The Problem

Why most India expansions fail before the first commit

India is the world's largest engineering talent pool — but the operational overhead scares most companies away.

Setting up your own entity takes 12+ months

Incorporating in India requires a local Resident Director, a Reserve Bank investment filing, state-level tax registrations, and 15 different labour law registrations. And winding down takes two years.

SaaS EORs can't handle the physical stuff

Most Employer-of-Record platforms are software only. Without a local partner, you face 40% customs duties on laptops — and no way to recover hardware when a remote employee resigns.

Most EORs are built to keep you trapped

The EOR industry profits from lock-in. Transitioning to your own entity is made deliberately painful and expensive. We're the opposite — our goal is to graduate you out of our EOR.

Compliance is a full-time job

A 5-person team has the same compliance obligations as a 500-person company: monthly payroll tax, quarterly returns, annual audits, and investment reporting to India's central bank. One missed filing means personal liability for company directors.

Our Solution

Entity-in-a-Box: three pillars, one invoice

Everything a functioning India office needs — people, hardware, and a physical space — bundled into a single USD payment.

01 | EOR & PAYROLL

Hire instantly, stay compliant forever

We are the legal employer. Your engineers are on our payroll from day one — fully compliant with India's updated Labour Codes. You get a live dashboard with salary sheets, attendance, and leave records. Full transparency, no surprises.

02 | HARDWARE & IT

Laptops procured, shipped, and recovered

We buy the hardware locally (no import duties), deliver it configured, and recover it when someone leaves. Every serial number tracked in your dashboard. No more "where's the laptop?" when an engineer resigns.

03 | MANAGED OFFICE

Your brand on the door, not a co-working desk

A private, branded office space — not a generic hot-desk. No 3-year lease. No fit-out costs. Flexible terms that scale as your team grows. Your Indian team has a real home base.

The BOT Advantage

Build → Operate → Transfer. We run it. You own it.

Stop paying EOR margins once you reach scale. Most EORs don't want you to leave. We build you toward the exit from day one.

Stage 1 | 0–20 Employees
Build

Hire immediately via our EOR. Test the Indian market, find the right talent, and validate your team — with zero legal footprint in India. No entity, no risk.

Stage 2 | 20–40 Employees
Operate

We run HR, payroll, compliance, office, and IT. You focus on engineering output. We quietly prepare the groundwork for your entity incorporation.

Stage 3 | 40+ Employees
Transfer

We incorporate your Indian Private Limited company and migrate all employees to your own entity — with zero disruption to your team or your product roadmap. You own it from here.

Why Peple

We're not a dashboard. We're boots on the ground.

The difference between Peple and a SaaS EOR is the same as the difference between Google Maps and a local guide.

Founded by Chartered Accountants

Our founding team are practising CAs specialising in cross-border compliance. We don't just use compliance software — we understand the law behind it.

Physical infrastructure, not just software

We have real logistics hubs, real hardware procurement networks, and real estate relationships. Things a SaaS-only EOR simply cannot offer.

One vendor. One invoice. Total clarity.

No juggling between a payroll vendor, a hardware vendor, an office broker, and an accountant. One monthly USD invoice covers everything. We handle all local payments and taxes.

We want you to graduate

Our BOT model is built around the goal of handing you your own entity at scale. We succeed when you no longer need us as an EOR — that's a feature, not a risk.

Client Stories

Trusted by US & UK tech teams hiring in India

"The 48-hour onboarding is real. We had our first Pune-based engineer live in our system before the week was out. Peple handled everything — contract, PF registration, the works."
R
Ryan T.
VP Engineering, ServeHQ · US
"We tried three other EOR vendors before Peple. None of them understood the compliance side the way Peple does — TDS, PF, gratuity, labour codes. One invoice, zero surprises."
S
Sarah M.
Head of People, Loopline · UK
"The BOT model is what sold us. We knew we'd want our own Indian entity eventually, and Peple had that transition built in from day one. When we hit 40 engineers, the handover was seamless."
J
James K.
CTO, NeuralBase · US
"Hardware management was the game-changer. No customs headache, no tracking spreadsheets. Laptops arrive configured. When someone leaves, Peple recovers it. Simple."
P
Priya S.
IT Director, Stackbound · Canada
"We onboarded 12 engineers in three months. The Peple dashboard gives us payroll visibility and compliance status that rivals our US HR system. I didn't expect that from an India EOR."

Mike L.
COO, Vantage Systems · US
"Peple aren't just a vendor — they genuinely understand the challenges of a US startup hiring in India for the first time. They guided us through every step without overwhelming us."
