How to hire a dedicated tech team in Kolkata (and when it makes sense)
A dedicated team in Kolkata gives you a stable, ring-fenced group of engineers and designers working only on your roadmap — priced monthly, managed jointly, and cheaper than building the same team in-house.

Dedicated team vs fixed project vs in-house
A fixed-scope project suits a well-defined deliverable with a clear finish line. A dedicated team suits an evolving product where requirements change monthly and institutional knowledge matters.
Compared with hiring the same people in-house, a dedicated team in Kolkata removes recruitment lead time, HR overhead and bench risk, and lets you scale up or down with notice rather than layoffs.
How the model works
You define the roles and interview the candidates. The partner employs them, handles retention, equipment and leave cover, and bills a predictable monthly rate per person.
Day to day, the team joins your standups, your board and your repositories. You own the backlog and the priorities; the partner owns delivery health and staffing.
What to check before committing
Do you interview and approve each hire? What is the historic attrition, and what happens when someone leaves? Who owns the IP and the code — is it assigned to you in writing? What is the notice period to scale down? Is there a lead or EM included, or is management entirely on you?
Frequently asked questions
- What is a dedicated development team?
- A ring-fenced group of engineers and designers employed by a partner but working exclusively on your product, following your priorities and processes, billed at a fixed monthly rate per person.
- When is a dedicated team better than a fixed-price project?
- When the scope is still evolving, the work is ongoing, and continuity of knowledge matters. Fixed-price is better for a bounded deliverable with a clear specification.
- Do we own the code a dedicated team writes?
- Yes, if the contract assigns IP to you. Confirm this is explicit before you start — it should not be a negotiation later.
