The problem
Hiring in India should not
mean setting up in India.
India gives UK businesses access to skilled, ambitious and cost-effective remote talent. But hiring properly can quickly become complicated if you do not have the right structure — employment setup, contracts, payroll, statutory costs, onboarding, equipment, communication and day-to-day remote working expectations.
Bright EOR gives you a simpler way to hire India-based staff, with a UK-led team supporting the process from setup to ongoing management.

You end up managing all of this
- No Indian company
- Unclear payroll setup
- Contract and compliance questions
- Remote onboarding challenges
- Equipment and internet concerns
- Communication and performance structure
With Bright EOR
We handle the structure. You focus on the work.
- EOR support
- Payroll coordination

What we do
India hiring, made simple.
From single-hire EOR support to full office setup — one managed process, run by a UK-led team.
How it works
We shortlist. You choose.
Unlike outsourcing agencies that hand you the person they've got, Bright EOR sources and screens candidates for your role — then shares you a curated shortlist to interview and choose from.
Tell us who you need
You share the role, salary range, working hours, experience level and support required.
We source or you bring the candidate
You can bring your own person, or we source and screen India-based candidates and share you a curated shortlist to interview.
You interview and select
You pick who joins your team. Not the other way round — we don't tell you who to hire.
We handle setup, you get to work
Bright EOR runs employment, payroll, IT onboarding, equipment and support structure. Your team member reports directly into you.

The numbers
The real cost of a UK hire vs a Bright EOR hire.

~£26,000 salary
~£32,000 all-in (incl. NI, pension, holiday, seat)

VAT
Bright EOR is UK-based. Where VAT is charged on our service fees, it is normally reclaimable by UK VAT-registered businesses through your usual VAT return. Employee salaries and India-side statutory costs pass through separately.
Fine print
Figures above are illustrative only. Actual salary and total cost depend on role, seniority and individual candidate. We'll walk you through a full breakdown on your quote.
Beyond remote
Want a dedicated team or office in India?
Where clients need a physical office, dedicated team room or a full on-ground presence — we can set it up and run it through our company, so you don't need to open your own Indian entity.
Or, if you'd rather stand up your own entity down the line, we'll walk you through it and help you set it up properly.
