Offshore done right
Offshore development is not about cheap labour. It is about a governed, scalable extension of your engineering org — under your tech leadership, your release cadence, your code-review bar — but with the HR, infrastructure, security and people continuity sitting with us.
We've stood up offshore development centres (ODCs) for enterprises across the USA, UK and Middle East from our hubs in India, Kenya and the UAE, with a 90%+ engineer retention rate. Our ODC clients have stayed 4+ years on average.
How an ODC compares to other engagement models
| Staff Augmentation | Offshore Development Centre | Global Capability Centre | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engagement length | Weeks to months | 1–5 years | Multi-year, captive |
| Engineers report to | You | You (via our lead) | You (via your captive) |
| HR, infra, payroll | Redian | Redian | You (we set up) |
| Best for | Spike capacity | Long-term capacity | Permanent shore |
| Ramp time | 2 weeks | 6–10 weeks | 3–6 months |
What's in a Redian ODC
- 5–50+ engineer teams matched to your stack and seniority bar.
- Dedicated team lead on the Redian side — accountable for delivery, attrition and quality.
- Your processes inside — your standups, your Jira, your release cadence, your code-review gates.
- Redian operations — HR, payroll, benefits, infrastructure, security, IT — all handled.
- Quarterly business reviews with the founders and your sponsor.
How we ramp an ODC
- Scoping (2 weeks) — team shape, seniority mix, target stack, governance model.
- Hiring & vetting (4 weeks) — pre-vetted candidates from our 420+ engineer pipeline; you interview the shortlist.
- Onboarding & integration (2–4 weeks) — engineers learn your codebase under our team lead's supervision.
- Steady-state delivery — quarterly OKRs, monthly delivery reports, weekly standups with your team.
Where we operate
- India (Noida — Global HQ) — full stack of engineering, AI/ML, BFSI, CRM/ERP, mobile and DevOps talent.
- Kenya (Nairobi — Africa Regional HQ) — BFSI specialists, time-zone overlap with Europe.
- UAE (Dubai — Middle East Regional HQ) — local presence for GCC-region enterprises.
When clients pick an ODC over staff aug
You're hiring offshore for the long term, you want a dedicated team rather than rotating individuals, and you want one accountable lead rather than managing many individual contracts. That's exactly when an ODC pays for itself.
