XcellConsult| Staff Augmentation

Cloud (Azure, AWS and GCP engineers and architects, DevOps and SRE, Kubernetes, VMware and migration, FinOps), cybersecurity (SOC analysts L1–L3, VAPT, GRC and ISO auditors, IAM engineers, vCISO support) and AI (data, ML, RAG/LLM and MLOps engineers, AI governance). These are role profiles; we share anonymised profiles for each requirement.

We aim to share profiles within a few business days and to start within two to three weeks of selection, depending on the role, notice periods and background-check time*. Short-term surge requests are prioritised.

Salary, statutory contributions, the background check, a hardened laptop, replacement cover and delivery management. Rates start at ₹74,999* a month for an L1 SOC analyst; a cloud engineer L2 is ₹1,24,999* and a cloud architect ₹2,49,999*. Night shifts, on-site residency and ODC bays carry the premiums shown on this page. All excl. 18% GST.

A seat that must be staffed around the clock needs three eight-hour shifts plus relief for weekly offs and leave, so we price a 24×7 seat as five engineers on rotation, with the night premium on two. Hand-overs are logged, and a backup engineer is briefed for each seat.

Our replacement SLA* aims to put a new profile in front of you within 10 business days, with an overlap for hand-over where possible. Because runbooks and notes are kept as part of the work, knowledge stays with your team.

Yes. The four labour codes took effect on 21 November 2025. They standardise the definition of wages, require appointment letters, extend gratuity to fixed-term employees after one year and move contract-labour rules into the OSH Code, where the chapter applies at 50 or more contract workers. XcellHost, as the employer, handles wages and statutory contributions; ask your counsel how the codes apply to your establishment.

Manpower and staffing services are taxed at 18% GST under forward charge, on the full invoice value including the salary component. XcellHost issues a monthly GST invoice; registered businesses can usually claim input tax credit, subject to the CGST Act's conditions.

Engineers sign an NDA, pass a background check with their consent and work on hardened XcellHost laptops or your managed devices. They access your data only in your systems, with least-privilege accounts you control, and our contract sets out DPDP processor obligations, logging and breach notice to you.

Yes, under contract-to-hire. After six months you can convert an engineer to your payroll for a conversion fee equal to one month's rate*, waived after 12 months on contract*. The engineer's consent and notice period apply.

Yes. Resident on-site engineers carry a ₹19,999* monthly premium, with travel and stay outside Mumbai at actuals. Remote engineers work from Mumbai, and a dedicated ODC bay with access control is available at ₹9,999* per seat a month.

We first share anonymised role profiles: skills, experience band, certifications and notice period. Names and full details follow once you shortlist, with the candidate's consent. We do not publish headcount or engineer names on this page.
