Build your AI-enabled engineering center in India
A dedicated team in India, chosen and mentored by our senior engineers and trained in the AI workflows we use to ship enterprise software faster. You lead the work; we handle employment and operations on the ground.
Trusted by product and engineering teams at
A lasting team, or extra capacity for a project
Managed GCC
Your own India team, backed by our engineers
Engineers who work only on your product, use your tools and take direction from your leads. Our engineering leads mentor them, and our local team handles hiring, employment and operations. That's a Managed Global Capability Center (GCC): the commitment of an in-house team, without setting up a company in India.
Staff augmentation
Proven engineers, ready when the work is
Need extra capacity for a project or sprint? Our own engineers join your work for an agreed scope. They've already passed our assessments, learned our AI workflow and have a senior lead behind them, so there's no hiring process to run, and you scale back when the work is done.
Choose your team with engineering expertise behind you
Choose engineers who can do the work
You and the people closest to the work define who you need. Our engineers then test candidates on real technical problems, and our Engineering Aptitude Profile shows how they think and learn.
Your shortlist shows each candidate's strengths, gaps and what to probe in your interview. The final call is yours, with evidence behind it.
Make them part of your team
Your engineers use your email and tools, work directly with your people and take direction from your leads. Introductions, knowledge transfer, payroll and workplace setup are on us.
You sign with and pay our US company: one relationship, and no Indian entity to run.
Keep engineering support around the team
Our local engineering leads mentor your engineers and help clear technical blockers, so hard problems don't sit with one person. Weekly reviews with your leaders catch work that's stuck, and monthly two-way feedback surfaces problems before they grow.
Bring in skills you don't have in-house
Your India team can add new capabilities while your core team stays focused on the product.
- Put your data to work with data engineers and scientists who build pipelines, uncover insights and develop new data-led services.
- Bring your next product idea to life with software engineers focused on building it while your core team keeps improving what customers use today.
- Make testing part of every release with QA and automation engineers who build test coverage alongside your product team.
- Prepare your infrastructure for growth with cloud and DevOps engineers focused on deployment, reliability and scaling.
- Build more capable AI-assisted workflows with engineers who connect AI agents to your development tools and help build, evaluate and improve the harnesses around them.
Engineers you'd hire in the US. India-based economics.
We pay competitively in India to attract strong engineers, rather than chase the lowest hourly rate. You pay a monthly fee per engineer, based on role and level, with recruiting, local employment and ongoing support included.
An AI software factory, run by engineers who own what ships
AI agents can now plan, write and test code faster than any team could a few years ago. Speed is no longer the hard part; knowing what's ready to ship is. Our engineers work at the frontier of AI-assisted development, inside a delivery system that turns that speed into production-ready software. Agents take on more of the building, and our engineers decide what ships. That's how our teams deliver up to 400% faster without cutting corners.
Plan before building
AI maps out the approach for every change, whether it's a new feature, a fix or a refactor. Our engineers challenge and correct the plan first, which removes 30–40% of issues before any code exists.
Your standards built in
Project-specific guidelines capture your architecture, coding patterns and past bugs. AI works within them, so its output fits your codebase, and every pull request makes the guidelines sharper.
Reviewed by people
An AI check flags anything that breaks your guidelines. Then peers and senior engineers review every change, so nothing merges on AI's word alone.
Nothing ships on low confidence
Every merge carries a confidence score. A low score sends the work back for another round until it's ready, not just working.
Every new engineer learns this workflow on our internal products before joining your team, and our leads update it as the tools evolve.
We assess and support engineers using standards built over 12+ years
Our enterprise engineering work has taught us what to look for beyond a convincing interview: how someone reasons through a technical problem, questions a requirement and responds to code review. Senior oversight and multi-level code reviews give our hiring and mentoring teams practical standards to draw on when assessing candidates and helping your team improve.
Every candidate also completes the Innostax Engineering Aptitude Profile, our in-house assessment of critical thinking, problem solving, communication and how well someone follows instructions. Thousands of engineers have taken it, so we know what strong looks like before your interview starts.
