Colab91
Engagement model 01

Launch your offshore team. Maximum speed. We manage; you scale.

A dedicated team of procurement, analytics or technology specialists that works as an extension of your own function. Colab91 owns the entity the team works in and leads recruiting and quality control to your standards, so you can launch without setting up operations in India.

01
The model

How it works.

Your team, on our entity.

The team works within Colab91's entity, so you don't incorporate a company or set up an office to get started.

Hired to your standards.

Recruiters aligned by functional expertise find the specialists, and every hire is measured against the standards you set.

Quality we run.

Colab91 leads quality control of the team's work, against your standards.

Your work, your IP.

Everything the team produces belongs to you.

Questions

Questions, answered.

Who owns the work the team produces?

You do. Intellectual property belongs to the client in every Colab91 engagement model.

Whose entity does the team work in?

Colab91's. You don't need a legal entity in India for a Managed Team. If you want your own entity, look at Build-Operate-Transfer or a Global Capability Center.

How do you hire for the team?

Our recruiters are aligned by functional expertise, so specialists recruit specialists, and we hire against the standards you set.

What can a Managed Team work on?

Sourcing and procurement (buy-desk support, contract lifecycle management, strategic sourcing, category management), data analytics (data preparation, insights, predictive and classification modelling, business intelligence) and technology services (AI, systems integration, application development and testing, cloud).

Where is the team based?

In India, working from our office in Gurugram (WeWork Forum, DLF Cyber City).

How do we start?

Send us a brief. We begin with an assessment: we meet your stakeholders to understand your requirements and capability gaps, then design the team and the operating model with you.
