Yes. Many AI startups begin with a small, focused pod of 3–5 engineers and scale from there. There’s no minimum headcount requirement to get started.
ML engineers, data engineers, full-stack developers with AI experience, MLOps specialists, NLP/computer vision engineers, and research engineers. India has one of the deepest AI talent pools globally.
A GCC gives you a dedicated, full-time team that works exclusively for you. They’re on your tools, in your standups, and building deep context on your product. It’s not freelance or contract work — it’s your team.
Our month-to-month managed model allows you to scale up or down with 30 days notice. No long-term lock-in contracts.
Yes. India-based teams typically offer 4–6 hours of overlap with US time zones (more with East Coast). Most startups find this sufficient for daily standups and real-time collaboration.
You do. All intellectual property, code, models, and data belong to your company. This is contractually guaranteed from day one.
We source from top-tier talent pools, run rigorous technical screening, and you make the final hiring decision. Every engineer is interviewed and approved by your team before they start.
