What cultural differences mean for your collaboration

Hierarchy versus equality

In India, respect for hierarchy is common, while the Dutch communicate in a flat and direct way. We train specialists to think along proactively in a Dutch team culture.

A strong technical and analytical foundation

India has a large pool of well-educated IT and data professionals. That means your specialist can often be deployed broadly alongside the core task.

The time difference works in your favor

With a limited time difference, your specialist can largely work within Dutch office hours, with room for overlap when that is needed.

How much does it cost to get
an Indian specialist?

You often hire a freelancer from India by the hour and an agency charges an extra markup. At Remote Opus you get a full-time Indian specialist starting at 995 euros per month, with no surprises afterwards.

Your specialist is fully onboarded into your way of working and communicates directly with your team. Because the collaboration is full time, there is room left for related tasks such as reporting or process improvement. That way you benefit from more than just the original request.

Why cultural differences don't have to be an obstacle?

Many Dutch companies hesitate about working with India because of differences in communication style and hierarchy. With the right guidance, that difference actually becomes an addition to your team.

Training focused on Dutch work culture

Our specialists are trained in direct, results-focused communication, so they fit seamlessly with the way Dutch teams work together.
