Offshore software development for European companies

English-speaking engineering teams for European companies, with GDPR-ready contracts and only 3.5–4.5 hours between our team and Central European time.

Overview

European companies come to us for offshore software development when local hiring is slow and nearshore rates have climbed. We build custom software, AI features and mobile apps, and supply dedicated teams. All of it is delivered in English by our in-house team in Srinagar, India.

Time zones that work

Your locationTime difference to our teamTypical overlap
Ireland, Portugal4.5–5.5 hoursYour morning to mid-afternoon
Germany, Netherlands, France, Nordics3.5–4.5 hoursMost of your working day
Finland, Baltic states2.5–3.5 hoursNearly your full working day

That is a shorter gap than most US clients have with any offshore team, which makes embedded developers and daily standups practical.

GDPR and data transfers

India does not have an EU adequacy decision, so personal data needs a legal transfer mechanism. We sign a data processing agreement based on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses before any personal data is shared. We can also keep production data in EU cloud regions, so engineers work with anonymised or synthetic data where possible.

Services for European clients

Language and working style

We work in English: specs, standups, code and documentation. For German, Dutch or French user interfaces we build in full internationalisation support and work with your translators or ours.

FAQ

Common questions

1

Is offshore development in India GDPR compliant?

It can be, with the right safeguards. Data processing agreements with Standard Contractual Clauses, minimal access to personal data and EU-region hosting are the usual approach, and they are how we work.

2

How does offshore compare with nearshore development in Europe?

Nearshore teams in Eastern Europe share your time zone almost exactly. An Indian team has a 2.5–5.5 hour gap, which still allows a large daily overlap, and usually costs less.

3

Do you work with companies in Ireland?

Yes. Ireland shares the UK’s time difference to our team, 4.5–5.5 hours, so overlap covers the Irish morning and early afternoon.
