Overview

Direct control of an offshore team - without setting up the entity

Our Micro-GCC setup and Employer-of-Record (EOR) service lets small and mid-sized global businesses build a dedicated offshore team in India. We handle entity, payroll, compliance, HR, facilities, and onboarding. You hire, manage, and own the work - without the multi-quarter overhead of standing up your own GCC. As eor solutions india and micro gcc in india infrastructure, we sit between pure EOR and a full captive - direct control of hires and culture, with operational depth and a transfer path when entity setup is justified.

Talk to a specialist
What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?
A legal employer that hires and pays staff in a foreign country on behalf of a foreign company. The employees do the work for you; the EOR handles employment, payroll, and compliance locally.
What is a Micro-GCC?
A small-to-mid-sized Global Capability Center - an offshore team operating as a captive extension of the parent business, but run on shared infrastructure (HR, facilities, finance) rather than a wholly-owned entity.
How long does it take to set up?
EOR-only placements can move in 4-8 weeks. Full Micro-GCC setup with hiring and facilities runs 8-16 weeks.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on team size, role mix, and operating model. Total-cost-of-ownership in India is typically 50-70% lower than equivalent US-based hires for skilled engineering, design, and analytics roles.
Do we own the IP and the work product?
Yes. IP and work-product ownership terms are written into the master services agreement.
Can we hire across multiple Indian cities?
Yes. We support distributed teams across major Indian tech hubs.
Can we move to our own entity later?
Yes. The BOT model is designed for this. We document, transition, and hand over with continuity.
How is H4H different from a generic EOR provider?
Generic EORs handle payroll and compliance. We handle the same - plus hiring, performance management, facilities, and access to specialist capability when the team needs it.
