Ask HN: Help setting up an office in India?

1 pointkevbam2 comments

Hi, Just wondering if anyone on HN has ever set up a subsidiary or branch office in India? We are looking to open a small office(5-10 people) to help with scaling our product. We have had great experiences with Indian developers(contractors) in the past and are keen to set up an office and have our own dedicated team. Any advice or recommendations are greatly appreciated.

On the 5-10 ppl mark I've have a good think as to whether own office is the right answer. At that scale I'd rather go for high end indian outsourcing.

If you have 5 __named__ individuals willing to join that you trust then yeah - do it. You'll struggle to beat that ROI elsewhere. If you don't have specific individuals in mind...I'd be cautious.

My own experience with indian outsourcing is if you ask them to fetch you the moon then they'll say sure. And they'll make a legit 100% good faith attempt to do so. 10/10 for enthusiasm...but you gotta make sure they're charging at the right enemy.

I am in India and I have a space, contact me at njkrda@gmail.com
