Why Atarah
An alternative to buildingyour own Indian operation.
Establishing and managing an independent Indian subsidiary or GCC means building every supporting function yourself. Contracting Atarah provides the workforce, infrastructure and administration through one Indian operating partner.
The comparison
Independent setup vs the Atarah partner model.
| Aspect | Independent Indian subsidiary / GCC | Contracting Atarah |
|---|---|---|
| Indian entity | You establish and maintain your own Indian subsidiary or GCC. | No Indian subsidiary required to begin — international businesses contract directly with Atarah. |
| Office & infrastructure | You find, fit out and administer premises, equipment and connectivity yourself. | Workspace, workstations, connectivity and equipment are provided and coordinated by Atarah. |
| Recruitment | You build and run your own hiring process in India. | Recruitment coordination, candidate sourcing, screening and interview coordination are handled for you. |
| HR & employment administration | You establish your own internal HR, documentation and compliance functions. | Employment documentation, records, attendance, leave administration and compliance coordination are centralised with Atarah. |
| Payroll & accounting | You set up payroll processing and financial administration. | Monthly payroll processing, statutory deduction coordination and accounting administration are provided. |
| Daily business activities | You direct the work — and build every supporting function yourself. | You still direct the work: objectives, tasks, priorities and supervision remain yours. |
| Departments & management | You appoint your own managers and build each department. | Dedicated client departments with department heads, team leads and shared operations management arranged by Atarah. |
| Support structure | You coordinate multiple vendors and service providers. | One coordinated Indian operating partner across workforce, infrastructure and administration. |
Indian employment, tax and regulatory matters depend on each client's specific circumstances. Atarah coordinates applicable processes and supports Indian employment compliance; it does not provide legal or tax advice, and the arrangement does not eliminate all foreign regulatory, tax or legal obligations.
