A practical guide for EU & UK founders to hire in India in under 3 weeks, without setting up a legal entity, navigating compliance alone, or overpaying for talent.
Learn about EOR, GCC, and entity models, and exactly which one fits your stage.
⏱️ Duration: 45 minutes 🎥 Includes live Q&A insights and real founder experience
Overview
The EU-India FTA has changed the equation for European founders. India is no longer a long-term consideration, it’s an immediate growth lever.
Whether you’re looking to hire your first engineer, scale a support function, or build a full capability centre, European and UK companies can now hire in India faster and cheaper than ever, without a subsidiary, without months of setup, and without compliance guesswork.
But expanding without the right model leads to:
- Delays of 4–6 months waiting on entity setup
- Unexpected tax and legal exposure
- High fixed costs before the market is validated
- Mismanaged teams across time zones and cultures
This webinar walks EU and UK founders through how to hire an India team in under 3 weeks using the right entry model, and when to scale from there.
You’ll leave with a clear, practical framework to make the right decision for your business at your current stage

Frequently Asked Questions
We know you have concerns. Here's the truth.
1. Is hiring through an EOR legal? How is this different from employment?
EOR (Employer of Record) means PamGro is the legal employer on paper. You manage the day-to-day. It’s fully legal in India and used by 67% of EU companies. It’s simpler, faster, and legally safe.
2. What if I need to transition to my entity later?
That’s the plan for most companies. Hire via EOR (3 weeks). Build the team (6-12 months). Then transition to your entity seamlessly. We’ve done this 100+ times. Zero disruption.
3. Are these developers actually good? Or am I getting what I pay for?
Skill level is 100% the same. Same algorithms, same certifications, same interview standards we use in Berlin or London. Cost is lower because India’s cost of living is lower—not because talent is lower.
4. What happens after the webinar? Do I have to buy something?
We’ll offer a strategy call if you want one. No pressure. Most people either attend the webinar and that’s it, or they book a call. Both are fine.
5. Can I hire for other roles? Or just engineers?
Any role that can be remote works: engineers, product managers, operations, customer support, HR, finance. If the role is remote-native, it works.
