Most India EORs do not publish their CIN, their GSTIN, or their ESI code. We do, plus the Udyam registration, the PAN, the TAN, and the actual government-issued certificates as PDFs. Click any of them to verify the entity is real, current, and active on the official Government of India portals.
Most "EORs" pass through to a third-party Indian entity you never see. We are the entity. The CIN, GSTIN, ESI code, and Udyam registration above are all on the contract counterparty of every offer letter we issue.

Read →Dear founder,
If you are hiring your first engineer in India, the part nobody warns you about is not the talent. It is the eight statutory filings, the New Labour Code rebase, and the EPFO inspection notice that arrives in month three.
Versatile exists so a US founder can hire in India the way they hire in California. Sign a contract on Monday. Have a payslip on the first. Get a USD invoice that an auditor can read. Our compliance team owns every step.
If that is the kind of partner you want, our team email is on every contract: [email protected]. Write to us before you sign. We reply in 4-6 hours.
With EOR, Versatile is the legal employer (your hire is on Foo Falcon's books). With Managed Payroll, you own the Indian entity (your hire is on YOUR books); we just run payroll + statutory filings + audit support. Same compliance depth, different legal employer.
