Hire SDRs in India — dedicated outbound sales development teams

Outbound SDRs who run your full motion. Cold email, calling, LinkedIn — US hours, pre-vetted on writing quality.

Sales Development Representatives are one of the highest-burnout, highest-cost roles in US go-to-market organisations. India provides dedicated SDRs who run the same outbound motion — cold email, calling, LinkedIn, and sequence management — at 65–70% lower cost, with native-quality written English and full US time-zone availability.

Why hire this role

Why companies hire dedicated Sales Development Representatives.

Outbound pipeline at reduced OTE

US-based SDRs cost $85–120K OTE. India provides the same outbound motion at $24–38K all-in — enabling larger SDR teams and broader ICP coverage at the same budget.

Scale SDR capacity without proportional cost

Adding 3 India-based SDRs instead of 1 US-based SDR at the same cost triples ICP coverage, enables parallel testing of message variants, and creates redundancy against attrition.

Dedicated, not agency

Unlike lead generation agencies that send lists, dedicated SDRs run your motion — your sequences, your CRM, your brand — with the continuity that compounds into better targeting over time.

Why India

World's largest engineering talent pipeline

India produces 1.5M+ engineering graduates annually across IITs, NITs, IIITs, and hundreds of accredited colleges — the deepest single-country technical talent pool globally.

4–8 hours of live US time-zone overlap

IST (UTC+5:30) provides genuine synchronous collaboration windows for standups, code reviews, and design sessions with US and EU teams.

GCC and startup ecosystem training

India's 1,800+ Global Capability Centres and unicorn ecosystem (Razorpay, Meesho, CRED, Swiggy) have trained engineers in product-grade software development at global scale.

Hiring challenges

What to know before you start.

Writing quality for professional outreach

Outbound email quality is the primary determinant of reply rates. Remvix screens written English quality extensively — subject line craft, personalisation quality, and call-to-action clarity.

Voice quality for cold calling

Cold calling from India requires neutral or American-adjacent accent and confident, clear verbal communication. Voice quality is screened for all SDR roles with calling responsibility.

Outbound motion ownership vs execution

The best SDRs understand the 'why' of sequences — ICP targeting, messaging hypothesis, follow-up strategy — not just mechanical execution. Remvix screens for strategic awareness alongside execution.
