Build your team in India.
VMG helps international businesses recruit, establish and operate dedicated teams in India — from your first few employees to a fully functioning India office or Global Capability Centre.
- Operating since 2005
- 20+ years with international businesses
- Teams established across India
- Extended-hours and 24/7 experience
Built for SMEs and mid-sized businesses
Start small. Build with confidence.
You do not need a 100-person operation to build capability in India. VMG helps international businesses begin with a small dedicated team and expand as the model proves itself.
Most engagements begin with a handful of roles rather than an office plan. Start without an Indian entity, build the team, prove the model, and scale when you are ready.
- 2–5A realistic first step
- 10Once the model is working
- 25+Scale into a larger India operation
Illustrative of the scale VMG works at, not fixed packages.
Start

Recruit a dedicated team, selected for your business and trained on your processes.
Operate
Work virtually across India, from a dedicated office, or through a hybrid of both.
Scale
Add roles and functions as the model proves itself.
Establish
Grow into a larger India operation or Global Capability Centre.
Transition
A clear pathway to your own Indian entity and leadership when commercially appropriate.
Two ways to work with VMG
How would you like to work in India?
Some clients want to develop their own India capability. Others simply want the work performed for them. VMG supports both, and the right answer is usually clear within one conversation.
Build My India Team
For businesses that want to create a dedicated India capability. VMG helps with people, setup, local operations and scaling, and the team works closely aligned with your own organisation.
- You define the roles, the work and the standards
- VMG recruits, establishes and supports the team locally
- Begin with a few people and grow at your own pace
- A clear pathway to your own Indian entity when appropriate
Manage It For Me
For businesses that simply want the work delivered. VMG provides and manages the outsourced team under an agreed hourly or monthly commercial model, with no recruitment, payroll, workspace or India operations for you to take on.
- You define what needs to be done
- VMG provides, trains and supervises the team
- Agreed hourly or monthly commercial model
- The model VMG has operated since 2005
Some clients combine the two models, using dedicated India teams for core capabilities while VMG continues to manage selected outsourced functions.
India-wide
Build where the talent is.
India's talent base extends well beyond any single city. VMG can help establish your team in Bangalore, Delhi NCR, another major Indian city, a Tier 2 location, remotely across India, or through a combination of physical and virtual teams.
- Fully virtual across India. Professionals located wherever the right talent is, working as one team.
- One dedicated office. A single physical location, chosen around the roles you need to fill.
- Multiple Indian locations. Different functions drawing on different talent markets.
- Hybrid structures. Office-based employees combined with remote professionals elsewhere in India.
Bangalore is VMG's home base and one of India's leading talent centres. It is not the only option: VMG has established and operated dedicated client offices elsewhere in India, including a specialist legal-support operation in Noida, near Delhi.
One India team. Many ways to build it. →India operations
Your single point of coordination on the ground.
Recruiting a team in India is rarely the difficult part. Operating it — the paperwork, the workspace, the equipment, the vendors, the local matters that need someone in the same time zone — is where international businesses lose time.
That is the role VMG plays. You retain your business processes, technical training, work allocation and professional standards. VMG coordinates the local operating environment.

Workspace
Remote working, coworking or a dedicated office — in Bangalore, Delhi NCR or another Indian location.
Equipment & infrastructure
Computers, connectivity, access and the practical infrastructure a working team requires.
Local vendors
Identifying, engaging and managing Indian suppliers and service providers on your behalf.
