Dedicated Offshore Development Center - ODC Setup

Dedicated Offshore Development Center - ODC Setup

Your Own Development Center, Without the Overhead in India

Expanding your tech capacity shouldn’t mean a massive capital outlay or getting lost in the complexities of a foreign job market. You need a team that feels like your own department—fully aligned, deeply integrated, and solely focused on your goals—but without the crippling overhead of setting up a legal entity, leasing office space, and managing local HR in a country like India.

That’s the power of a Dedicated Offshore Development Center (ODC). With KS Softech, you’re not just outsourcing tasks; you’re establishing a strategic extension of your company in one of the world’s leading tech hubs. We handle every operational, legal, and administrative burden in India. You get a complete, custom-built tech unit—from developers and QA to project leads—operating as your seamless offshore arm. It’s the most effective way to scale engineering capability, access deep talent pools in cities like Mumbai , Bangalore and Pune, and drive product innovation with predictable, controlled investment.

The ODC Model: How It Works as Your Strategic Arm

An Offshore Development Center (ODC) differs greatly from project-based outsourcing. Instead of assigning a temporary team to deliver a single project, we build and manage a long-term, dedicated development unit that operates within your brand, follows your processes, and works under your direct management. Our commitment is to your company’s long-term success, acting as a true strategic partner—not a short-term vendor.

As part of the setup process, we take time to understand your technology roadmap, organizational culture, and working practices. Based on this discovery, we recruit specifically for your organization, assembling a tailored mix of talent—such as senior architects in Hyderabad, UX designers in Chennai, and backend developers in Delhi—matched precisely to your required tech stack and seniority levels.

We also provide the complete physical and virtual infrastructure needed to run your dedicated center, including secure workspaces, modern hardware, enterprise software licenses, and comprehensive IT support. You define the technical direction and handle day-to-day project priorities, while the team reports directly to your leadership, participates in your stand-ups, and is evaluated against your KPIs. You focus on steering the vision—we take care of keeping operations running smoothly.

Building Your Center: A Tailored Setup, Not a Template

Your ODC should reflect your company’s unique needs. We don’t offer a one-size-fits-all setup. The composition is built from the ground up based on your product lifecycle.

Are you building a new product line? We’ll staff it with full-stack product teams. Need ongoing maintenance and evolution of a legacy platform? We’ll build a team with specialized legacy modernization skills. Scaling your DevOps capability? We’ll establish a cloud and infrastructure pod. We can set up centers focused on mobile app development in Bangalore, AI/ML engineering in Pune, or enterprise software development in the NCR region. The location and talent strategy are tailored to your technical demands and our assessment of the best talent markets across India.

Complete Operational & Compliance Governance

The operational burden of running an offshore entity is where many companies hesitate. We eliminate that friction entirely. KS Softech becomes your local employer of record in India, handling all payroll, taxation, benefits, and labor law compliance. We manage facilities, cybersecurity, data protection (including GDPR adherence for European clients), and IP security protocols.

We establish clear, enterprise-grade communication channels and collaboration tools (like dedicated VPNs, Slack workspaces, and Jira instances) that make the distance disappear. You get transparent, consolidated reporting and a single point of contact for all operational matters. We provide the stability and security of a local entity, with the simplicity of a single vendor relationship.

The Strategic Advantage: Control, Scale, and Continuity

The real value of an ODC is strategic leverage. You gain absolute control over your tech destiny with a team that develops deep institutional knowledge of your codebase and business, leading to higher quality and faster execution over time.

You achieve an elastic scale. Ramp the team up or down based on product roadmaps without the trauma of local hiring cycles or layoffs. Most importantly, you ensure business continuity. Your critical product development is not dependent on a single geography or subject to local talent shortages. It’s a resilient, scalable engine for innovation that operates independently of your headquarters’ constraints, whether you’re based in the USA, Hong Kong, or the UAE.

frequently asked questions

We typically recommend starting with a pod of 5-10 professionals to establish a collaborative, sustainable unit. This can be a mix of roles (e.g., 2 backend devs, 2 frontend devs, 1 QA, 1 Lead). The model is designed to scale from there.

From contract to a fully staffed, operational team typically takes 8-12 weeks. This includes the recruitment cycle, infrastructure setup, and integration with your workflows. We work on a phased ramp-up plan.

You do. Your appointed technical manager or product lead provides task direction, sets priorities, and conducts performance reviews. We provide an onsite ODC Manager who handles administrative support, team morale, and ensures operational smoothness, but the technical project leadership comes from you.

IP protection is foundational. We implement strict legal agreements (IP Assignment Clauses), secure development environments, access controls, and confidentiality protocols. The ODC operates as a legally separate entity working exclusively for you, and all output is contractually yours.

Absolutely. We encourage it. We facilitate onboarding visits, regular leadership check-ins, and team-building events. We also use high-quality video conferencing and collaboration tools to maintain a constant, transparent connection.
