01The problem
Compliance debt builds quietly. The invoice arrives later.
Most growing companies do not have an HR problem. They have nine compliance streams, five vendors and no single owner. Everything works until the month it does not.
Problem 1 of 4
One payroll, nine obligations
Nine obligations ride on every payroll: PF (Provident Fund), ESI (Employees' State Insurance), TDS (Tax Deducted at Source), PT (Professional Tax), LWF (Labour Welfare Fund), gratuity, bonus, S&E (Shops and Establishments) and contract labour. Each has its own due date, register, return and inspection.
Problem 2 of 4
Late costs more than on time
Late PF alone attracts 12% a year interest, plus damages that can build up to the full amount of the arrears. Notices arrive months later, when records are hardest to rebuild.
Problem 3 of 4
Every state rewrites the rules
PT slabs, LWF cycles, S&E registrations and leave rules change with every new state you open in. What is compliant in Karnataka may not be in Maharashtra.
Problem 4 of 4
Five vendors, zero accountability
A vendor runs payroll, a consultant files PF and ESI, a CA (Chartered Accountant) files TDS, an agency hires, a lawyer drafts. When something slips between them, you carry the cost.
02One team
The fix is not more vendors. It is one team that owns the outcome.

05How EOR works
From offer to first payslip, in three steps.
An Employer of Record (EOR) legally employs your chosen hire through a local entity, so you get the team without the company. The same team runs your Indian payroll and filings, so one owner answers for both.
Step 1 of 3
You pick the talent
You interview and choose exactly who joins your team, anywhere in 180+ countries. Compensation and role are your call; we advise on local norms.
Step 2 of 3
We employ them locally
Your hire signs a compliant contract with a local legal employer, drafted to that country's employment law. No entity to open, no local directors, no months of setup.
Step 3 of 3
We run payroll and benefits
Salary, taxes, social contributions and benefits run and remitted on the local calendar, with statutory registrations and filings owned end to end.
