Hire IT Support Engineers 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 IT Support Team in India
International IT companies, Managed Service Providers (MSPs), hosting providers, and technology businesses often need additional technical support capacity to meet customer service expectations.
Providing support across different time zones can be challenging when your existing team operates primarily during local business hours. Expanding coverage may require additional L1, L2, L3, NOC, and system administration professionals.
Hiring these professionals in India can help your organization build dedicated support capacity without establishing its own local entity.
Akross helps international companies employ IT 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 support procedures, assigns tickets, manages escalation paths, and controls service delivery. Akross coordinates the local employment administration.
With Amulya's background in IT outsourcing and support since 2001, this page brings together practical IT services experience and a dedicated focus on India EOR services.

Extend Support Across Time Zones
For MSPs and international IT service providers, support coverage needs to match customer operating hours. When customers require assistance during US business hours, relying exclusively on an existing local team may create coverage gaps.
Building an India-based support team can provide additional staffing capacity for agreed working schedules, including evening and overnight shifts where appropriate.
Support US Business Hours
Plan India-based support schedules around your customers' operating hours. Define shift timings, handover procedures, escalation contacts, and coverage responsibilities before onboarding.
Maintain Service Continuity
Document troubleshooting procedures, escalation workflows, ticket ownership, and infrastructure runbooks. These practices help your team maintain continuity across shifts and employee changes.
Strengthen Technical Escalations
Build additional L2 and L3 capacity for infrastructure troubleshooting, server administration, network issues, and complex technical support requests.
Support MSP Operations
Add dedicated technical professionals who work within your existing ticketing systems, service desk processes, customer environments, and agreed service-level expectations.
Shift arrangements must be planned in accordance with applicable Indian employment requirements, including relevant working-hour, weekly rest, overtime, and night-shift rules.
