Our Global Hiring & Outsourcing Services

Our Employer of Record service allows you to hire full-time employees in India without establishing a legal entity, eliminating months of incorporation paperwork and ongoing compliance overhead. Chandigarh.IT acts as the legal employer, handling payroll processing, statutory benefits (PF, ESI, gratuity), tax withholding and filing, employment contracts compliant with Indian labor law, and employee insurance. You retain full operational control over your team members including task assignment, performance management, and day-to-day direction. EOR is the ideal starting point for companies testing the India market before committing to a full GCC setup. Many of our clients begin with 2 to 5 engineers on EOR and scale to a dedicated GCC within 12 to 18 months as they validate the model and grow their team.
For organizations ready to establish a permanent engineering presence in India, we provide end-to-end GCC setup and management services. The GCC model gives you full ownership and control of your India team while Chandigarh.IT handles the heavy lifting of establishment. Our GCC services cover entity incorporation and regulatory compliance, office space procurement and build-out in Chandigarh's IT parks, talent acquisition including technical screening and cultural fit assessment, HR operations and payroll administration, IT infrastructure setup, and ongoing operational management. The GCC market in India is projected to reach $110 billion by 2030, with mid-market companies now entering the space alongside traditional Fortune 500 adopters. We recommend an EOR-first roadmap: start with 3 to 10 employees on our EOR platform, validate team performance and cultural fit over 6 to 12 months, and then transition to a fully owned GCC entity when the business case is proven.
We assemble and manage dedicated product development teams that function as a seamless extension of your organization. Unlike traditional outsourcing where you hand off requirements and receive deliverables, our product teams are embedded in your product development process with shared tools, sprint ceremonies, and communication channels. Teams typically include product managers, UX designers, frontend and backend engineers, QA engineers, and DevOps specialists. We handle talent sourcing, onboarding, workspace, equipment, and HR administration while you retain product direction and technical decision-making authority. This model is ideal for startups building their v1 product, growth-stage companies scaling engineering capacity, and enterprises launching new product lines without expanding domestic headcount.
Our dedicated team model provides you with full-time engineers who work exclusively on your projects under your direct management. Unlike staff augmentation where individuals supplement existing teams, dedicated teams operate as cohesive units with shared context, established processes, and team-level accountability. We source, screen, and onboard engineers matched to your technology stack and domain expertise requirements. Team sizes range from 3-person squads for focused workstreams to 20+ person engineering groups for large-scale product development. All team members work from our managed workspace facilities in Chandigarh, with enterprise-grade connectivity, physical security, and IT infrastructure. You get the stability and cultural alignment of a captive team with the operational flexibility and speed of an outsourcing partner.
Not every company needs a full-time CTO, but every technology-driven business needs strategic technical leadership. Our Fractional CTO service provides experienced technology executives who work with your leadership team on a part-time basis, typically 10 to 20 hours per week, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire. Engagement pricing ranges from $5,000 to $20,000 per month depending on seniority level and time commitment. Our Fractional CTOs bring 15+ years of hands-on engineering and leadership experience across diverse technology stacks and industries. Services include technology strategy and roadmap development, architecture review and technical debt assessment, engineering team structure and hiring strategy, vendor evaluation and build-vs-buy decisions, due diligence support for fundraising or M&A, and board-level technology reporting. This service is particularly valuable for seed to Series B startups that need executive-level technology guidance but cannot justify a $250K to $400K annual CTO salary.
Through our consortium partner Linkage IT, we provide rapid staff augmentation services that place pre-vetted engineers into your existing teams within 1 to 2 weeks. Our talent pool spans all major technology stacks including frontend (React, Angular, Vue.js), backend (Node.js, Python, Java, .NET), mobile (Flutter, React Native, iOS, Android), data engineering, DevOps, QA, and emerging technologies (AI/ML, blockchain). Every candidate undergoes a multi-stage vetting process covering technical assessment, communication evaluation, and reference verification. Staff augmentation is ideal for companies that need to quickly ramp capacity for specific projects, fill skill gaps in existing teams, or scale engineering resources during peak demand periods without long-term hiring commitments.
We provide round-the-clock technical support teams for SaaS companies, managed service providers, and enterprises that need continuous coverage across global time zones. Our support services span Level 1 (front-line triage and known issue resolution), Level 2 (technical investigation and troubleshooting), and Level 3 (engineering-level root cause analysis and code fixes). We staff dedicated help desk teams, network operations center (NOC) operators, and application support engineers who are trained on your products, processes, and escalation procedures. Support teams operate from managed facilities with redundant connectivity, and all interactions are tracked through your existing ticketing systems (Zendesk, Freshdesk, ServiceNow, Jira Service Management). SLA-backed response and resolution times are defined for each severity level.

Frequently Asked Questions

An Employer of Record is a service where Chandigarh.IT legally employs your team members in India on your behalf, handling all payroll, benefits, tax compliance, and employment law obligations. Unlike traditional outsourcing where a third-party vendor manages and directs the work, EOR gives you complete operational control over your employees. You select the candidates, define their roles, manage their daily work, conduct performance reviews, and make all technical decisions. The EOR model combines the speed and compliance simplicity of outsourcing with the team loyalty, cultural integration, and management control of direct hiring. It is the fastest way to compliantly hire in India without establishing your own legal entity, and it serves as the ideal foundation for organizations considering a future Global Capability Center.
A Fractional CTO engagement begins with a comprehensive assessment of your current technology landscape, team capabilities, and business objectives. Your Fractional CTO then operates as a senior member of your leadership team, typically committing 10 to 20 hours per week at monthly rates ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 depending on seniority and scope. Typical deliverables include a technology roadmap aligned with business goals, architecture recommendations for scalability and reliability, engineering team hiring plans and interview process design, vendor and technology stack evaluations, technical due diligence documentation for investors, and regular reporting to your board or leadership team. Most clients engage a Fractional CTO for 6 to 18 months, either transitioning to a full-time hire once the organization reaches sufficient scale, or continuing the fractional model indefinitely if part-time leadership meets their needs.
We recommend a phased EOR-first approach that minimizes risk while maximizing speed. Phase 1 (Months 1 to 3): Hire 2 to 5 engineers through our EOR service. This validates the India hiring model, tests team integration with your existing workforce, and establishes communication rhythms. Phase 2 (Months 4 to 12): Scale the EOR team to 8 to 15 members as you build confidence in the talent quality and operational cadence. During this phase, we begin GCC planning including entity structuring, office space evaluation, and regulatory filings. Phase 3 (Months 12 to 18): Incorporate your India entity, transition employees from EOR to your own payroll, and move into a dedicated office space. Chandigarh.IT provides transition management support to ensure zero disruption. This roadmap has been executed successfully by dozens of our clients and typically saves 6 to 9 months compared to starting with direct GCC establishment, while significantly reducing financial risk.
Quality assurance begins with our multi-stage vetting process: resume screening against role-specific criteria, technical assessments (coding challenges, system design exercises, or domain knowledge tests), communication and cultural fit interviews conducted by our senior technical recruiters, and reference checks with previous employers. We maintain a candidate acceptance rate of approximately 3 to 5% from initial application to placement. For talent retention, Chandigarh's tri-city region offers a significant advantage over larger metro cities. Attrition rates in Chandigarh average 8 to 12% compared to 18 to 25% in Bangalore, driven by a higher quality of life, lower cost of living, and less poaching pressure from competing employers. Additionally, we provide competitive compensation benchmarking, employee engagement programs, career development planning, and regular satisfaction surveys to proactively address retention risks before they become departures.
