Should we set up an entity in Noida or use EOR first?

Once headcount exceeds 15–20 or you need to hold IP in India, we transition you to your own Private Limited company. The EOR-to-entity migration is seamless under our model — PF UANs, employment contracts, and compliance history all transfer cleanly.
