Hiring here for capacity

This is why most people arrive. The range is enormous — from three-person shops to organisations of several hundred — and the price spread within India is wider than the gap between India and Europe. Rate alone tells you very little.

What separates the good engagements from the bad ones is rarely technical skill, which is abundant. It is specification and continuity: who writes the requirements, who reviews the work, whether the developer you interviewed is the developer assigned, and whether the team survives the project. Ask how many people would be on your account, by name and role, and ask what their retention looks like.

Timezone is a real factor and cuts both ways: with Europe you get a few hours of overlap and a useful overnight cycle; with the US West Coast there is almost none, and that needs an agreed communication rhythm rather than good intentions.

Building for the Indian market

Quite separate, and it needs local knowledge:

• UPI has reshaped payments. Instant bank-to-bank transfer through a unified interface is how a great many people pay, and a checkout built around international card processing is building for a minority.
• Card storage and recurring payments are tightly regulated. Rules on tokenisation and on mandates for recurring charges are specific to India and have caught out subscription businesses repeatedly.
• Cash on delivery remains significant, with all the operational consequences discussed on other pages here.
• GST is its own configuration problem, including place-of-supply rules across states.

What to check

For capacity: contract, IP assignment, where code lives, and what happens at handover. For the Indian market: ask which payment provider, how they handled tokenisation, and whether they have configured GST for interstate sales.
