What makes us different

One partner for both stages.

Most global EORs stop at Stage 1 — when you scale, you're on your own. Local CAs only do Stage 2 — and they don't run HR. People EOR is the only partner that walks both stages with you, with the same team, the same dashboard, the same single USD invoice.

Start without an entity. We build one when you're ready. We've been your HR partner the whole time.

Other EORs / Local CAs

  • Cover only Stage 1 OR Stage 2
  • Hand off when you scale or incorporate
  • SaaS only · no boots on the ground
  • You re-vendor at every stage

People EOR

  • Both stages · one partner
  • Built to graduate you to your entity
  • CA-backed boots on the ground
  • Same team. Same invoice. End to end.
Why People EOR

We're not a dashboard.
We're boots on the ground.

We started People EOR because we kept seeing global teams get dropped the moment they outgrew their EOR. We're chartered accountants — so we built the partner we'd want: one team that hires your India engineers compliantly, then sets up your own entity when you scale.

Frequently asked questions

Is using an EOR legal in India?+
Yes. Engaging an Employer of Record is fully legal in India and is a well-established, compliant way for foreign companies to hire local employees without setting up their own entity. The EOR becomes the legal employer on record and takes on all statutory obligations, while you direct the employee's day-to-day work.
What does EOR stand for?+
EOR stands for Employer of Record — a company that legally employs workers on behalf of another business. In India, the EOR handles employment contracts, payroll, PF, ESI, TDS, statutory benefits and labour-law compliance, so you can hire without your own Indian entity.
How quickly can you onboard an employee in India?+
Within 48 hours of receiving the candidate's details and documents. We handle the compliant contract, payroll setup and statutory registrations (PF, ESI, professional tax) so your hire is live and legal in two business days — not the months an entity setup would take.
Which compliance and statutory obligations do you handle?+
All of them. That includes Provident Fund (PF), Employees' State Insurance (ESI), TDS, professional tax and gratuity, plus compliant employment contracts and ongoing labour-law compliance under acts such as the Payment of Wages Act and the Shops and Establishments Act. Payroll is run monthly with every deduction and filing taken care of.
What's the difference between an EOR and setting up our own entity?+
Setting up your own entity gives you a direct employment relationship but is slow, costly and only worth it past a certain headcount — you take on full responsibility for Indian accounting, tax filings and compliance. An EOR lets you hire immediately with none of that overhead. We're the bridge: start with EOR, then transition to your own entity when the scale justifies it — without re-hiring your team.
Can we move from your EOR to our own Indian entity later?+
Yes — this is what sets us apart. Most EORs stop when you scale. We handle the full Pvt Ltd incorporation (RBI, GST, PF, ESI, PT registration) and migrate your employees to your own entity with zero disruption, whenever you decide to incorporate. Same team, same dashboard, throughout.
What's the difference between BPO and EOR?+
A BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) provider delivers a business function — like support or back-office work — using its own staff. An EOR doesn't do the work for you; it legally employs the people you choose, who work directly for and report to you. With an EOR you control the team and the work; the EOR carries the employment compliance.
