01 / THE ENGINEERING BACKOFFICE MODEL

One partner. Two connected capabilities.

An engineering backoffice gives you access to experienced application engineering capacity through a single UK partner, without the cost, time and risk of building an internal team from scratch.

Founded in the UK in 2011, Ekavat is structured around two connected capabilities: a UK-facing team responsible for requirements, governance and account management, and a dedicated engineering centre responsible for build, test and support.

India Remote Office

Your India office — built and run for you.

A GCC-style remote office, right-sized for growing companies. Start with a dedicated Chennai team without taking on the full burden of an Indian entity, local HR operations, IT infrastructure and office administration.

Launch

Start with 5–10 people

Recruitment and vetting, HR, payroll, compliance, workspace, IT setup and initial governance.

Scale

Grow to 10–30 people

Add delivery management, PMO, performance reporting and stronger security processes as the team grows.

Enterprise

Build toward 30–100 people

Add department leadership, finance operations and executive governance as the operation matures.

01 / BUILD

Define & Recruit

Define roles, source and vet talent, set up workspace and IT, and establish HR, payroll and compliance.

02 / OPERATE

Run the Team

Your team works exclusively on your priorities while the India-side operation is managed for you.

03 / SCALE

Grow with Demand

Add roles as your needs grow and introduce stronger governance and delivery management.

04 / TRANSFER

Own It Later

If you eventually want your own Indian entity, the team, workspace and knowledge can transition to you.

Designed for companies that have outgrown outsourcing — but aren't ready for a traditional GCC.

Start with your first pod.

Let's define the roles, timeline and operating model for your initial Chennai team.
