Employer of Record in India.
Hire full-time employees in India without setting up an entity. Remvix is your Employer of Record: the legal employer on the ground, running payroll, statutory benefits, tax, compliance, equipment, and HR. US companies get a dedicated team member in days rather than the 12 to 18 months an entity takes to stand up.
What Remvix handles as your Employer of Record.
Legal employment
Remvix is the registered legal employer in India — compliant contracts, onboarding, and offboarding under Indian labour law.
Payroll & tax
Monthly salary processing, TDS withholding, professional tax, and accurate, on-time payouts in INR.
Statutory benefits
Provident Fund (PF), gratuity, ESI where applicable, insurance, and leave — administered correctly, not as an afterthought.
Compliance & filings
All statutory filings, registrations, and labour-law obligations handled. This is the part that gets DIY hires in trouble.
Equipment & IT
Laptop procurement, secure device management, VPN, and local IT support so your hire is productive from day one.
HR & retention
Engagement, appraisals, grievance handling, and retention support. A hire you lose in eight months was never cheap.
EOR vs setting up your own Indian entity.
An EOR wins for your first 1–15 hires and for testing the India market. Your own entity only pays off past roughly 15–20 heads or a multi-year horizon. The honest side-by-side:
| Factor | EOR (Remvix) | Your own entity |
|---|---|---|
| Time to first hire | Days | 12–18 months |
| Upfront cost | None | $50k–$100k setup + ongoing |
| Legal employer | Remvix | You (your Indian entity) |
| Compliance risk | Held by Remvix | Held by you |
| Payroll, PF, tax, filings | Handled | Your responsibility |
| Best when | 1–15 hires, or testing India | 15–20+ hires, multi-year |
| Exit / scale-down | Month-to-month | Entity wind-down cost |

Employer of Record in India — common questions.
What is an Employer of Record (EOR) in India?+
An Employer of Record is a company that legally employs workers in India on your behalf. You direct the day-to-day work; the EOR is the legal employer of record — running payroll, statutory benefits, tax, and compliance — so you can hire in India without setting up your own entity.
Can I hire employees in India without setting up an entity?+
Yes. With an EOR like Remvix, you hire full-time dedicated employees in India without incorporating a local entity. Remvix is the legal employer; you get a dedicated team member who works only for you, and you pay one monthly invoice per hire.
How much does an EOR in India cost?+
You pay the employee's salary plus a management fee, in one predictable monthly invoice — no $50k–$100k entity setup and no 12–18 month timeline. All-in cost still typically runs 60–72% below a comparable US hire.
EOR vs setting up my own Indian entity — which should I choose?+
An EOR is the right choice for your first ~1–15 hires or when testing the India market: no setup cost, hire in days, compliance handled. Setting up your own entity only pays off past roughly 15–20 heads or a multi-year commitment, once the per-head savings outweigh setup and ongoing compliance overhead.
Is the EOR the legal employer, or am I?+
Remvix is the legal employer in India and holds the employment compliance risk. You retain full direction of the work, tools, and priorities — the team member operates like a local hire on your team.
Does an EOR handle IP and confidentiality?+
Yes. Standard NDA and IP-assignment clauses are built into the employment contract from day one, so work product and IP are protected and assigned to you.
How fast can I onboard someone through an EOR?+
Because there's no entity to set up, onboarding runs in days once a candidate is selected — Remvix typically delivers a vetted shortlist in 7 days and an onboarded team member in about 21 days.
