Question 1

What does StratEdge Global do?

Accepted Answer

StratEdge Global is a US-India EOR and global workforce company built for Seed-to-Series B startups. We provide five services in one platform: Employer of Record (EOR), HRMS via EMPLEYOR, AI CRM via NAVTRI, Resource Augmentation, and Managed Services. US startups use StratEdge to hire full-time employees in India and 85+ countries in as little as 48 hours — no entity setup, no law firm, no lock-in.

Question 2

How is StratEdge Global different from Deel, Remote, and Rippling?

Accepted Answer

Three key differences. First, StratEdge is India-specialist — not a platform that lists India as one of 150 countries. Our team has deep working knowledge of PF, ESI, TDS, Gratuity, DPDP Act, and Labour Codes 2026. Second, we are built for Seed-to-Series B startups — Deel charges $599/month per employee and requires annual contracts, Rippling requires purchasing multiple modules. StratEdge offers transparent startup pricing with no lock-in. Third, we offer five services in one relationship — EOR, HRMS, CRM, Resource Augmentation, and Managed Services — so founders don't need multiple vendors.

Question 3

How fast can StratEdge onboard an employee in India?

Accepted Answer

StratEdge's standard onboarding SLA is 48 hours. Once you share the hire details, StratEdge drafts a locally compliant employment contract within 24 hours, the employee signs, and payroll and statutory filings are set up immediately. Most EOR providers take 2–6 weeks. StratEdge has onboarded India hires in as little as 36 hours. This speed matters because your candidate has competing offers and cannot wait.

Question 4

What is EMPLEYOR?

Accepted Answer

EMPLEYOR is StratEdge Global's HRMS platform — the only HRMS built specifically for 10–200 person startups. It manages onboarding, leave, payroll, statutory compliance (PF, ESI, TDS, Gratuity), benefits administration, and employee performance in one dashboard. EMPLEYOR is calibrated to Indian labour law across all 28 states and 8 Union Territories, with full Labour Code 2026 alignment. It onboards India employees in 48 hours with no lock-in and transparent startup pricing.

Question 5

Can a US startup hire in India without setting up a local Indian entity?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Using StratEdge's Employer of Record (EOR) service, US startups can hire full-time employees in India without setting up a local Indian entity, engaging a law firm, or going through a 3–6 month setup process. StratEdge becomes the legal employer in India, handling all payroll, compliance, and statutory filings. The US company retains full operational control over the employee's work. This also eliminates Permanent Establishment (PE) risk for the US parent company.

Question 6

What countries does StratEdge Global cover?

Accepted Answer

StratEdge Global covers 85+ countries for EOR and global hiring. Core markets with the deepest compliance expertise include India, Philippines, Poland, Vietnam, Colombia, Mexico, South Africa, and Brazil. India is StratEdge's primary specialist market — the compliance infrastructure for India hiring is built from the ground up, not adapted from a global template.

Question 7

Does StratEdge Global have lock-in contracts?

Accepted Answer

No. StratEdge Global does not require 12-month lock-in contracts, annual commitments, or per-seat module purchases. Pricing is transparent, scales with team size, and is designed for startups — not enterprise procurement cycles. Clients pay one USD invoice per month covering all services used.

Question 8

What is Resource Augmentation at StratEdge Global?

Accepted Answer

Resource Augmentation at StratEdge Global means pre-vetted engineers, designers, and operators embedded directly into your team within 14 days. Unlike traditional staffing, these resources operate as part of your team under your direction — without the full-time employment commitment. It's the fastest way to scale a specific function without a permanent headcount decision.
