What this page is for

This appendix captures India-specific employment guidance that differs from the global baseline.

What you should do

Use this page to confirm:

  • how to use judgment around local holidays
  • when India employment is used as an exception
  • how Deel should be used for local paperwork and finance

Holiday approach

We do not observe a fixed India national-holiday list. India has many public holidays across states and communities, so we ask you to use reasonable personal judgment in planning time off.

This works alongside our unlimited holiday leave policy. We will formalize India-specific guidance further over time.

When in doubt, discuss your holiday plan with Robin.

Hiring policy for India

NOTICE: We do not normally hire in India as a standard location (outside NL hiring). India employment is reserved for exception cases only.

Who owns or approves it

Until we have a formal People Operations function, Robin owns this appendix and approves any India exception hiring case.

Where to go in the tool stack

We hire in India through Deel. You are expected to arrange your employment paperwork and finance-related setup through Deel.

What happens if something goes wrong

If holiday planning, hiring status, or Deel setup details are unclear, raise it with Robin before taking action.
