Hire developers for your Singapore team
Singapore consistently ranks among Asia's most expensive tech talent markets — senior developers command SGD 8,000-15,000/month, and the city-state's small labor pool means hiring cycles stretch to 3-4 months. India sits just 2.5 hours behind SGT, making it the closest major tech talent market by timezone. Your 9am Singapore standup is 6:30am IST — within normal working hours for our developers. This near-zero timezone friction, combined with 50-65% cost savings and shared APAC business sensibility, makes India-Singapore the most efficient nearshore partnership in the region.

Questions from Singapore companies
Can your developers work on MAS-regulated fintech projects?
Yes. Our developers have experience building payment systems, digital banking features, and investment platforms that comply with Monetary Authority of Singapore guidelines. We implement appropriate security controls, audit trails, and data protection measures for regulated financial services.
Do you work with Singapore Government Tech (GovTech) projects?
We work with companies that build solutions for Singapore's Smart Nation initiative. Our developers are familiar with SGTS (Singapore Government Tech Stack) requirements and can implement solutions aligned with government digital standards.
How does the cost compare to hiring locally after CPF and benefits?
A senior developer in Singapore costs SGD 10,000/month salary plus 17% CPF employer contribution, plus leave and equipment — total approximately SGD 14,000/month. Through Geminate, the same caliber costs $3,000-5,000 USD/month (SGD 4,000-6,700/month), a 50-65% reduction in total employment cost.
