Why US companies pick India-native EOR

USD invoicing, US-side receiving

Versatile holds a US receiving account. Your accounts payable wires USD on Net 15. No INR wire transfer, no FX spread on your bank, no separate India compliance for your finance team.

SOC 2 + SOX audit support, cross-referenced

Every payslip cross-referenced to its PF challan ID and TDS payment evidence. The documentation depth survives both India audit and US-side SOX walkthrough by your external auditor.

4-6 hour TAT, India business hours

Compliance escalations from your US team reach our India compliance lead during US morning hours. Replies arrive before US end-of-day. No two-day async drag.

IP assignment to your US Delaware C-corp

Every India employment contract assigns IP to your US parent on creation. Standard clause, US-style wording, defensible in both India and Delaware courts.

No India entity setup required, not until 25+ hires

Build to 25-30 India hires on Versatile EOR. Below that headcount the EOR cost is meaningfully below a self-operated India entity's all-in cost. Above 25-30, we walk you through the entity transition.

Form W-8BEN-E coordination, no withholding surprises

Versatile maintains current W-8BEN-E with your US accounts payable. India-to-US payment flows are clean on the IRS side. No backup withholding surprises at year-end.

Questions we hear most.

Do I need a Delaware C-corp to use Versatile from the US?

You need a registered entity in the US (Delaware C-corp, LLC, or any state-registered business entity). The Master Services Agreement is between your US entity and Foo Falcon Technologies Pvt Ltd (the Indian entity that runs Versatile). The India employment contracts are between Versatile and the India employees; your US entity is the work-direction party but not an India employment counterparty.

How does USD invoicing work for US companies?

Versatile invoices your US entity in USD on a US-side receiving account. Your accounts payable wires USD on Net 15. We hold the FX exposure on our side, convert to INR at the Reserve Bank reference rate, and pay India salaries from a Versatile INR bank account. No FX markup, no spread loss on your bank.

Will Versatile India payroll documentation survive my US SOX or SOC 2 audit?

Yes. Every payslip is cross-referenced to its PF challan ID, ESIC eligibility log, and TDS payment evidence. We compile an annual audit packet that walks your US-side external auditor through the documentation depth. The audit pass rate across our portfolio is 100% (verified Q1 2026).

What is the time zone overlap with India compliance for a US team?

India business hours (IST) overlap with US morning hours: India 9am-9pm IST aligns with US 10:30pm-10:30am PT. Most US teams reach our India compliance lead in their morning; replies arrive before US end-of-day. Average TAT is 4-6 hours during India business hours.

How does IP assignment work for India hires of a US company?

Every India employment contract through Versatile includes an IP assignment clause assigning all work product to your US parent on creation. The clause is drafted to be enforceable under both Indian contract law and Delaware law. The standard Versatile MSA also includes a master IP assignment that flows through to every employment contract.

What about Form W-8BEN-E and IRS withholding?

Versatile maintains current Form W-8BEN-E with your US accounts payable on file. Our Indian entity qualifies as a foreign corporation for IRS purposes. Properly executed W-8BEN-E means no backup withholding on USD wires from your US entity to our US-side receiving account.

When does it make sense for a US company to set up its own India entity?

At 25-30 India hires the all-in cost of a self-operated Indian Pvt Ltd (legal counsel, India CFO, payroll software, audit, transfer pricing) starts being lower than the EOR fee. Below that headcount, EOR wins on cost. Above 25-30, the entity wins. Versatile walks through the math transparently and supports the EOR-to-entity transition.

Do you have US-based customer success or US team?

No. The customer-facing compliance team is entirely India-based, with India business hours coverage. We do not run a US customer success team because the work product is India compliance and the experts are in India. The 4-6 hour TAT and asynchronous email model work for US clients reliably.
