About ManagedTeams.co
ManagedTeams.co is a specialized initiative by Zenkins that helps startups, SMBs, and enterprises build dedicated remote engineering teams in India — with full operational management, faster onboarding, and predictable scaling. No HR overhead. No legal entity. No surprises.
A full-service technology company with proven expertise across software development, IT infrastructure, and managed offshore delivery.
Built for the Gap Between Global Ambition and Indian Execution.
The world’s fastest-growing tech companies know India offers something rare: exceptional engineering talent at a fraction of Western costs. But the distance between knowing that and actually building a reliable, high-performance team here is where most companies get stuck.
Compliance complexity, infrastructure setup, talent pipelines, HR operations, payroll, and day-to-day management — each one is a full-time job on its own. Most founders end up either giving up or settling for staff-augmentation agencies that extract margin and deliver mediocrity.
ManagedTeams.co was built to close that gap. As a specialised arm of Zenkins, we focus exclusively on building, operating, and scaling dedicated remote engineering teams in India — so global companies can own their teams without the operational burden.
Zenkins was founded as a remote-first technology company, building software, Azure cloud infrastructure, and managed IT services for US and UK clients. Dedicated offshore teams, DevSecOps pipelines, and 70–100 user infrastructure environments gave us the operational DNA most agencies lack.
Across every engagement, clients asked the same question: “Can you just run the whole team for us?” They didn’t want staff augmentation. They wanted a managed engineering arm — with accountability, continuity, and delivery ownership built in from the start.
We productised what we’d been doing naturally: recruiting, onboarding, housing, paying, and operating dedicated engineering teams in India — end to end. ManagedTeams.co makes that repeatable and scalable for startups, SMBs, and enterprises worldwide.
From a single senior engineer to cross-functional squads of 20+, we build and operate your remote engineering arm — with delivery governance, technical leadership, and full operational management included from Day 1.
Operational DNA, Proven at Scale.
ManagedTeams.co inherits years of remote-first delivery expertise from Zenkins — built in the trenches of real client engagements, not assembled on paper.
Software Development
Full-stack engineering with deep specialisation in custom software, Azure, and modern SaaS architecture. Production systems delivered for clients across the US and UK.
IT Infrastructure & Azure
End-to-end Azure environment design, DevSecOps pipelines, and remote workstation management. Environments of 70–100 users audited with zero-trust security policies.
Managed Services
Ongoing support, monitoring, and optimisation of client infrastructure. Running as a seamless extension of internal IT teams — remote-first, time-zone aware, fully accountable.
Offshore Development Centers
The original Zenkins model — dedicated offshore teams embedded in client product cycles. ManagedTeams.co extends this with faster setup and zero legal complexity.
Everything Staff Augmentation Isn’t.
We don’t sell bodies on a bench. We build and operate the engineering arm of your business — with full accountability at every layer.
❌ Traditional Staff Augmentation
- ✕ High dependency on individuals — team collapses when one person leaves
- ✕ Zero delivery ownership — no accountability for outcomes or timelines
- ✕ Constant hiring cycles, replacement delays, and onboarding overhead on your side
- ✕ Operational burden dumped back onto your internal team every sprint
- ✕ Knowledge continuity risk every time a contractor rotates out
- ✕ Hidden agency markups of 40–60% on every engineer billed
✅ ManagedTeams.co
- ✓ Dedicated teams — 100% allocated to your roadmap, never shared across clients
- ✓ Delivery management and governance built in from Day 1 — we own the outcomes
- ✓ Technical leadership included by default — senior-led, not junior-heavy
- ✓ Fully managed ops — HR, payroll, compliance, and infrastructure handled end to end
- ✓ Long-term knowledge retention and operational continuity baked in from Day 1
- ✓ Transparent cost-plus model — no hidden margins, no black-box billing, ever
Values We Won’t Compromise On.
We didn’t build ManagedTeams.co to be another outsourcing vendor. We built it to be a genuine extension of your engineering organisation — with values that match yours.
Ownership, Not Dependency
Everything we set up — your team, your contracts, your infrastructure, your processes — is designed to belong to you. Our goal is to make ourselves operationally unnecessary over time, not to create lock-in. You direct the work; we ensure it gets done.
Radical Transparency
You see every rupee. Our cost-plus model means no markups hidden inside “management fees.” What engineers earn, what infrastructure costs, what ManagedTeams.co charges — all on one clear invoice. No surprises. No black box. Ever.
Culture Before Headcount
We don’t staff bodies. We curate engineers who will integrate into your rituals, care about your product, and stay for the long term. The first hire we get wrong is the one that costs you six months — so we move thoughtfully, not just quickly.
Delivery Governance by Default
Every engagement includes structured reporting, sprint reviews, performance dashboards, and a named delivery lead. You shouldn’t have to chase status updates. Accountability is the product — not an add-on.
What You Can Always Count On.
These aren’t aspirational values or SLA footnotes. They’re hard commitments that every ManagedTeams.co engagement is built around — from day one.
From signed agreement to your first stand-up with your dedicated team — every step owned by us.
Your team, your code, your intellectual property. Every engineer signs full IP assignment agreements on Day 1.
Indian labor law, EPF, GST, compliance, office — all handled end to end. No $100k upfront. No 12-month setup.
One point of contact — always reachable in your time zone. Not a ticketing system. Not a CRM bot.
Scale up or down with zero hiring overhead. No long-term lock-in, no renegotiation cycles.
