IT Staff Augmentation Company India
Embed pre-vetted India engineers in your team in 1-2 weeks. Senior, contract-flexible, NDA + IP day one. From $25/hr, INR or USD billed
Extend Your Team Without Hiring a Vendor
Staff augmentation is the right model when you have a CTO, a sprint board, and a clear backlog, but not enough engineers to ship it. You don't need a vendor pitching a fixed-scope project. You need a senior engineer who shows up to your standup tomorrow, picks up a ticket by EOD, and ships it by end of sprint. That's what we do.
From 1 senior backend engineer embedded in a Bangalore startup to 5-engineer pods extending a London product team, our staff aug engagements come with the contractual scaffolding you expect (NDA, IP, DPA) and the trial period that catches misfit early (14 paid days). India senior rates 3-5x lower than US/UK/AU, same engineering depth.
Pause-anytime contracts, 90-day replacement guarantee.

Staff Augmentation FAQs
What is IT staff augmentation, and how is it different from outsourcing?
Staff aug = engineers embedded in your team, reporting to your CTO/EM, working in your sprints. Outsourcing = vendor delivers defined scope independently. Staff aug gives direct control. Outsourcing gives fixed scope and price. We do both, and we'll tell you which fits.
How fast can you augment a team?
Profiles in 48 hours. Interview and selection in week 1. Engineer contributing in week 2. We maintain a bench of senior engineers across Laravel, Node.js, React, React Native, Flutter, Python, AI/ML, DevOps and QA.
What's the cost structure?
Hourly billed (monthly invoice). India senior rates: $25-$75/hour or ₹1.5L-₹4.5L/month dedicated. Monthly minimums (typically 160 hours) for dedicated engagements. Part-time available. Pause anytime with 14-day notice.
Will the engineer feel like part of our team?
Yes, when done right. Engineers attend your standups, sprint planning and code reviews. They use your Slack, Linear, GitHub. They have your team email. The only difference from a full-time hire is who pays their payroll.
Do you guarantee replacement if a fit isn't right?
Yes. 90-day replacement guarantee. 14-day paid trial period catches misfit early. Replacement within 14 days, no questions, no additional cost.
