What is an EOR?

The fastest legal path
to hiring in India

An Employer of Record is a company that becomes the official legal employer of your India team on paper. They handle everything employment-related. You keep 100% operational control over what your people do every day.

Without an EOR, hiring in India requires incorporating a Pvt Ltd company, registering for GST, PAN, TAN, opening a bank account, and navigating 44+ labour statutes. That takes months. With an EOR, it takes days.

Who Uses Our EOR

We know your situation
before you describe it


EOR looks different depending on where you are in your India journey.

💻 Global Tech Company

Building an India engineering team remotely

You approved India headcount but have no entity and no time to build one. The board wants the team contributing next quarter.
We get your engineers employed and on payroll within 2 weeks. No entity. Full statutory compliance from day one.
🏢 GCC Setup

Setting up a Global Capability Centre in India

Your GCC needs 30 to 100 people in 12 months. Entity is in progress but hiring cannot wait months for incorporation to complete.
EOR lets you start hiring today while your entity incorporates, then we manage the clean transition when it is ready.
📉 PE / VC Portfolio

Portfolio company with India compliance gaps

DD flagged statutory issues. PF not registered correctly, contracts are non-compliant, payroll is being run on a spreadsheet.
We audit, clean up the compliance, and bring India employment under a proper EOR structure within weeks.
⚡ Series A‑C Startup

Testing India talent before committing to a full entity

You want to hire 2 to 8 people in India to validate a product, engineering or ops thesis before setting up a permanent structure.
EOR is the exact right structure. Start, test and scale with zero entity overhead, then transition cleanly when ready.
Client Voices

India the right way

Common Questions

Straight answers on
EOR in India

An Employer of Record in India is a company that becomes the official legal employer of your India workforce on paper. They hold employment contracts, process payroll in INR, handle statutory contributions (PF, ESI, TDS, Professional Tax) and ensure compliance with Indian labour laws, while you retain full control over the day-to-day work. Anjusmriti Global acts as the EOR, so you never need to set up an India entity to hire legally.
Yes, through an EOR. Anjusmriti Global’s India entity becomes the legal employer. Your employees receive India-compliant contracts, PF and ESI registrations, Form 16 and all statutory benefits under our entity. No Pvt Ltd company, no PAN/TAN registration, no bank account required from your side.
Typically 7 to 14 days from signed agreement to first employee starting work. The main variables are document collection speed and the employee’s notice period at their current employer. We will give you a realistic timeline on the first call.
In India, an EOR is the full legal employer of your workforce. A PEO is a co-employment model that requires your company to also be a registered employer in India. For foreign companies without an India entity, EOR is the correct model, as it removes that requirement entirely.
You do, completely. Anjusmriti Global is the administrative employer on paper. You are the operational employer in practice. You set the work, goals, hours, team structure and performance expectations. We handle payroll, compliance, HR documentation and statutory filings in the background.
When your India Pvt Ltd is incorporated, we novate the employment contracts from our entity to yours, transfer PF and statutory registrations, and ensure the employee experiences no disruption. The transition is a clean handover, not a rehire.
Global platforms process India through standardised tech workflows. Anjusmriti is a boutique India specialist with deep, human-led expertise in India employment law. We know state-specific nuances, gratuity edge cases, and POSH compliance intricacies that generic platforms miss. We also include recruitment, which most global EOR platforms do not offer.
