Committed and documented, not aspirational. Most EOR onboarding takes 2-3 weeks. Here is what happens when you sign with Versatile.
When you hire through Versatile, you are not handing your India team to a faceless platform. You are handing it to me. I have personally placed 50+ professionals across Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Pune. I know the compliance landscape because I built Versatile inside it - not around it. If you have a question about India EOR, you will get me on a call, not a support ticket.
I wholeheartedly recommend Versatile for their exceptional efforts in solving our hiring challenges. Their team understands the India talent landscape and delivers candidates who actually fit our culture.
Versatile is a great partner to work with. They have the ability to understand and adapt to a complex hiring brief and deliver quality candidates consistently.
Versatile's team displayed professionalism throughout the engagement. They found us talent that we couldn't source on our own, and the compliance side was completely hands-off for us.
Versatile transformed our product design landscape, seamlessly integrating top-tier talent that aligned with our vision and culture.
LinkedIn needed a specialist design contractor based in India - not a generalist from a staffing agency, but a top-tier product designer who could integrate with their global design team. The compliance layer was the real challenge: Indian contractor law has specific requirements around agreements, TDS deductions, IP assignment, and misclassification risk.
Versatile sourced and presented a shortlist of top 1% design candidates - evaluated on portfolio quality, communication depth, tool fluency, and culture alignment. Once selected, Versatile handled the entire compliance infrastructure: a legally robust contractor agreement, TDS registration and monthly deductions, IP assignment clauses, and GST invoicing setup. The designer was onboarded, compliant, and productive within days.
Monthly TDS filings happen automatically, contract renewals are tracked, and regulatory changes in Indian contractor law are applied proactively. LinkedIn manages the design work. Versatile manages everything else.
Talk to our founding team. We will walk you through how Versatile works for your specific hiring needs, budget, and timeline.
An EOR acts as the legal employer in India on your behalf. Versatile handles employment contracts, payroll, PF, ESI, TDS, gratuity, and professional tax across all 28 Indian states. Your employee works exclusively for your company. You receive a single monthly invoice in USD or GBP. No India entity required.
5 business days from signed agreement to first payslip. This includes drafting a compliant employment contract, completing KYC, registering with EPFO and ESIC, and scheduling payroll. Compare this to 6-10 weeks to incorporate a Private Limited Company in India.
$149 per employee per month. First month free. No setup fee, no exit fee. This covers payroll processing, all statutory compliance, benefits administration, and a dedicated account manager. What is on the website is what is on the invoice.
Versatile is India-native, not India-adapted. Built for India first, not a global platform that added India as one country among 150. Six structural differences: USD invoicing direct from a single Indian entity (no FX exposure), 5-day onboarding SLA (Day 1 to Day 5 documented), first month free, no setup or exit fees, compliance depth covering New Labour Code 2025-26 and multi-state filings, and founder-led service with direct access to the founding team.
No. Versatile acts as the legal employer in India. This eliminates Permanent Establishment risk under IRS rules and HMRC guidelines. When your India team grows beyond 50 employees, transitioning to your own entity may make financial sense, and Versatile supports that transition.
Everything: Provident Fund (PF) via EPFO, Employee State Insurance (ESI) via ESIC, Tax Deducted at Source (TDS), gratuity provisioning, professional tax across all states and union territories, POSH Act compliance, and state-specific labour law registrations.
Yes. Versatile offers end-to-end recruitment with culture-fit assessment. Every candidate is evaluated against 50+ behavioral parameters. You interview only shortlisted matches. Retention guarantee included. This is what separates Versatile from compliance-only EOR providers.
Yes. Versatile invoices in USD or GBP directly from a single Indian entity. This is structural, not a setting. Competitors either invoice in INR or route USD through a foreign holding entity. Your CFO gets clean books, zero FX exposure, and no foreign currency line items to explain to the finance team.
