Moving off Multiplier, in three steps.

The same sequence for every team, regardless of size.

  1. Review what you have

    We go through what Multiplier holds for your India team (contracts, payroll records, registrations) and list what carries over and what needs to be reissued.

  2. Employment on our own entity

    Your people are issued Indian appointment letters on Bridge91’s own entity, with Provident Fund, ESI and the state-specific registrations raised for each role.

  3. First payroll

    The first Bridge91 payroll runs from the date you pick, structured by the Chartered Accountant who sits on our board.

Questions worth asking before you switch.

Can we move from Multiplier without a gap in payroll?

Yes. Bridge91 prepares the appointment letter, the statutory registrations and the first payroll for the start date you choose. You agree the end date of your current arrangement with Multiplier.

Will our people see a break in their employment?

No. Their role and salary stay the same. The only change is the employer named on their Indian appointment letter, which becomes Bridge91 from the date you agree.

Can we keep Multiplier for other countries and use Bridge91 for India?

Yes. Keep Multiplier for the other countries you hire in, and run your India hires on Bridge91's own Indian entity, with one itemised invoice for India each month. Bridge91 specialises in India, so it sits alongside a provider that covers the rest of the world.

What happens when we want our own Indian entity?

Bridge91 Elevate sets it up for you. It incorporates the company, completes the statutory registrations, the FEMA reporting and the Indian bank account, and moves your team across. You can make the move whenever you are ready, because Bridge91 has no minimum term and holds no deposit.

Do you pay contractors in India too?

Yes, through Bridge91 CoR (Contractor on Record). Each contractor gets an agreement written for Indian law. Bridge91 deducts tax at source, issues Form 16A every year and handles GST on every invoice. Contractors join the same group health policy as employees from day one.

What support do we get on day one?

Instant support, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by WhatsApp and email, and one named person for your account. On average, a new hire's first pay arrives in under 24 hours from agreed terms.

Which Indian filings does Bridge91 run?

Bridge91 runs each of these in-house, directed by the Chartered Accountant on its board: Provident Fund, ESI, income tax deducted from salary (TDS) with Form 24Q and Form 16, gratuity, professional tax in each state, Shops and Establishments registration in each state, and GST and Form 16A on contractor invoices. The compliance section of this page sets each one beside what Multiplier publishes, with a link to Multiplier's own page and the date we read it.
