India-Ready HR Frameworks for Foreign Companies

For foreign companies, managing HR in India goes far beyond people operations—it is a critical compliance and risk management function. India’s new Labour Codes and evolving 2026 enforcement environment require international businesses to adopt India-specific HR policies that align with local laws while remaining consistent with global HQ standards.

M+V Altios supports foreign companies entering or expanding in India by designing compliant, scalable, and audit-ready HR frameworks. We help international HQs translate Indian labour regulations into practical HR policies that reduce regulatory exposure, prevent workforce disputes, and support long-term business continuity.

HR Policy & Governance Services for Foreign Companies

• India-Compliant HR Structuring

We design organizational hierarchies, reporting structures, and role frameworks that meet Indian employment law requirements and operational expectations.

• Job Architecture & Workforce Classification

We draft legally compliant job descriptions and define employee categories (permanent, fixed-term, contract, expatriate), helping foreign companies avoid misclassification and labour disputes.

• Performance & Appraisal Frameworks

We define KRAs and KPIs aligned with Indian wage, bonus, and incentive regulations, ensuring performance management systems are compliant and defensible during audits.

• Compensation & Benefits Alignment

We structure salaries, variable pay, and benefits in line with statutory wage definitions and social security obligations under India’s Labour Codes.

• Succession Planning & Governance

We establish leadership continuity and succession frameworks to support stability, compliance, and investor expectations in India.

• Labour Code–Aligned HR Compliance

We embed compliance with the Code on Wages, Industrial Relations Code, Social Security Code, and OSH Code into HR policies, handbooks, and contracts—ensuring audit and inspection readiness.

Why This Matters for Foreign Companies

• High enforcement risk under India’s Labour Codes from 2026 onward
• Increased inspections, audits, and documentation scrutiny
• Exposure of global HQ and directors to compliance failures
• Misalignment between global HR policies and Indian law
• Workforce disputes impacting operations and brand reputation
• M+V Altios helps foreign companies address these risks proactively with structured, India-ready HR governance.
