Usually within a few days you can get setup. Mostly depends on how fast your company can sign all the documents.
The average onboarding time frame in India is 3 days with Deel. This is significantly faster than traditional expansion methods where setting up an entity means a local office, an address registered as a subsidiary, and an account with a local bank, plus navigating regional benefits, payroll, tax, and HR laws, which can take months. Deel's streamlined process includes automated compliance document collection, localized employment contracts, and immediate platform access. Deel even automates tax document collection, payroll, benefits, and more, eliminating most manual setup work. The 3-day timeline assumes you have your candidate ready and can complete contract signing and compliance documentation quickly. This speed advantage is crucial in India's competitive talent market where delays could mean losing top candidates.
