Most India teams go live in 2-8 weeks. EOR (Employer of Record) is fastest at 2-4 weeks because we use our existing legal entity. ODC (Offshore Development Center) takes 4-6 weeks. A full Center of Excellence (COE) takes 6-8 weeks.
EOR (Employer of Record) means we legally employ your India staff while they work for you, ideal for 1-20 hires. ODC (Offshore Development Center) is a dedicated team housed in our infrastructure, typically 10-50 hires. COE (Center of Excellence) is a fully custom-branded India operation with 50+ employees, your own infrastructure, and complete control.
Companies typically save 50-65% on total cost. A senior software engineer who costs $180,000 fully loaded in the US runs about $55,000-$75,000 fully loaded through our India EOR, including salary, benefits, infrastructure, and our service fee.
You retain 100% IP ownership. Every employee signs an IP assignment clause in their contract that transfers all work product, code, designs, and inventions directly to your company. We never claim any IP rights.
EOR includes hiring and onboarding, payroll processing, statutory benefits (PF, ESI, gratuity), health insurance, equipment provisioning, IT and security infrastructure, HR support, compliance with Indian labor law, and monthly reporting. You only manage day-to-day work.
Yes. Most clients start with EOR for speed, then convert employees to their own India entity once they hit 20-50 hires. Lionforce supports the transition at no penalty, including transferring contracts, PF accounts, and statutory liabilities.
We hire across Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Kochi, and Coimbatore. We also support remote-first roles anywhere in India. City choice depends on the talent profile. Bangalore for senior software, Chennai for fintech and embedded, Pune for product engineering.
Global EOR platforms are designed for one-off hires across 100+ countries. Lionforce is an India specialist with on-ground operations, deeper compliance expertise, and a hands-on hiring partner instead of a self-service portal. We also offer ODC and COE models that global platforms do not support.
Yes. We are fully compliant with the Code on Wages, Industrial Relations Code, Social Security Code, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, and all state-level Shops and Establishments Acts. Annual third-party audits are available on request.
There is no minimum. We work with companies hiring their first India employee through to teams of 200+. Pricing is per-employee with no setup fees and no annual commitments.
