Hire Customer Support Teams in India
Hire L1, L2, L3, and NOC engineers in India without setting up a local entity. Akross coordinates employment administration while you manage technical support, infrastructure, and customer operations.
Build Your Customer Support Team in India
International businesses often need dedicated customer support teams to manage customer enquiries, service requests, product questions, and ongoing customer relationships.
Supporting customers across different time zones can be challenging when your existing team operates primarily during local business hours. Expanding customer coverage may require additional customer support representatives, customer success associates, chat and email support executives, and team leaders.
Hiring these professionals in India can help your organization build dedicated customer-facing capacity without establishing its own local entity.
Akross helps international companies employ customer support professionals in India through an EOR arrangement. Amulya Infotech India Pvt Ltd serves as the employing entity, while Akross coordinates the agreed employment administration and compliance processes.
Your organization defines customer service standards, communication procedures, support channels, escalation paths, and performance expectations. Akross coordinates the local employment administration.
Whether you need a small customer service team or a larger operation supporting international customers, Akross helps establish the employment arrangement for your India-based employees.
