The Model

Build, operate, then transfer.

The Build-Operate-Transfer framework was pioneered in infrastructure and adopted by the world's largest consultancies. We apply it to offshore teams. We carry the ramp-up risk while the operation is being proven. When the model is working, ownership transfers to you.

  1. 01

    Build

    Build the team and the operation.

    We recruit, hire, and house the team under our entity. The cost of setup, employment, and infrastructure is ours to carry from day one.

    Learn how Build works
  2. 02

    Operate

    Run the team alongside you.

    Payroll, HR, and compliance run by us. Your work flows through the team day to day. You direct, we administer. Ramp-up risk stays with us until the model is proven.

    Learn how Operate works
  3. 03

    Transfer

    Transfer ownership when ready.

    The team, the entity, the operation, handed over on your terms. No commitment to a Sri Lankan subsidiary until you choose it. The transfer is yours to trigger.

The working day you share with Colombo.

The case for Sri Lanka is not cost alone. It is a deep pool of professionally qualified graduates, a Commonwealth legal framework that mirrors the one you already operate in, and a working day that meets both hemispheres.

3.0 hours of live overlap

3.0 hours of live overlap with London, so handovers happen in real time, not overnight.
