Service Overview
Occams’ Employer of Record (EOR) solution enables US-based businesses to onboard employees in India quickly while shifting the responsibility for payroll processing, benefits administration, and statutory compliance to Occams. This service is particularly beneficial for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), startups, and scaling companies navigating India’s complex labor and tax environment. Key features of the solution include seamless employee onboarding and offboarding, payroll and benefits administration, compliance with regulations such as Provident Fund (PF), Employee State Insurance (ESI), gratuity, and labor laws, as well as comprehensive Human Capital and employee lifecycle management.
Market Context
India’s workforce landscape is rapidly evolving. With over 63 million MSMEs employing more than 110 million people, the need for compliant, scalable workforce solutions is critical. According to NITI Aayog (India’s premier policy think tank and a strategic policy-making body), MSMEs contribute nearly 30% to India’s GDP, yet many face challenges navigating the country’s labor regulations and compliance requirements. The Indian staffing industry, including EOR solutions, is projected to grow at 20+% annually, driven by digital adoption, formalization of employment, and the rise of flexible work models. Businesses using EOR services report faster hiring cycles and up to 40% cost savings compared to in-house human capital compliance management.
Business Impact

The service supports faster expansion by enabling hiring across India without the need for separate Human Capital and compliance infrastructure. It also drives cost savings by reducing the overhead associated with maintaining entity-level compliance teams. Additionally, Occams’ EOR enhances talent retention by ensuring employees receive timely payroll, statutory benefits, and professional Human Capital support, helping businesses maintain a motivated and stable workforce
