Hire dedicated developers in India, without opening an entity
Want developers who work only on your product, full-time? Kaamwork’s Tech EOR platform and local HR support let you build a full-time dedicated team in India overnight. You own hiring, salaries, and day-to-day management. We handle payroll, compliance, and retention.
How to hire dedicated developers
in India
“Dedicated developer” gets used loosely. Plenty of outsourcing firms sell dedicated developers who still work for the vendor, report to the vendor, and can be moved to another client when it suits the vendor. That is not really yours.
With Kaamwork, companies that hire dedicated developers get people who are genuinely theirs: full-time employees through our EOR, working only on your product and managed by your team. Kaamwork makes that possible in India without a legal entity or a local recruiting team. Your dedicated developer works as your employee, and typically costs around a third of an equivalent US salary.
When you hire dedicated developers in India through Kaamwork, you get:
Developers across front end, back end, mobile, DevOps, data, and e-commerce
Salary savings of up to 65% compared with an equivalent hire in the US
Time zone overlap arranged around your working hours, not against them
Scale from one dedicated developer to a full team
Full-time employees who work as an extension of your team, not a vendor bench
What does a dedicated developer do?
A dedicated developer works full-time on one company’s product, inside that company’s team, instead of splitting time across clients or projects. Here is what a full-time dedicated developer on a Kaamwork team typically owns.
Works only on your product
No juggling other clients or side projects.
Joins your team
Uses your tools, joins your standups, follows your process.
Reports to you
Takes direction from your managers, not a vendor account lead.
Owns features
Takes work from ticket to production, then maintains it.
Learns your codebase
Gets faster every month as context builds up.
Stays long-term
Local HR support keeps attrition under 5%.
Covers any stack
Front end, back end, mobile, DevOps, data, or e-commerce.
Grows into a team
Start with one hire and add more on the same setup.
Why hire dedicated developers in India
India has one of the largest pools of software engineers in the world, across every major stack.
Deepest talent pool
India produces the highest number of STEM graduates each year, and a young, remote-ready workforce across every major language, framework, and platform.
Material savings
Comparable developer talent typically costs about a third of an equivalent US salary. And you skip the overhead of your own legal entity, which runs about 35% on top of total salary cost.
Risk, handled
Time zone overlap, local tax and labor-law compliance, and retention are the usual friction points. Kaamwork’s EOR and local HR model takes them off your plate.
How to hire a dedicated developer through Kaamwork
Five steps from job requirement to an onboarded, full-time dedicated developer in India.
Share your requirement
- The roles you need, stack, seniority, team size, and how much time zone overlap you want.
Source and shortlist
- Kaamwork’s network of proven recruiters can share relevant dedicated developer profiles within 24 hours, matched to the stack and seniority you asked for.
Interview and decide
- You run the interviews and make the offer. The hiring call is always yours.
Onboard in days
- Kaamwork’s Tech EOR platform onboards your new hire with your negotiated salary and title. No entity, no months of setup.
Payroll, benefits, retention
- Cross-border payroll, benefits, and local HR support run in the background, so your new hire feels like part of your team, not a vendor’s.
You keep 100% of the hiring decision. Kaamwork carries the entity, the compliance, and the local HR relationship.
Dedicated developer cost to hire
How much does it cost to hire a dedicated developer in India? With Kaamwork, you pay the developer’s salary plus a flat monthly EOR fee. No entity, no setup bill.
Here is how that compares with opening your own Indian entity. Salary depends on seniority and role (front end, back end, mobile, DevOps, or data), so talk to us for a benchmark on your specific role.
Add-ons such as laptops, medical insurance, benefits, offsites, and detailed background checks are charged at actual cost, with no markup, on top of salary and the monthly fee.
