Talk to an expertOverview
An offshore development center gives you India's scale and costs while you keep the control you'd have over an in-house team.
Your own engineering team in Chennai, run by us and managed from Dubai. You keep full IP ownership and can take the centre over later.
We set up a ring-fenced team that works only on your products, with your tools and your engineering standards. They sit in our secure Chennai office, and your account lead is in Dubai, only 90 minutes behind.
Recruitment, office space, infrastructure, HR, payroll, compliance and retention are all on us. You decide the roadmap and own the code. If you later want the centre under your own legal entity, we'll transfer it.

FAQ
Offshore Development Center FAQs
Answers to common questions about our offshore development center services in Dubai and the UAE.
Ask us anythingWhat is an offshore development center?
An ODC is a dedicated team in another country that works only on your products. It differs from project outsourcing because you direct the work and own everything it produces. The partner looks after hiring, office space and day-to-day operations.
Why Chennai for an offshore team?
Chennai is one of India's biggest tech talent hubs. It has strong engineering colleges, solid IT infrastructure and only a 90-minute time difference with Dubai.
What is the Build-Operate-Transfer model?
Under Build-Operate-Transfer, we build and run your centre, then transfer the team, assets and processes to your own company after an agreed period. It's a lower-risk way to end up owning an offshore subsidiary.
How small can an ODC start?
Most centres start with five to ten engineers and grow from there. We size the first phase around your roadmap and budget.
