Indian Companies Hire Globally as Skills and Markets Drive Growth

Indian Companies Hire Globally as Skills and Markets Drive Growth
India’s companies are no longer just the world’s talent hub. They’re hiring globally · businesstoday.in

For a long time, companies from other countries came to India to hire workers because it was cheaper.

Now, companies from India are doing the opposite—they are hiring workers from all over the world.

They want people with special skills, especially in technology, engineering, and artificial intelligence.

They also want to hire people who live close to their customers so they can serve them better.

Most of this overseas hiring is happening in North America, Europe, the UK, and parts of Asia.

But hiring in other countries is not easy because every country has different rules about pay, taxes, and visas.

These rules caused delays for many companies, and some had to push back their product launches.

To make things easier, some companies use special helpers called 'Employer of Record' companies that handle the paperwork.

India is no longer just a place where others find cheap talent—it is now a buyer of talent from around the world.

Quotes

Rakesh Gaur

Head of Sales, India at Deel

““For years, India was where global companies came to hire because of cost. Today, Indian companies are going out into the world to hire the best talent, wherever it exists, driven by capability and customer proximity rather than cost alone.””
