Hire Software Developers in India
Hire backend, frontend, and full-stack developers in India without setting up a local entity. Akross handles employment administration while you manage product development.
Build Your India Engineering Team
Building an engineering team overseas is about more than finding developers. You need people who understand your product, work within your development processes, and contribute to your long-term roadmap.
Establishing a local entity adds administrative responsibilities before your first developer starts. A project-based outsourcing arrangement may also differ from the employment model you want for engineers working directly within your organization.
Akross helps international companies employ software developers in India through an Employer of Record (EOR) arrangement. Amulya Infotech India Pvt Ltd serves as the employing entity, while Akross coordinates the agreed employment administration and compliance processes.
Your team continues to manage technical priorities, code reviews, sprint planning, and product decisions. This structure supports direct collaboration with your developers without requiring you to establish your own Indian entity, where the arrangement is appropriate.

Keep Product Development in Your Hands
Software developers build valuable knowledge of your codebase, architecture, integrations, and release processes. Maintaining that knowledge within your team can be important as your product evolves.
Your existing workflows
With an EOR arrangement, your developers can work within your existing engineering workflows rather than relying exclusively on an external vendor’s project delivery process.
Clear responsibilities
Your company directs the engineering work. Akross coordinates the agreed local employment administration through Amulya Infotech India Pvt Ltd.
Ownership with continuity
This approach can help you build a dedicated engineering team while keeping product ownership and technical decision-making within your business. Long-term continuity still depends on employee retention, documentation, and effective team management.

Employment, Compliance & Security
A Named Indian Employer
Amulya Infotech India Pvt Ltd is the employing entity under the EOR arrangement described on this page. Akross coordinates the agreed EOR services through this Indian business.
Relevant statutory registrations and accounts are maintained under the registered entity as applicable. Actual obligations depend on the employee’s circumstances, work location, and current Indian requirements.
Quality and Information Security
Amulya Infotech has stated ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certifications. Verify the current certificates and their scope before relying on them for a specific service or security requirement.
For software development, your business should also implement appropriate confidentiality and intellectual property provisions, repository permissions, secure authentication, credential management, and access-removal procedures.
Permanent Establishment Risk
An EOR does not automatically eliminate Permanent Establishment (PE) or other corporate tax risks. Exposure depends on your business activities, employee responsibilities, contractual authority, applicable Indian law, and relevant tax treaties.
Obtain qualified tax advice to assess your circumstances, particularly where employees represent your business, negotiate contracts, or perform activities that could create a taxable presence.
