BinateHow we work
From first hire to your own India engineering hub
Two stages, one continuous engagement. Start lean with Binate as the employer, graduate into your own India engineering hub when the time is right.
Stage 1
Start with us
Binate is the employer of record. We hire, employ, and run the team. They work as your embedded engineering team from day one.
- 01
Discovery call
30 minutes to understand your product, stage, budget, and what success looks like in 90 days. No sales script.
- 02
Hire the team
We share hand-picked profiles per role within a week. You interview and decide. Every engineer is a lateral hire matched to the role.
- 03
Onboard & embed
We handle contracts, equipment, workspace, and first-week onboarding so engineers can focus on shipping inside your team.
- 04
Run the operation
Binate is the employer. We run payroll, statutory compliance, IP assignment, and ongoing manager support so you don't have to think about any of it.
Stage 2
Scale on your own
When you're ready, we help you set up your own Indian entity, migrate the team across, and keep scaling with you.
- 05
Set up your entity
When the team and revenue justify it, we help you set up your own Indian entity, registrations, banking, and the operational basics.
- 06
Migrate the team
We move the team across cleanly with continuity of employment, benefits, and IP. No disruption to your roadmap.
- 07
Scale-up support
We continue to help with hiring, leadership, and governance as your India hub grows, on whatever level of involvement suits you.
Principles
How we make decisions
These aren't slogans. They're the rules we hold ourselves to when an engagement gets hard.
Hiring you'd be proud of
Every engineer is a lateral hire interviewed by us and you. No bench transfers, no surprise substitutions.
You always interview
We never place engineers without giving you full ownership of the hiring decision.
Replaceable, not disposable
If a fit isn't right in the first 30 days, we replace at no cost. We've only had to do it twice in five years.
Compliance built in
Indian payroll, statutory filings, IP assignment, and data agreements are handled from day one, not bolted on later.
Clean carve-out, when you want it
Your code, IP, and team are structured so a future move into your own India engineering hub is straightforward, not a renegotiation.
Fair, transparent pricing
Flat monthly rates per engineer, plus a clear ops fee. No mark-up surprises, no per-hour gymnastics.
Let's get started
The first step is a conversation
No commitments, no hard sell. Just 30 minutes to understand whether we're the right fit for what you're building.
