Hiring one or two people offshore is manageable. Scaling to a team of ten, twenty, or beyond introduces a different level of complexity, and most mid-sized businesses are not resourced to handle it internally.
As your Employer of Record in India, Orbit Offshore takes on the entire employment layer across your full headcount, from contracts, payroll, and every statutory obligation, so your team can focus on running the business, not administering it.
You manage the people. We manage the employment.
Every new hire in India brings additional statutory obligations. EPF, ESI, TDS, and Professional Tax compound with headcount. We manage all of it centrally, accurately, and without your involvement.
Your HR function is built for UK hiring. Managing Indian employment law, payroll cycles, and compliance filings requires specialist knowledge your team should not have to develop in-house.
If you have been growing through contractors or agencies, you are carrying risk. Orbit Offshore converts your India presence into a fully compliant employment structure without operational disruption.
A fixed monthly management fee per employee gives your finance team reliable, auditable employment costs with full visibility and no unexpected charges.
Orbit Offshore is designed for businesses that are beyond the first hire and need a structure that holds up as headcount grows. Whether you are managing a team of five or building towards fifty, the service is built to scale with you.
You have already started hiring in India, and it is working. Now you need a repeatable, compliant structure that grows from five people to fifteen without rebuilding your setup each time.
You want your India team to feel like part of the business, with proper employment terms, clear contracts, and full statutory compliance. An EOR structure gives you that without the infrastructure overhead.
You are responsible for making the India setup work without constant oversight. You need a partner who manages the employment layer reliably, delivers clean monthly reporting, and does not create work for your team.
You need predictable, auditable employment costs as headcount grows. Orbit Offshore gives you a fixed monthly cost per employee with full visibility at every stage.
As your Employer of Record, Orbit Offshore manages the employment layer across your entire India team. You retain full control of how your people work. We retain full accountability for how they are employed.
Four steps from brief to fully employed team member, with your account manager guiding every stage.
