Why Indian Businesses Should Hire an Indian Outsourcing Partner
India's IT outsourcing industry is well known for serving foreign clients — but Indian businesses themselves often struggle to find a reliable local development partner. The large IT firms (TCS, Infosys, Wipro) have minimum engagement sizes that put them out of reach for most startups and mid-market companies. Freelancers from job portals are inconsistent and rarely senior. Stallioni is built for the middle ground: senior offshore-grade engineering, priced and contracted in a way that works for Indian businesses. Same language, same time zone, same banking system — none of the cross-border friction.
How We Work with Indian Clients
Indian engagements are simpler than international ones because there is no time zone, currency, or compliance gap. We start with a 30-minute discovery call — in person if you are in Coimbatore, Chennai, or nearby, video otherwise. Within 48 hours we deliver a fixed-scope proposal in INR with milestones and timelines. Work typically begins within 5 working days. We use Slack, GitHub, and Notion as defaults, but adapt to whatever your team uses (including WhatsApp groups for stakeholder communication, which is common in Indian businesses). Weekly demos in your time zone, milestone-based invoicing in INR.
Verifiable Track Record
Although most of our public reviews come from international clients on Freelancer.com (4.8★, 978 reviews since 2007), the same team, the same office, and the same engineering standards serve Indian businesses too. The advantage of working with us locally is that you can verify our work in person, meet the engineers building your project, and avoid the cross-border friction that international clients have to accept. The downside, honestly, is that our pricing reflects the international rates we are accustomed to — we are not the cheapest option in the Indian market, but we are not the most expensive either.
Pricing for Indian Clients
Our Freelancer.com profile shows a public hourly rate of $12 USD (~₹1,000). For Indian businesses, dedicated developer rates typically run ₹40,000–₹1,20,000 per developer per month depending on stack, seniority, and team size. Most fixed-scope projects (MVPs, e-commerce builds, mobile apps) range from ₹3 lakh to ₹40 lakh. Invoicing in INR with applicable GST, payable via NEFT, IMPS, RTGS, or UPI. No setup fees. No recruitment fees. No markup on third-party costs.
