# SoTalented > SoTalented sets up and operates your satellite office in India. You manage the work. We handle everything else: dedicated talent, a premium office, payroll, compliance, equipment, and the full employee lifecycle, bundled into one service. Think of it as your office in your home city, and your office in India. We run the India one. ## What SoTalented is SoTalented is a satellite office provider. We are not a staffing agency, a recruitment firm, a freelancer marketplace, or an EOR-only platform. We bundle four things into a single offering: dedicated full-time talent, a premium co-working office in India (WeWork-grade), full lifecycle management across 7 phases and 42 touchpoints, and Employer of Record services. The client's only job is to manage the work. SoTalented handles the rest. ## What SoTalented is not - Not a freelancer marketplace. Our people are dedicated and on our payroll, not gig workers. - Not a recruitment agency. We run the full employee lifecycle, not one-shot placements. - Not an EOR-only platform like Deel, Remote, or Oyster. We bring the talent and the office, not just payroll. - Not a staffing or BPO company. Teams are dedicated to one client, not shared. ## Who we serve Companies in the US, UK, Europe (especially the Nordics), Singapore, and Australia, where local talent costs significantly more than equivalent talent in India. Focused on small to medium-sized companies, not enterprise. - Solo founders (1 person): a first dedicated hire, technical or executive support - Startups (2 to 20 people): dedicated teams to extend runway and ship faster - Scale-ups (20 to 250 people): whole functions without the overhead of a subsidiary ## Key facts - 50%+ cost savings vs local hiring - Up and running in under 3 weeks - 7 phases, 42 touchpoints of the employee lifecycle handled, where most competitors cover 2 to 14 - Dedicated professionals working from a premium WeWork-grade office in India, not from home - The SoTalented Office Guarantee: if a hire is not working out, we replace them, free - Single invoice per person, per month, covering talent, office, payroll, compliance, and equipment - No long-term contracts. Scale up or down anytime. - Background-verified, NDA-signed, IP-protected.
