The Ultimate Guide to EOR Services in India with Yugasa
In today's fast-paced, global business landscape, companies are increasingly looking beyond their borders to find the right talent. However, hiring in a foreign country like India can come with legal complexities, compliance hurdles, and operational headaches, unless you use an Employer of Record (EOR) service.
This ultimate guide covers everything you need to know about hiring full-time talent in India using Yugasa’s specialized EOR service.
What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organization that legally employs workers on behalf of a company in a foreign country. The EOR handles compliance, payroll, taxes, contracts, and local labor laws, so you don’t need to set up a legal entity.
However, unlike global EOR companies that serve multiple countries, Yugasa is laser-focused on India, making it the most reliable choice for companies wanting to tap into India's top-tier talent.
Why Use an EOR in India?
India is a global powerhouse of technical and creative talent. With a large, English-speaking workforce and an ever-growing pool of developers, designers, analysts, and support professionals, it has become a go-to hub for remote hiring.
Here’s why hiring in India via EOR makes sense:
Cost Savings: Salaries and overheads are significantly lower than in Western countries.
Talent Availability: Access to a massive, skilled workforce in tech, design, and support.
No Entity Required: Save time and money by avoiding the setup of a legal company.
Speed and Flexibility: Quickly hire full-time staff without long-term obligations.
Why Choose Yugasa Over Global EOR Providers?
Most global EOR platforms like Deel, Remote, or Oyster provide generic services across multiple countries. In contrast, Yugasa is built specifically for hiring in India, offering distinct advantages:
Local Expertise: We know Indian labor laws, tax regulations, and employee expectations better than any foreign provider.
Transparent Pricing: Our monthly fee is $499 vs Deel’s $599, and we include more localized services.
Cultural Understanding: As an Indian company, we understand local work culture and practices, ensuring smoother onboarding and retention.
Local Payment Gateways: Pay through our bank accounts in the US or UK. No international remittance issues.