Engineering for regulated products
If your product handles health or financial data, your team has to control who can access it and how it's handled, alongside the features you're building. We've worked across banking, healthcare and pharma, where those rules shape engineering decisions. Bring your security and compliance needs into the first conversation, and we'll agree who is responsible for what before the engagement starts.
SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance
See what the right engineers can help you build
For Tendable, whose auditing software NHS trusts and hospitals rely on, our engineers took on a fragile legacy platform. They added automated testing and refactored code as they worked on it, so bug fixes stopped creating new problems and the product could ship new features again.
For AccessSync, our front-end specialists picked up a UX overhaul that had been stalled behind customer work. The CEO saw progress every day, with written updates and video walkthroughs, while the internal team stayed focused on clients.

What clients say about working with Innostax
The Innostax team truly became a part of our team and were totally committed to what we were building. We had a genuinely brilliant experience.
Aisling Byrne Founder and CEO at Nuw I never have any problems, and the output and quality of work is outstanding. I would recommend Innostax to anyone.
Steven Scheffler CTO, Travelstart We are shipping new features nearly every day on a product that is very difficult to build. The quality of Innostax's work is very high, and the communication between our teams is very strong.

On a short first call, you'll come away knowing:
- Whether a dedicated team or a Managed GCC fits what you want to build, or if neither does.
- How each option compares with outsourcing on cost, control and how much you'd manage yourself.
- Which roles to hire first, and what it takes to get them productive.
- The most practical next step for your company.
Pick a time in our calendar. No preparation needed, and no obligation.
FAQ: Let's answer some practical questions
Yes. Your Managed GCC can work alongside the people who already know your product and customers. We help you recruit for the skills you need, whether you are adding specialist capability or expanding your existing team. You choose who joins and lead their work; we employ and support them locally.
Yes. Managed GCC recruitment covers the engineering ladder, from senior individual contributors to team leads and CTO-equivalent roles. You get a recommendation with strengths, concerns and what to probe in your own interview. You interview the shortlist and decide who joins the team.
Every engineer has a regular feedback rhythm, so problems surface early.
- Every week, project reviews and retrospectives bring our local leads and your team leaders together.
- Every month, you and the engineer give each other feedback in Slack. Your reporting manager scores the engineer on ownership, reliability, communication and similar areas, and the engineer scores the people they report to. Anything less than full marks needs a written reason, so the feedback is honest and actionable.
- Every quarter, a written performance review brings those months together, covering technical expertise, decision-making, communication and more.
Alongside this, our senior engineers and local lead mentor the team and help work through difficult problems in the India timezone.
A team based in India has a lower overall cost than a comparable US-based team. Managed GCC is a monthly engagement per engineer, and we invoice at the start of each month. The cost depends on the role and level. When your GCC needs temporary help, our burst capacity team can work alongside it. We'll discuss the scope and cost with you based on the skills and support you need.
You sign with, pay and deal only with Innostax Tech LLC, our US company. The contract covers Innostax Tech LLC and its Indian subsidiary as related parties. The subsidiary delivers the work and handles employment and operations in India, while you lead your engineers and make the technical decisions.
Innostax requires two months’ notice from departing engineers, and we use that window to find a replacement at no extra charge within the first year. For a performance issue, a performance-improvement plan kicks in with clear milestones; if it's still not working, the engineer leaves and Innostax carries the cost of finding the next person.
Yes. In a Managed GCC the engineers work for Innostax in India but they're your team: your email aliases, your branding, your priorities and your technical decisions. Innostax provides local employment, infrastructure and support; the client provides direction. If there's disagreement on a technical call, your team makes the final decision.
Our engineering experience includes banking, healthcare and pharma. We meet SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance requirements. If your team has specific security needs, bring them into the conversation before we agree on the engagement.
Innostax handles local employment, payroll and workplace setup, and helps coordinate introductions and knowledge transfer with your team. Your team provides the product context, sets priorities and makes technical decisions, with a lead you appoint running the day-to-day work. Our local GCC lead supports the engineers in India and helps resolve blockers. We define responsibilities together before the engagement begins.
