The distinction that defines this service: augmented specialists extend your own team and report to your managers, rather than working at arm's length on a statement of work. You keep the direction; we carry the employment.
Share the requirement, get a shortlist, interview, onboard in days, then scale up or down.
Sourced from India's national talent pool and employed through our Indian employer-of-record entity.
Capacity is added or released with short notice — no long-term salary obligation and no entity overhead.
Augmented specialists report to your managers and work in your process, not at arm's length.
Staff augmentation expands your operation in India without you setting up a local entity. Screened professionals from India's talent pool join your team, work in your tools, repositories and sprint process, and report to your managers — and the employment relationship, payroll, HR, compliance and onboarding sit with us as employer of record.
The reporting line is what separates this from contract staffing. A contractor works at arm's length; an augmented engineer sits in your standups, owns tickets in your board, and is managed by your engineering manager. That makes it the right model when the work is continuous and integrated, and the wrong model when it is a discrete deliverable with a defined scope.
The commercial shape follows from that: no long-term salary or severance commitment, capacity added or released with short notice, and no entity overhead. Pricing is per specialist as an hourly or monthly rate bundling pay, margin and employment costs — no rate card is published, and the vendor's own claims are qualitative rather than numeric: lower hiring cost, higher retention, faster hiring than building the same team yourself.
What is supplied, and what is carried on your behalf.
A shortlist from the pre-vetted India talent pool, screened for the exact skills and seniority, with profiles, assessments and availability — usually within days of the brief.
Employer-of-record and contractor management: payroll, HR, tax and compliance obligations handled on your behalf, so the engineers are properly employed rather than informally engaged.
Into your tools, repositories and sprint process — not into a parallel delivery structure. Time-zone overlap, communication cadence and the outcomes they own are agreed before day one.
Retention strategy and risk assessment, performance appraisals, periodic surveys, expense reimbursement, equipment oversight and one-to-one meetings — the administration a distributed team still needs.
An operations centre stood up without you investing in infrastructure, technology and HR — the same model at team scale rather than individual scale.
Add or release capacity on short notice with no severance risk. The ability to scale down is the half of flexibility most suppliers are quieter about.
Five published steps, and you hold the decision at step three.
Roles, tech stack, seniority and team culture, plus the time-zone overlap, the communication cadence and the outcomes the augmented engineers will own.
From the pre-vetted India talent pool, screened for the exact skills and level, usually within days, with profiles, assessments and availability attached.
You interview technically and culturally using structured scorecards. You stay in control of every hiring decision — this is not a resource being allocated to you.
The selected engineers are employed through our employer of record and onboarded into your tools, repositories and sprint process, typically starting within weeks.
Add or release capacity with short notice as the roadmap changes — no severance risk, no entity overhead, and no renegotiation to reduce a team.
Teams whose constraint is engineering capacity inside their own process.
Where the roadmap needs more hands in the existing team rather than a separate vendor delivering a separate thing, and where onboarding into your process is the requirement.
Companies who want an India team working in their sprint cadence without incorporating, hiring locally or building an HR function to support it.
Where you want to know whether a distributed team works for your codebase and your rituals before making permanent hiring commitments you cannot reverse.
Roadmaps that expand and contract, where the ability to release capacity without severance is worth more than a marginally lower rate.
Four limits, and the first one corrects something that has appeared on this site.
The reporting line. Augmented specialists extend your own team and report to your managers, working in your tools and rituals. Contract staffing supplies people who work at arm's length on defined project work.
We do, through our Indian employer-of-record entity — payroll, HR, tax and statutory compliance are carried on your behalf, while you direct the work day to day.
A matched shortlist usually arrives within days, and selected engineers are typically onboarded within weeks once you have interviewed and chosen. The interview stage is yours and it sets the pace.
Per specialist, as an hourly or monthly rate bundling the person's pay, our margin and the employment costs. Rates vary widely by skill and seniority; talent in India typically costs less in total than the US or Western Europe, and there is no salary or severance commitment.
Yes — capacity is added or released on short notice, with no severance risk and no entity overhead. Being able to scale down is the part of flexibility that actually gets used.
Yes. You interview technically and culturally using structured scorecards and you decide. Nobody is allocated to your team without you choosing them.
Talk to the group and a senior lead scopes it in writing, or go straight to the service's own site and look at it yourself. Neither route commits you to the other.
