OPERATIONAL FOCUS

Your company shouldn't need an India operations team just to access India talent.

Vortex eliminates the operational friction of international expansion by functioning as your dedicated workforce infrastructure.

TRADITIONAL PATH

Building the Infrastructure Yourself

  • Foreign Entity Incorporation — 6-9 months setup time, legal retainers, and Indian corporate tax registration.
  • Local Operational Overhead — hiring in-country HR, local tax accountants, and labor law compliance officers.
  • Capital Commitment — mandatory minimum capital deposits, office lease commitments, and hardware logistics.
  • Management Distraction — leadership time diverted to navigating foreign administrative regulations.
THE VORTEX MODEL

Operating Through Vortex

  • Immediate Engagement — Start working with shortlisted professionals in days under a single US/UK contract.
  • Zero Administrative Overhead — Vortex manages Indian payroll, statutory benefits, tax filings, and local compliance.
  • Flexible Resource Capacity — Scale team size up or down with standard 30-day notice periods and clear billing.
  • Direct IP Assignment — 100% intellectual property ownership transferred directly to your US/UK entity.
