Hire offshore developers in India, without opening an entity
Want offshore developers without the outsourcing headaches? Kaamwork’s Tech EOR platform and local HR support let you build a full-time offshore team in India overnight. You own hiring, salaries, and day-to-day management. We handle payroll, compliance, and retention.
How to hire offshore developers
in India
When most companies hire developers offshore, they are really outsourcing. The vendor employs the team, picks who works on your project, and can rotate people out whenever it suits them.
Kaamwork works differently. Your offshore developers in India are your own full-time employees through our EOR. You pick them, you manage them, and they stay on your product. Kaamwork makes that possible in India without a legal entity or a local recruiting team. Your offshore developer works as your employee, and typically costs around a third of an equivalent US salary.
When you hire offshore developers in India through Kaamwork, you get:
Developers across every major stack, employed by you, not a vendor
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 offshore developer to a full team
Full-time employees who work as an extension of your team, not a vendor bench
What does an offshore developer do?
An offshore developer works from another country, here India, as part of your team. Through Kaamwork, that developer is your full-time employee, not a vendor’s. Here is what a full-time offshore developer on a Kaamwork team typically owns.
Works on your product
Builds and maintains your code, not a vendor’s backlog.
Uses your tools
Works in your repos, your Jira, your Slack.
Reports to you
Takes direction from your managers, not an account lead.
Overlaps your hours
Shares working hours with your US team every day.
Covers overnight
Keeps work moving while your US team is offline.
Covers any stack
Front end, back end, mobile, DevOps, QA, or data.
Stays long-term
Local HR support keeps attrition under 5%.
Grows into a team
Start with one hire and add more on the same setup.
Why hire offshore developers in India
India is the largest offshore development market in the world, with talent 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 offshore 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.

Offshore developer cost to hire
How much does it cost to hire an offshore 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 and stack, 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.

Why hire offshore developers through Kaamwork
Most companies that hire developers offshore end up with a vendor’s team they do not really control. When you hire offshore developers through Kaamwork, they join your team as full-time employees, not contractors on loan from a vendor. You keep full control over who you hire and how they work. We handle payroll, compliance, benefits, and the local HR support that keeps people around. And since there is no entity to set up, most companies hire offshore developers in India within days, not months.
