Why European companies are choosing India over Eastern Europe.

Eastern Europe was the default choice for German, Dutch, and Nordic companies for over a decade. Poland, Romania, and Ukraine offered strong engineering talent at lower rates with convenient timezone overlap. That equation shifted after 2022.

Ukrainian outsourcing became unreliable overnight. Polish rates climbed 20 to 30% as displaced demand flooded the market. By 2026, a senior developer in Warsaw costs $50 to $80 per hour, approaching Frankfurt or Amsterdam rates.

India produces 1.5 million engineering graduates annually. English is the working language across every major tech hub. The cost difference is 40 to 60% lower than Poland at equivalent seniority, and the talent pool is 20 times larger.

The offshore concerns European companies raise

Rotating engineers, GDPR compliance gaps, project managers who sit between you and the builders, delivery that stops when the contract ends. These are symptoms of the wrong model. An offshore development centre with dedicated engineers assigned to your product eliminates every one of them.

Three ways to work with us from Europe.

All engagement models include NDA, GDPR compliance with Standard Contractual Clauses, dedicated engineers, and direct communication. No intermediaries.

Most teams choose this

Dedicated Team

A full engineering team (2 to 8 engineers) assigned to your product. They work in your tools, attend your standups during CET morning hours, and own delivery outcomes.

Full-time dedicated engineers

Team lead accountable to you

Scale up or down on 30-day notice

Minimum 3-month initial engagement

Best for ongoing product development

Project-Based

Fixed scope

Defined scope, fixed timeline. We handle architecture, development, testing, and deployment. You receive the finished product with full documentation.

Scoped deliverables and timeline

Milestone-based checkpoints

Full documentation and handoff

Starts from a scoping call

Best for defined builds with clear specifications

Team Extension

Flexible

Add 1 to 3 senior engineers to your existing team. They work as embedded members: same tools, same workflow, same accountability as your in-house engineers.

Embedded in your workflow

Senior engineers only

Direct communication, no middlemen

Month-to-month after initial period

Best for capacity gaps in existing teams

From scoping call to productive sprint in three weeks.

For agencies who need overflow engineering capacity, see our agency partnership model.

Scoping call

One 60-minute call scheduled during CET working hours. We map your stack, roadmap, and the team composition that fits.

Team assignment

Engineers selected based on your stack and domain. Senior engineer is the accountable lead. Team is dedicated to your product.

2-week onboarding

Codebase access, architecture call, ticket review. Standups scheduled during CET morning overlap. Productive by week three.

Ongoing delivery

Daily standups during European morning hours, sprint planning, code reviews. Leadership stays involved, not just at kickoff.

9-year engineering partnership

10+ enterprise systems for a publicly listed telecom company.

Tejas Networks has worked with the same engineering team since 2017. What started as a single procurement platform has grown into a partnership covering procurement, contracts, compliance, travel, expense management, R&D tracking, and vendor management: 10+ production systems and counting.

The team that built the first system is still building new ones today. Nine years of accumulated domain knowledge, codebase familiarity, and engineering trust that no new vendor can replicate. This is what a long-term dedicated engineering partnership looks like.

“Nine years with the same team. They know our systems better than most of our internal staff.”

You will know the people building your product.

Every engagement has a named senior engineer who leads delivery. Not a project manager relaying messages, but an engineer who writes code, reviews pull requests, and is accountable for what ships.

Company leadership stays involved beyond the sales call. Architecture decisions, sprint planning, escalations. The people who built the company are in the room with you, not just at kickoff.

This is why clients stay for years. You are not working with a rotating cast. You are working with people who accumulate context on your product and get better over time.

Discuss your team

Is this the right model for your European business?

An offshore development centre works best for companies that need ongoing engineering capacity, not a one-off deliverable.

Built for you if:

You are a SaaS founder in Germany, the Netherlands, or Scandinavia scaling engineering without tripling payroll

You are a European agency that needs white-label engineering depth for client projects. We are invisible, NDA from day one

Your internal team is stretched on maintenance and new product work has stalled. The ODC owns new development

You want the same engineers on your product month over month. Continuity matters

You need engineers in your tools by week three, not month three

Not what we do:

×IT staff augmentation or body shopping. We do not place contractors

×One-off fixed deliverables with no ongoing relationship

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

×Sub-$30k projects or domestic market work

×Generic IT outsourcing. We build product and platform software, not managed IT support

Common questions from European companies.

India (UTC+5:30) overlaps with Central European time by 3 to 4 hours daily. Your team is available from 9 AM CET through midday for standups, sprint planning, and real-time collaboration. The remaining hours run asynchronously. You arrive the next morning to completed pull requests, updated tickets, and a summary of what shipped overnight.

Poland and Romania were the default outsourcing destinations for European companies for 15 years. Post-2022, Polish rates climbed to $50 to $80 per hour, approaching Western European levels. India costs 40 to 60% less at equivalent seniority, with 20 times the talent pool and 30 years of enterprise delivery track record. The timezone gap is 2 to 3 hours more than Eastern Europe, and most teams find that manageable with structured async workflows. See our India vs Eastern Europe comparison for detailed analysis.

Yes. Every engagement includes a full NDA, GDPR-compliant data handling processes with Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), and contractual commitments to EU data protection standards. IP ownership sits with you from day one. We do not store, process, or retain client data beyond what the engagement requires. Data protection impact assessments are provided on request.

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

Minimum is a 2-engineer team on a 3-month initial engagement. Team size scales on 30-day notice. Most European clients start with 2 to 3 engineers and scale to 5 to 8 within the first year as the partnership matures.

First two weeks: access setup, codebase walkthrough, existing ticket review, and one 90-minute architecture call scheduled during CET morning hours. Most partnerships are productive by week three.

30-day notice to scale down or exit. No annual lock-in contracts. If something is not working, we fix it or you leave. That is the accountability model.

Portugal and Spain share European timezones and offer rates 20 to 30% below Western Europe. India offers rates 50 to 60% below Western Europe with a talent pool 50 times larger. For a 5-person team over 12 months, that difference is $150,000 to $250,000 in savings. Portugal wins only on timezone convenience. If your team can work with 3 to 4 hours of daily overlap, India delivers more engineering output per euro spent. See our nearshore comparison for cost breakdowns.
