Dedicated Teams
Your own engineering centre in India, run for you
We set up an engineering unit under one delivery head. It works under your brand, with your process. Brihat carries the payroll, equipment, office and statutory work, and you manage the engineering.
Who does what
| You | Brihat | |
|---|---|---|
| Product and priorities | Decide them | Deliver against them |
| Engineering process and tools | Set them | Follow them |
| Day-to-day running | Review it | One delivery head runs it |
| Engineers | Approve each one | Recruit, employ and pay |
| Office, equipment, statutory work | Nothing to arrange | Provide and handle them |
| Security controls | Receive the evidence | Operate ISO/IEC 27001 controls |
How a centre is set up
- 01You describe the work and the roles it needs.
- 02We propose the delivery head and the first engineers.
- 03You interview and approve each person.
- 04The first engineers start in your repositories, pipeline and ticket board.
- 05More people join in steps, each step agreed before it happens.
How long set-up takes and how large the first team is are agreed at the start of the engagement.
The delivery head
The delivery head plans against your priorities, keeps the centre staffed and reports to you each fortnight. Your engineering lead gives technical direction and your product owner sets the order of work. Branching and releases follow the rules of the team you already run, and a second engineer reviews every change.
For your security reviewer
The centre runs ISO/IEC 27001 controls, and Brihat holds the standard. Audit evidence for those controls is available to your reviewer.
Growing and shrinking
The centre grows when you ask it to, in agreed steps. Scaling down takes a quarter's notice. If an engineer leaves, replacement terms are agreed in the contract. A problem the delivery head cannot settle goes up to an architect and the founder.
Moving it onto your books
A centre that has grown into a long-term part of your engineering can convert to build-operate-transfer, so the engineers become your employees on terms set in that contract. Your code stays in your repositories either way.
When a centre fits
Choose a centre for steady work big enough to need its own manager. For something smaller, a pod or a few specialists fit better. The guide to offshore engineering, security and IP lists what a review sheet asks.
Questions buyers ask
It is an engineering unit in another country that works as an extension of your company. Here, Brihat employs the people and runs the office; you direct the work.
You do. It goes into your repositories from the first commit.
A dedicated team is engineers added to your process. A centre adds a delivery head and the whole operating base: office, payroll, equipment and statutory work. See the models compared.

The first call is 45 minutes with an architect, usually the founder. It is free, and we will sign an NDA first if you ask.
