For companies in the EU, EEA and Switzerland · Build in India. Enter India. Scale Globally.
For European scale-ups, mid-market companies and regulated firms building in India, with the GDPR, DORA and NIS2 questions handled upfront rather than discovered at procurement.
Why now
European technology companies compete for senior engineers with every other employer on the continent, including remote-first ones. An India capability widens the pool instead of raising the bid.
IST is fixed at UTC+5:30 with no daylight saving, so a shared working day with Europe is straightforward rather than aspirational. Your afternoon is an Indian evening.
European products are built to sell beyond their home market. For several categories, India is a credible next market — and one almost nobody approaches systematically.
The GDPR, transfer-mechanism and vendor-risk questions are the same across the bloc, so the answers we've worked out apply right across your footprint.
Three ways we work with you
What we do is the same in every market. The time zones, regulations and questions your risk team asks are not — that's the rest of this page.
Engineering, AI and product capability
European companies don't necessarily need more developers.
Market access and India presence
India offers European technology companies access to a large enterprise market, a rapidly digitising economy, deep technology talent and an expanding startup ecosystem.
Joint building and go-to-market
We work with European companies to jointly build technology, establish local capability, develop India-specific products and pursue opportunities together — with a commercial structure that matches the actual shape of the relationship..
IST (UTC+5:30, no daylight saving) is 4.5 hours ahead of Central European Time in winter and 3.5 hours ahead in European summer time. For the UK it is 5.5 hours ahead in winter and 4.5 in summer. European afternoons overlap Indian evenings, and we agree core hours per engagement, including running a team aligned to your local hours where required.
In your market
Personal data moving from the EU/EEA or UK to India needs a lawful transfer mechanism, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, and usually a transfer assessment.
EU financial entities must run due diligence and hold specific contractual terms (service levels, audit and access rights, exit, subcontracting) before onboarding an ICT third party.
Essential and important entities are expected to manage the security of their suppliers, including how incidents are reported and handled.
If we build AI features for you, the EU AI Act's risk-based rules may apply to what is built and how it is used.

FAQ
Not currently. Where there is a committed client requirement, we will establish one and contract under the applicable local law; a fully operational EU setup would typically take 8–12 weeks, depending on jurisdiction.
This page summarises the questions buyers in this market commonly raise. It is not legal advice; requirements depend on your sector and change over time, so confirm them with your own counsel. We describe what we commit to contractually, and we're direct about what we don't have yet. See Trust & Compliance.
