Build your engineering team today. Own it tomorrow.
Hiring shouldn't wait for entity registration, payroll setup, or compliance approvals. With SquadXP's Talent BOT Model, you can build and deploy your India engineering team immediately. We hire the team on our payroll, manage operations while your India presence takes shape, and seamlessly transfer the team to you when you're ready.
You build the team. You own the outcome.
Remove the delay between deciding to build and starting to ship.
Traditional hiring forces businesses to wait until their India entity is operational before building a team. Our Build-Operate-Transfer model removes that delay.
Your engineers start contributing from day one while SquadXP manages employment, payroll, compliance, and HR. Once you're ready, the team transitions to your organization through a structured transfer process designed to make ownership simple.
The model follows three stages — Build, Operate, and Transfer — with the goal of making SquadXP unnecessary once your team is fully established.
Three stages, one outcome: a team you own.
Build
Start building before your entity is ready.
We source, assess, and onboard engineers who match your technology stack, delivery goals, and culture. Your team joins SquadXP's payroll while working exclusively with your business.
- ✓Build your team immediately
- ✓Eliminate delays caused by entity setup
- ✓Hire experienced engineers faster
- ✓Reduce time to productivity
Operate
Your team. Our administration.
Your engineers work inside your environment, using your tools, joining your standups, and contributing to your roadmap. Behind the scenes, we manage payroll, statutory compliance, benefits, HR administration, and operational support. You focus on building products. We handle the complexity.
- ✓Fully integrated engineering teams
- ✓No payroll or compliance burden
- ✓Reduced operational overhead
- ✓Continuous hiring and HR support
Transfer
Move your team to your organization with confidence.
Once your India operations are established, you decide who joins your permanent workforce. The transition is structured, transparent, and designed to protect both your business and your employees. Unlike traditional contract-to-hire models, our success is measured by how successfully your team transfers to you.
- ✓A team already aligned to your business
- ✓Seamless workforce transition
- ✓Reduced conversion costs
- ✓Long-term ownership of your engineering capability

Frequently asked questions
Why not simply use an Employer of Record?+
An Employer of Record manages employment. The Talent BOT Model goes further by sourcing, assessing, deploying, operating, and eventually transferring your team, creating a complete workforce solution rather than payroll support alone.
What happens if someone isn't the right fit?+
We replace underperforming engineers during the operating phase, allowing you to build confidence before making permanent hiring decisions.
When can we transfer the team?+
You can transfer engineers when your business is ready. The reduced transfer fee becomes available after the agreed operating period, giving you flexibility without forcing long-term lock-in.
Do engineers lose benefits when they transfer?+
No. The transfer process preserves continuity through structured payroll, EPF, and employment transition practices, ensuring a smooth experience for employees.
