What we run for you

Five moving parts. One point of accountability.

Most entity setups fail on handoffs, not paperwork. WorkforceWhiz runs every workstream directly, so nothing waits on a vendor you don't have a relationship with.

Incorporation

Private Limited, LLP, or branch office — structured for a foreign parent from day one.

SEZ / STPI Setup

Export registrations and customs approvals for software and IT-enabled exporters.

Talent Acquisition

Founding engineers and key executives sourced, vetted, and closed on the ground.

Office Real Estate

Plug-and-Play or Complete Build — Grade-A space sourced, negotiated, and fitted out ahead of your team's arrival.

Ongoing Compliance

Monthly accounting, payroll, tax filings, and ROC compliance that never lapses.

On the ground

From your HQ to four hubs we already know.

Every engagement routes through hubs we've operated in before — not a hub we're learning for the first time on your project.

The math

Why the savings go beyond salaries

Labor cost is the headline. It's only one line of the total picture.

60–75%

Labor & Engineering

Senior engineering talent at a fraction of North America / Western Europe cost.

40–50%

Capex Efficiency

Fit-out, cabling, and IT infrastructure cost per workstation.

3–4x

Opex Runway

Lower admin, accounting, and compliance overhead extends runway.

SEZ / STPI

Tax & Duty Incentives

GST exemption on exports and duty-free capital goods import.

The advantage

Why founders choose WorkforceWhiz

India rewards operators who've actually done this before — not advisors reciting regulation.

On the ground

Local industry expertise

Built and run software and IT businesses in India personally — this is operating experience, not theoretical advisory.

Compressed timelines

Fast-track regulatory clearances

Direct working relationships with ROC, STPI, and SEZ authorities shorten approval cycles that stall most first-time entrants.

Parallel execution

Zero-downtime execution

Legal, infrastructure, and hiring workstreams run in parallel, so you land with a functioning office — not just a certificate.

Beyond consulting

We build and own our own AI products.

PathwiseJobs.ai is an AI-powered career profile platform — designed, built, and owned outright by WorkforceWhiz, running under its own independent brand. It's the first venture under our roof, not a client project.

Key hires, HR policy, payroll, and background verification workflows.
