Talk about NB Build

What's included

Everything required to go from decision to operational.

India entity formation

Private Limited company incorporation, registered office, bank account opening, director appointments, and all statutory registrations (GST, PF, ESI, Professional Tax, Shops & Establishment).

Office and workspace

Managed workspace or leased office sourcing in your target city. Location shortlist with commute analysis, infrastructure review, and expansion flexibility assessed before you sign.

Talent acquisition

End-to-end hiring: job architecture, JD creation, sourcing strategy, recruiter coordination, screening, assessment, offer management, and onboarding for every role.

Site Leader search

The most critical hire. We define the profile, run the search, assess for both technical credibility and cultural alignment, and run a structured onboarding process once selected.

Compliance and payroll

Compliance calendar covering PF, ESI, GST, Professional Tax, and Labour Welfare Fund. Payroll setup with statutory deductions. You operate compliantly from day one.

12 human-verified gates

No phase proceeds without your sign-off at a defined decision gate. You maintain full visibility and control at every critical step. Nothing is automatic.

Common questions

About NB Build

Do I need to complete NB Assess first?

It is the recommended path. NB Assess produces the talent landscape, location recommendation, and readiness score that NB Build uses as its starting point. Starting Build without that intelligence increases execution risk significantly.

How long does NB Build take?

With our partner network, entity formation and workspace are typically ready in 4 to 6 weeks. Getting your team fully hired and operational takes longer — typically 3 to 9 months, depending on headcount, roles, and location. We scope the timeline precisely during onboarding.

Who does the actual work on the ground?

NordBridge coordinates with a network of verified delivery partners for entity formation, legal work, and workspace sourcing. Talent acquisition is run directly by the NordBridge team. You have one point of accountability throughout.

Do we own the entity?

Yes. The India entity is incorporated with your company as the ultimate beneficial owner. Your IP is created and owned by that entity. At the end of NB Build, you have a fully-owned India subsidiary.

What happens after the 12 gates?

You receive a structured handoff: operating procedures, compliance calendar, vendor contracts, team structure, and a 90-day plan. NordBridge remains available for advisory support and for future CoE expansion through NB Build Phase 2.
