Delivering for global clients
You need people in India. You don’t want a company in India.
Mid-size companies see what large enterprises already know: India has deep technical talent and round-the-clock coverage at a sensible cost. But setting up your own entity means legal registration, payroll, tax, compliance, offices, IT, security and hiring in an unfamiliar market. That can take many months before your first engineer writes a line of code.
VIPoint gives you a working India team in weeks, not quarters, on our established infrastructure in Infopark, Kochi.
Three ways to build your India team
Most clients start small and grow. You can move between models at any time.
1. Dedicated Engineers
Best for: adding 1–10 specialists quickly.
- Named engineers who work only for you, in your tools and on your hours
- Linux, DevOps, cloud, support, development and more
- Monthly contracts, typically starting in 2–4 weeks
- VIPoint handles hiring, payroll, equipment, office and replacement
More about dedicated engineers
2. Managed India Team (GCC-as-a-Service)
Best for: building a team of 10–50+ across functions without your own entity.
- A complete team with a VIPoint delivery manager and team leads
- Shared services included: HR, payroll, compliance, facilities, IT and security
- Agreed SLAs, reporting and regular governance reviews
- Your culture, processes and tools; our operations
3. Build-Operate-Transfer (on request)
Best for: companies that want their own India centre in the long run.
- Build: we plan, hire and set up your team and workspace
- Operate: we run it until it is stable and performing
- Transfer: when you are ready, we support moving the team, processes and knowledge to your own India entity

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a GCC?
A Global Capability Centre is an offshore team that works as an extension of your company rather than as an outsourced vendor. Traditionally only large enterprises built their own. GCC-as-a-Service makes the model available to mid-size companies.
Do we need to register a company in India?
No. Your team is employed and managed by VIPoint in our SEZ facility in Kochi. If you later want your own entity, we can discuss a Build-Operate-Transfer.
How is this different from outsourcing?
With outsourcing, a vendor delivers outcomes with its own staff. With a VIPoint India team, the engineers are dedicated to you, follow your processes and priorities, and you choose who joins.
How quickly can we start?
Dedicated engineers can usually start within 2–4 weeks. A larger managed team typically takes 1–3 months, depending on the roles.
Who owns the work and IP?
You do. Contracts assign all work product, code, documentation and intellectual property to you.
What does it cost?
Pricing is per engineer per month, based on role and seniority, with shared services included. Contact us for a team plan with costs.
