Offshore Development Rates
Offshore Outsourcing Rates for Development and designing in India
Although it is not possible to give you real idea on this but based on my 13 years’ experience dealing in to India offshore development market, I can provide you following indicative rates. Since I also work as consultant I can even refer to you few of trusted vendors who may be not visible at all on Internet but have decent and established business in India in various small or tier 2 cities with clients from various location of world including Germany, India, USA, UK, Australia, Singapore etc.
My personal advice is go for reliable company of small to mid-size in business since more than 5 years and have reference clients in your region or country. NEVER EVER Go for individuals as they can produce amazing results one day and the other day they may be not reachable at all as they have different priorities than your work. Especially in India families are very high priorities and local companies can manage your expected professionalism not individual. The hourly rates I have seen in market starts from $3/hr to even as high as $55/hr by a small group in India. However the end result is what you pay is what you get stuff.
If you are looking to hire for long term, I advise partner with local company with small team (to start with 1) and grow it to your liking. Always ask company whether they provide fixed rate monthly resource for you? in most cases you will hear YES. The economics of having offshore team hired for your company directly is an increasingly popular requirement and can match your bottom line expectation and ensuring great control of yours.
Following is just a reference based rate card, it may very from company to company and size and quality of delivery that company does.
