US–India Innovation Bridge (CoE Setup)

The Problem We Solve

Establishing a Centre of Excellence in India delivers real advantages: access to top-tier engineering talent, significant cost efficiency, and a time zone offset that enables round-the-clock development velocity. But setting it up wrong — wrong location, wrong hiring, weak IP protection, poor governance — creates problems that take years to unwind. We have built this model. We set it up for you and run it until it runs itself.

What We Do

Four structured disciplines — from team setup and facility to governance and IP protection.

👥 Dedicated Engineering Team Setup

Talent profiling and role definition aligned to your program
Recruitment of senior and specialist engineers — not generic IT resources
Onboarding and alignment to your quality system and ways of working
Performance management and retention structure design
Team scaling plan as the program grows

🏢 CoE Facility & Process Setup

Facility identification and fitout across Tier 1 and Tier 2 India cities
Equipment, tooling, and lab setup for device development or manufacturing
IT infrastructure, VPN, and secure remote access
Process playbooks and operating rhythms aligned to your HQ cadence
ISO 13485-compatible QMS extension to the CoE

📊 Program Governance & Reporting

Program management structure between HQ and CoE
Sprint and milestone reporting cadence
Escalation protocols and decision-making frameworks
Regular steering committee cadence with senior leadership
KPI dashboards for productivity, quality, and schedule

🔐 IP Protection Frameworks

IP ownership structuring under India contract law
NDA and IP assignment agreement templates specific to India
Source code and design file access controls
Employee IP agreement frameworks
Export control and ITAR compliance advisory

Who This Is For

We work with global device companies establishing or scaling India engineering presence.

US and European device companies establishing India engineering presence for the first time

Companies seeking to transition from an outsourced vendor to a controlled internal team in India

Firms requiring a long-term, IP-protected development centre in India

Organisations scaling R&D capacity without proportional cost increase

Why 369 Innovations

We have built CoE models across engineering disciplines in India. We know what works, what fails, and what the critical decisions are in the first 90 days. We de-risk the setup so your India team is productive from month one — not month twelve.

Key Differentiator: End-to-end CoE setup with IP protection and operational governance — not just recruitment.

Build Your India Engineering Centre. Without the Setup Risk.
