Hire remote developers in India, without opening an entity
Want remote developers who overlap your hours and still cost less? Kaamwork’s Tech EOR platform and local HR support let you build a full-time remote team in India overnight. You own hiring, salaries, and day-to-day management. We handle payroll, compliance, and retention.
How to hire remote developers
in India
Remote developers in the US cost about the same as office hires. And hiring remote developers in another country usually means figuring out foreign payroll, tax, and labor law on your own. Kaamwork handles that side.
Companies that hire remote developers in India get full-time employees who share part of the US workday, cover overnight hours, and work the way your team already does. Kaamwork makes that possible in India without a legal entity or a local recruiting team. Your remote developer works as your employee, and typically costs around a third of an equivalent US salary.
When you hire remote developers in India through Kaamwork, you get:
Developers across every major stack, used to working remotely
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 remote developer to a full team
Full-time employees who work as an extension of your team, not a vendor bench
What does a remote developer do?
A remote developer works from home or a local office instead of yours, and joins your team through video calls, chat, and shared tools. Here is what a full-time remote developer on a Kaamwork team typically owns.
Works async
Writes clear updates so work keeps moving across time zones.
Overlaps your hours
Shares part of the US workday for calls and pairing.
Joins your rituals
Shows up to standups, planning, and retros on video.
Documents well
Leaves notes, PR descriptions, and docs others can follow.
Owns features
Takes work from ticket to production.
Covers any stack
Front end, back end, mobile, DevOps, QA, or data.
Uses your tools
Works in your repos, Jira, and Slack.
Stays long-term
Local HR support keeps attrition under 5%.
Why hire remote developers in India
India has a huge pool of developers already used to working remotely with US and European teams.
Deepest talent pool
India produces the highest number of STEM graduates each year, and a young, remote-ready workforce already used to working remotely with US and European teams.
Material savings
Comparable remote 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.

Remote developer cost to hire
How much does it cost to hire a remote 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.
