Verifiable proofs

Versatile is not a brand on top of a holding company. We are the entity. Foo Falcon Technologies Pvt Ltd. Corporate Identification Number U72900KA2022PTC163007. Registered in Karnataka in 2022. Listed on the MCA21 portal, which is the Ministry of Corporate Affairs public register.

Statutory registrations live in our name: EPFO for Provident Fund, ESIC for Employees' State Insurance, Professional Tax in every state we operate in, and Shops & Establishments licenses across all 28 states and 8 union territories of India. The Income Tax Act 2025 Form 130 framework is implemented in our payroll engine. The DPDP Act 2023 sets a 24-hour breach notification SLA on us, which we honour.

If any of those are claims you would like to confirm before you trust us with a hire, we publish the certificate numbers on the verifiable proofs section of every service page and the registration filings are open to inspection on the MCA portal.

The founder

Sagar Chainani, Founder, Versatile Club
Sagar Chainani · Founder, Versatile Club

Sagar Chainani built Versatile after spending years inside India hiring at scale. The entity behind Versatile is Foo Falcon Technologies Pvt Ltd (CIN U72900KA2022PTC163007), incorporated in Karnataka in 2022. Sagar holds the founder LinkedIn profile (linkedin.com/in/sagarchainani) and is the named POC on every signed contract. When you book a 20-minute intro, you talk to him.

The team you actually talk to

Sagar is the named point of contact on every signed contract. When you write to [email protected], he reads it himself. When you WhatsApp the founder number on the comparison pages, the message reaches him. This is structural, not seasonal.

Behind Sagar sits a trained India compliance team. They talk to the EPFO and ESIC officers in their native language. They file PF and ESI returns themselves. They handle Form 16 issuance, Form 26AS reconciliation, gratuity computation, and TDS deposit. They are not a forwarding desk to a chartered accountancy firm. Most account questions are resolved by them within 4 to 6 business hours over email. Customer-facing support routes through [email protected] so messages are tracked and never lost.

The origin story

I spent weeks reading every G2 review of Deel, Remote, Wisemonk, Oyster, and Multiplier. Every Reddit thread where US founders complained about India hiring. Every Trustpilot post about surprise charges and slow onboarding. I wasn't looking to complain. I was looking for gaps.

Every service seemed to follow the same playbook: built for the US, adapted for India. Pricing models from Silicon Valley. Compliance teams that talked to lawyers, not the EPFO. Founder support that meant a support ticket.

I decided to build differently. A company born in India, not transplanted to it. Built for the specific chaos of hiring here-FX volatility, statutory compliance, founder relationships.

How we're built different

Six principles that define Versatile, built around what founders actually need

  • USD invoicing is structural-Not a feature we toggled on. A core decision. You invoice us in USD. No FX exposure. No surprise rate changes at month three.
  • India-native, not adapted-We're built here, not transplanted here. HQ in Bangalore. Compliance team that talks to EPFO and ESIC daily. This isn't bolted on. It's core.
  • First month free because confidence should be earned-You shouldn't pay upfront to prove we work. Month 1 is free. Use us. If we don't deliver, nothing lost.
  • 5-day onboarding because your time matters-Day 1 to Agreement. Day 5 to live payroll. Not a marketing promise. A documented SLA we hit every time.
  • No setup fee. No exit fee. No surprises.-What you see is what you pay. $0 to start. $0 to leave. Just your monthly fee, month to month. That's it.
  • Founder-led means I pick up the phone-You don't get a sales team, then a support ticket. You get me. The person who read every review before building this. Who knows your hire by name.

What we are not

Clarity on positioning, because it saves both sides time on the intro call.

  • We are not a global EOR-We are India-only by design. If you need Brazil and the Philippines too, Deel and Remote will serve you better. If you are serious about India, we will out-execute them here every time.
  • We are not a payroll SaaS-You will not log into a dashboard and configure your own compliance. We run it. You hire, we operate.
  • We are not a recruiting agency-We hire, onboard, pay, and compliance-manage the employees you bring us. If you also want help sourcing candidates, we offer a separate Hire Talent service. Pricing is separate.
  • We are not a brand on top of a holding company-Foo Falcon Technologies Pvt Ltd is the operating entity. Same name on the contract, the invoice, the MCA register, and the bank wire. No layered chain.
  • We are not the cheapest-At $149 per employee per month flat, we sit in the middle of the India EOR market. We are not racing to the bottom. The investment goes into a real compliance team and a real founder.

Cities we operate in

Active payroll runs every month, across these 9 cities. Statutory registrations live in our name in every one of them, with Shops & Establishments licenses extended to all 28 states and 8 union territories.

  • Bangalore (Karnataka)-HQ and largest cluster
  • Mumbai (Maharashtra)-Financial services, fintech, ecommerce clients
  • Hyderabad (Telangana)-Engineering, GCC, biotech
  • Pune (Maharashtra)-Engineering and design
  • Chennai (Tamil Nadu)-Engineering and BPO
  • Kochi (Kerala)-Engineering and writing
  • Delhi (Delhi)-Operations and ecommerce
  • Gurgaon (Haryana)-Software agencies and consulting
  • Kolkata (West Bengal)-Engineering and content

The journey so far

December 2022. Foo Falcon Technologies Pvt Ltd is incorporated in Karnataka. Jupiter Money becomes the first invoiced client the same month. They are still on the books today, which makes them our longest active relationship at 3 plus years.

2023 and 2024. Steady expansion across the 9 city footprint. Clients land from US, UK, Singapore, and Australia source countries. Compliance team scales to match.

2025. The Income Tax Act 2025 changes the TDS deposit framework. The DPDP Act 2023 rules are published. We rebuild internal payroll, breach notification, and Form 130 workflows to match. Swiggy, LinkedIn, ePublishing land or scale on the entity.

April 2026. 47 engineers and operators paid in a single month across 14 US and UK companies. Zero statutory notices since founding. The pricing stays at $149 per employee per month flat. First month still free.

Here's how we work

Employment, payroll, compliance, statutory benefits. $149/mo per employee. First month free.

We handle the paperwork, compliance, and statutory obligations. You manage the relationship. Passed LinkedIn's compliance audit with a top 1% vendor score across employment, payroll, and statutory compliance. Zero documentation gaps. 100% statutory filing accuracy.
