Can a US company hire employees in India without setting up a company?

Yes. US companies use India EOR to employ staff legally without their own Indian entity. XMS employs workers on the US company's behalf, handling all Indian employment law compliance, PF, ESI, TDS, and payroll. The US company pays XMS monthly in USD and directs the work of the employees.

What does it cost to hire an engineer in India via EOR for a US company?

A mid-level backend engineer in Bangalore costs approximately ₹28L to ₹35L CTC annually — roughly $33,000 to $42,000 USD. Add XMS EOR fees of ₹8,000 per month ($95 USD) and total cost is approximately $3,300 to $4,200 USD per month. An equivalent engineer in the US costs $12,000 to $15,000 per month all-in.

How long does it take to hire and onboard someone in India via EOR?

Recruitment for a known profile typically takes two to four weeks. Once the candidate accepts, EOR onboarding takes 5 working days — employment contract, PF registration, and first month payroll setup. Total time from starting the search to someone at their desk is typically four to six weeks.

What are the notice period rules for India employees?

Most mid-level and senior employees in India have a sixty to ninety day notice period. When hiring away from another company, factor this into your start date. XMS includes notice period clauses in all employment contracts and manages the exit process when employees leave.

When should a US company set up its own India entity instead of using EOR?

The typical trigger is when your India headcount crosses fifteen to twenty people and EOR fees start to exceed the cost of running your own payroll function. Below that threshold, EOR is almost always cheaper and faster. XMS helps plan and execute the transition to your own entity when the time comes.
