Seeing a lot more early-stage UK founders exploring Indian talent pools as a way to stretch runway without sacrificing quality. The EOR model (where a UK-registered company employs the staff in India on your behalf) has made it much more legally straightforward than it was 3–4 years ago.

For those who've done it:
→ What roles did you hire for first?
→ How did you manage onboarding remotely?
→ Any red flags or mistakes to avoid?

For those who haven't:
→ What's holding you back - quality concerns, legal uncertainty, or something else?
