A senior engineering team in India that works like it's part of your company.

Not a vendor. Not a contractor marketplace. Software development outsourcing as a dedicated offshore development center model — a senior engineering team in India working on your product full-time, in your tools, accountable to your roadmap. White-label capable, NDA from day one. Most partnerships run 1–3 years. SaaS founders can also see our focused outsourced SaaS development service, or read more about what it looks like to hire software developers in India.

What is an offshore development center?

An offshore development center (ODC) is a dedicated engineering team based in another country that works on your product full-time — in your tools, on your roadmap, accountable to your delivery standards.

It is not staff augmentation. It is not a vendor delivering to a spec. The team is dedicated to your product — not shared across other clients, not rotated, not managed through a project manager who sits between you and the engineers.

The difference in output between an ODC and a traditional outsourcing arrangement is visible within 60 days. Continuity, codebase ownership, and accountability are built into the model — not bolted on. See our software development in India overview for how we compare to Vietnam, Poland, and Latin America.

Staff augmentation

Individual contractors

Shared across projects

You manage directly

Knowledge walks out the door

Hard to build accountability

ODC model (Madgeek)

Dedicated team, full-time

Your product only

Team lead accountable

Codebase continuity built in

Outcomes, not hours

The offshore horror stories you've heard

— rotating engineers who forget the codebase, project managers you brief four times before anyone builds anything, delivery that stops when the contract ends — are symptoms of the wrong model, not offshore development itself. The ODC model is the fix.

How this works in practice.

An Offshore Development Center is a dedicated team — engineers assigned to your product full-time, not shared across accounts. They're in your Jira, your Slack, your GitHub. They attend your standups. They understand your codebase. After three months, they're faster than most in-house hires. For agencies who need overflow engineering capacity on client projects, see our agency partnership model.

Talk to us

Three situations where an ODC is the right model.

SaaS founder

Series A, US-based, 3-person internal team

Problem: Needs to triple engineering capacity without tripling payroll

How it works: ODC team runs a full feature vertical — backend, frontend, integrations. Internal team does product and direction.

Agency partner

Digital agency, UK, £3M+ revenue

Problem: Client projects require engineering depth the agency doesn't have in-house

How it works: White-label ODC handles the engineering delivery. Agency owns the client relationship. NDA from day one.

Enterprise operations

200-person company, US/Canada, existing internal dev team

Problem: Internal team is stretched on maintenance; new product work is stalled

How it works: ODC team takes ownership of new product development while internal engineers focus on stability.

Is this the right model?

This is the right model if:

You need senior engineers working on your product full-time — not a one-off project build

You're a SaaS founder who needs to scale engineering without scaling payroll at the same rate

You're an agency with recurring client engineering work that your in-house team can't absorb

You want the same engineers on your product month over month — continuity and codebase ownership matter

You need white-label delivery — your clients never need to know

You want to move fast and need a team in your tools by week three

This is not what we do:

×IT staff augmentation or body shopping — we don't place contractors

×One-time fixed deliverables with no ongoing relationship

×Shopify themes, WordPress sites, or general mobile app development

×Sub-$30k projects or domestic Indian market work

×Generic 'IT outsourcing' — we build product and platform software, not managed IT support

Common questions about the ODC model.

Staff augmentation gives you people. An ODC gives you a team — with a defined scope, a lead engineer accountable to outcomes, and a working relationship built for continuity. You're not managing individual contractors. You're working with a team that owns a problem.

India (UTC+5:30) has a 4–5 hour overlap with UK mornings and 2–3 hours with US East Coast evenings. We structure daily standups and sync calls around your working hours. Most teams find the time zone difference a feature — work continues while your team is offline.

Yes. NDAs from day one, no Madgeek branding in deliverables, no disclosure to your clients unless you want it. A significant portion of our ODC partnerships are white-label — we're invisible by design.

We start from a 2-engineer team on a minimum 3-month engagement. Team size scales on 30-day notice.

You do. Everything built by the Madgeek ODC team is client IP from day one. Full source code, documentation, and transfer at any point.

First two weeks: access setup, codebase walkthrough, existing ticket review, and one 90-minute architecture call. Most ODC partnerships are productive by week 3. We don't need a six-week ramp.

30-day notice to scale down or exit. We don't lock you into annual contracts. If something isn't working, we fix it or you leave — that's the accountability model.
