"We were hiring senior architects in India from Singapore, with no local entity. Getting the employment structure in place was one thing, but getting the salary structure exactly right was what let us close the hires."

The Challenge

Senior hires. Singapore entity. India comp complexity.

Bluesheets.io(now fileAI), registered in Singapore, wanted to build its India team with senior technical roles: a Lead Solutions Architect and a Senior Manager of Solutions Architect. No India entity meant no direct hire path. But the bigger problem wasn't just getting the paperwork in order.

The candidates they wanted came with existing compensation structures. Match those structures and you close the hire. Miss them and the candidate walks. At this level of seniority, that margin is slim.

Bluesheets.io needed a partner who could provide the legal employer framework in India and map every component of each candidate's salary structure accurately, before the window closed.

"Gloroots mapped every component of the candidates' existing packages accurately. That's what brought them across the line."
Head of People, Bluesheets.io

The Solution

Exact match. Every component.

Gloroots became the Employer of Record in India, handling the legal employment infrastructure Bluesheets.io didn't have locally.

The work didn't stop at the offer letter. Gloroots structured the compensation to mirror each candidate's existing benefits, base salary, allowances, statutory components, and deductions, exactly. No rounding, no approximation. The candidates could see their current package reflected in what they were being offered, which removed the hesitation that typically kills senior hires.

All onboarding documentation and payroll were set up from day one, with no gaps in the transition.

The Results

3 hires. Exact comp. No talent lost.

  • 3 employees onboarded in India for a Singapore-registered company with no local entity
  • Lead Solutions Architect and Senior Manager Solutions Architect successfully placed
  • Salary structure matched exactly to each candidate's existing compensation, no discrepancies
  • Clean onboarding and payroll from day one, with zero administrative overhead for Bluesheets.io
"The comp matching was what made the difference. Onboarding was clean, salary structures were set up correctly from the start, and payroll ran without issues."
