India Tech Talent for Swiss Startups & SMEs
The engineering talent Swiss startups cannot find locally — sourced from India's top technical universities and startup ecosystem, culturally pre-vetted from Zurich.
Switzerland has a structural engineering shortage; India graduates over 1.5 million engineers a year, including IIT-calibre profiles with startup experience. We bridge the two — remote teams, employer-of-record setups, or relocation to Switzerland.
Concrete outputs.
Graduates of the IITs and India's top engineering schools, plus startup-proven profiles from the Bengaluru / Mumbai / Hyderabad ecosystems — matched to your stack and stage, not keyword-matched.
We interview in both business cultures. You see candidates who communicate the Swiss way — direct, deadline-reliable, low-supervision — before the first call.
Remote contractor, employer-of-record in India, or Swiss work-permit relocation — we map the legal and cost structure for each and manage the onboarding.
Remote, employer-of-record, or relocation.
Fastest and most cost-efficient. Engineers work from India in your time-zone overlap (India is only 3.5–4.5 hours ahead of Zurich). Typical all-in cost: 40–60% below Swiss equivalents at senior level. We handle sourcing, vetting, and contract setup.
Full-time employees in India without founding an Indian entity. An EOR partner carries payroll, compliance and benefits; you carry the working relationship. The right structure once a remote team grows past two or three people.
For key hires who need to sit with the team. We navigate the Swiss third-country work-permit pathway (cantonal quotas, qualification evidence) and the practical landing — housing, registration, family setup.
Not a body-shop. A bilingual bridge.
Standard outsourcing agencies optimise for volume and margin. We place a small number of engineers well: our network runs through India's startup ecosystem and technical universities on one side, and a decade of Swiss finance and startup exposure on the other — including hands-on evaluation of 100+ startups at Swisscanto Private Equity. We know what a Swiss founding team needs from hire number three, and we know how to recognise it in a Bengaluru CV.
Every placement includes a structured 90-day onboarding check-in cycle on both sides. If the fit fails in the first three months, we re-source at no additional fee.
Is this for you?
Swiss startups and SMEs that need senior engineering capacity — software, data, AI/ML, embedded — and cannot fill it from the local market at a workable cost.
