India engineering capacity for US teams, with a real handoff between time zones

For US scale-ups and mid-market companies that want a focused, partner-led team in India, and a straight answer on security reviews and contracting.

Three ways we work with you

Build in India. Enter India. Partner in India.

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.

Time zones

IST (UTC+5:30, no daylight saving) is 9.5 hours ahead of US Eastern in summer time and 10.5 hours ahead in winter; against Pacific it is 12.5 to 13.5 hours ahead. US mornings overlap Indian evenings, which suits a follow-the-sun handoff: work done in India is ready when your day starts. Where you need more live overlap, we can shift a team's hours toward yours.

In your market

What US buyers ask

Security questionnaires and third-party risk

Larger customers routinely send a vendor security questionnaire and may ask for a SOC 2 report. We don't hold SOC 2 or ISO 27001 today, and we'll work through your questionnaire directly.

IP ownership and contracting

Buyers want clarity on who owns the work product and under which law the contract sits.

Data access and handling

US privacy and security obligations vary by state and sector. We scope data access and residency for your engagement rather than defaulting to our own infrastructure.

Working-hours overlap

The gap to US time zones is large, so how handoffs and core hours are structured matters more than in other markets.

How we handle it

What we commit to

  • +A data processing agreement, and cross-border transfer terms where your law requires them, agreed as part of contracting
  • +Audit and inspection rights, subcontracting disclosure and exit plans agreed upfront
  • +A named partner accountable for the engagement
  • +Plain answers on contracting entity, governing law and certification status: engagements are contracted with Bhuvi Venture Labs LLP, incorporated in India, under Indian law

FAQ

Common questions

We agree core collaboration hours per engagement, and where required can run a team aligned to your local working hours. The trade-off is that shifted hours are harder on the team, so we'll be upfront about what suits your situation.

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.
