Offshore software development team for UK companies
Enarges Labs works with UK companies from Kerala, 4.5 to 5.5 hours ahead of London. London morning overlaps with our afternoon, and contracts follow UK GDPR from the first day.
UK GDPR and the transfer question
UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 govern personal data handled for UK clients, and the Information Commissioner's Office enforces them. The Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 amended parts of this regime. When UK personal data reaches our team in India, a transfer mechanism such as the International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Addendum is normally needed, unless an adequacy regulation covers the transfer. We put it in place before access starts.
A London morning and a Kerala afternoon
London 9 am is 2:30 pm IST in winter and 1:30 pm in summer. Sprint reviews, backlog decisions and release sign-off sit in that window. The Kerala morning, which falls in the London early hours, goes to deep build work and a written handover for the London morning.
UK payments and VAT
UK products commonly use Faster Payments, BACS for bulk transfers, Open Banking for account-to-account payments and card gateways for consumer sales. VAT treatment of our fees depends on the client's status and place of supply, so the proposal states the position and your accountant should confirm it.
Questions from United Kingdom
Something else? Ask us directly. First reply within 4 hours.
Is the time difference a problem for a UK client?
Not usually. The overlap is about 4.5 hours in winter and 5.5 in summer, and London's morning is Kerala's afternoon.
How do you handle UK GDPR for an offshore team?
We sign a data processing agreement, put the transfer mechanism in place, restrict access to named engineers and keep an audit trail. Your organisation stays responsible as controller for the purposes it sets.
Do you hold security certifications?
We do not claim certifications on this page. Our practices are SOC 2-ready, which means access reviews, change control and logging, and we will walk you through them.
Can you bid on UK public-sector work?
We check framework agreements and security requirements for each opportunity before we commit to a bid.
