What InCommon does

InCommon (legal entity InCommon HQ Inc.) is a US-headquartered (Edgewater, New Jersey) managed-services platform that helps companies build and operate offshore teams, primarily in India and the Philippines. The company positions itself around three engagement models — Global Capability Center (GCC, subscription-based), Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT), and Dedicated Teams — delivering end-to-end services spanning AI-powered talent sourcing, fully managed workspaces, payroll/HR/compliance operations, and strategic advisory. Customers range from growth-stage startups and mid-market companies to enterprise buyers and private equity firms, with named clients including Accumatic, Boring Marketing, PIXL Group, Zimo Media, and Wheel across SaaS, digital marketing, creative, and healthcare verticals. Cited client outcomes include 60-70% cost reduction versus onshore teams, team builds of 2-40 people in 2 weeks to 6 months, and annual client savings of $100,000 to $750,000.

The underlying technology stack combines an AI-driven talent matching layer with Employer of Record (EOR) infrastructure covering payroll, compliance, HRIS, IT, and statutory requirements across geographies. Products are organized into four core solutions — AI-Powered Talent Solutions, Tailored Workspaces, Operational Support, and Strategic Insights & Advisory — and delivered through the three engagement models noted above, with a specialized GCC offering targeting private equity portfolio companies. Pricing is custom and monthly, with no minimum commitment (30-day termination notice) and a transparent published cost stack.

The business is founder-led (CEO Piyush Kedia, CTO Roshan Shetty), with a sales-led enterprise and mid-market GTM motion executed through consultative discovery calls, custom proposals, and direct buyer engagement (CEOs, CTOs, operations leaders). The company has raised an early-stage round from Better Capital (January 2024, undisclosed amount), operates with 1-10 employees, and currently serves approximately six enterprise clients. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Marketing channels emphasize content (a 100+ article blog), documented case studies, and direct consultation funnels; social presence includes LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and Instagram.

Revenue model

1. GCC Subscription Model: Subscription-based model for Global Capability Centers that provides flexible, predictable costs for offshore operations. Clients pay ongoing fees for managed GCC services including talent, workspace, compliance, and operations support.
2. Managed Teams Services: Hassle-free workforce management where InCommon acts as Employer of Record, handling sourcing, onboarding, payroll, compliance, and day-to-day operations for dedicated teams working exclusively for clients.
3. Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) Model: Risk-free pathway to establish GCCs where InCommon builds and operates the center, then transfers ownership to the client. Revenue generated during build and operate phases with final transfer completing the engagement.
4. Dedicated Teams: Agile and efficient approach to building global teams where InCommon hires, onboards, and manages teams, providing complete flexibility and control without operational overhead for clients.
