity Setup Takes Months

Incorporating a Private Limited subsidiary demands RBI reporting, capital injection, GST filings, PAN/TAN registration, and local resident directorships.

Multi-Tier Statutory Payroll

Misclassification Exposure

Treating full-time workers as independent contractors triggers severe retrospective tax liability, labor audits, and intellectual property exposure.

Strict Severance Jurisdictions

Frequently Asked Questions

Direct, plain-English answers to common executive and legal inquiries.

What exactly is an Employer of Record (EOR) in India?

expand_more

An Employer of Record is a legally established local entity that serves as the official, registered employer for your Indian workers on paper. AroopaTech handles legal contracts, monthly tax deductions (TDS), provident fund filings (PF), insurance, and benefits. Meanwhile, you manage your team's day-to-day deliverables and roadmap just like direct hires.

Do I need a registered corporate entity in India?

expand_more

No. That is the core benefit of the EOR structure. You do not need to register a Private Limited company, obtain an Indian PAN/GST, open local INR bank accounts, or appoint Indian resident directors. You sign a single international master services agreement with AroopaTech.
[Note: Subject to Permanent Establishment & Tax review for enterprise contracts].

What does the fixed $750 monthly fee cover?

expand_more

The $750 per resource fee covers total legal employment umbrella rights, monthly statutory payroll processing, PF/ESI/PT/TDS remittances, employer portal access, employee self-serve tax and payslip portal, standard HR support, and ongoing labor law advisory. Employee salary and statutory levies are passed through at 100% cost without hidden markup.

How fast is the employee onboarding process?

expand_more

Once you share candidate offer details and agreed compensation, we can issue an employment contract within 24 hours. Once accepted, onboarding verification and statutory enrollment occur in [X] days, allowing your team to start immediately according to their notice period.

How are notice periods, resignations, and terminations handled?

expand_more

Employment agreements clearly define standard Indian notice periods (typically 30 to 90 days depending on role seniority). AroopaTech manages full-and-final settlement calculations, leave encashment, statutory severance provisions, and formal relieving letters in accordance with Indian Industrial Disputes and Shops & Establishments laws.

Can we migrate employees to our own Indian entity later?

expand_more

Yes. If your Indian headcount reaches scale (e.g., 50+ resources) and your board decides to incorporate an Indian subsidiary, AroopaTech facilitates a clean novation of contracts, continuity of service transfers, and smooth offboarding with zero punitive exit barriers.

Who owns the Intellectual Property (IP) and software code?

expand_more

You do. Every bilateral employment contract incorporates explicit intellectual property assignment language ensuring all inventions, codebases, architectures, and work product transfer unconditionally to your company.
[Note: Subject to IP assignment review by local legal counsel].
