Train the team. Deploy the capability. Keep the people.
Most providers do one of these. Doing all three with one provider is the difference between an AI initiative that ends when the contract does and one that becomes part of how you work.
A cohort in the forward-deployed method.
Into the gap the cohort exposed.
Employed through Virdapt in India.
Train
A cohort takes your engineers through the forward-deployed method. It also does something a training programme is not usually bought for: it shows you precisely where your team's capability runs out. That is a diagnosis you cannot get from an assessment.
Deploy
We put FDEs into the gap the cohort exposed. They work alongside the engineers you just trained, on real production work. The training stops being theory in the same month it finishes.
Retain
The engineers who proved themselves on that work stay on — employed through Virdapt's Indian entity, already inside your systems, already knowing your domain. No re-hiring. No ramp-up. No Indian entity for you to set up.
Why this matters more than it sounds
The usual path is three vendors. A training company teaches a course and leaves. A consultancy builds something and leaves. A staffing firm finds people who have never seen any of it. Nothing carries across, and the capability you paid for three times does not compound.
Here, each stage makes the next cheaper and more likely to work. The cohort tells us what to deploy against. The deployment proves which people are good. The retention keeps them.
Virdapt finds the work, proves the team, then runs the team on your behalf.
Where to start
| If you are | Start with |
|---|---|
| Unsure where AI fits in your operation | A discovery engagement or a first cohort |
| Sitting on a stalled AI project | An FDE pilot |
| Confident in the plan and short on people | Virdapt EOR |
| Building an India team for the long term | EOR, then training as the team grows |
Training is the cheapest and lowest-risk place to begin. Most clients start there.
One conversation covers all three.
Tell us where you are and we will tell you which part you actually need. Often it is one, not three.
