Serving India remotely

Web, ads and AI specialist for India

Indian businesses hire me for websites, web applications, AI automation and paid media. I work from India myself, in the same time zone (IST, UTC+5:30), so there is no overlap problem at all. Work is remote by default, with calls and screen-shares in Hindi or English. I have promoted brands in healthcare, education, hospitality, retail and fitness here for over a decade.

Based in India, working remotely: no office in India. India is on UTC+5:30 all year with no daylight saving, and I work in the same time zone, so the difference is zero hours and the overlap is the whole working day. Most corporate offices work Monday to Friday and many small businesses and clinics Monday to Saturday, and public holidays vary by state.

Hiring a remote specialist in India

India is a market of many markets. A clinic in Pune, a coaching institute in Kota, a jeweller in Chennai and a software start-up in Bengaluru all buy digital marketing, but they do not search, pay or decide in the same way. Most traffic arrives on a mid-range Android phone over a mobile connection, many buyers want to speak to someone before they commit, and the language of the search is often Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi or Bengali rather than English.

I started in Indian digital marketing in 2012 and, until 2021, worked as a freelancer promoting more than fifty Indian brands across healthcare, education, hospitality, retail and fitness, including multi-branch chains and clinics, plus some campaigns under NDA. Since then my work has grown to include campaigns for clients in the USA, UK, UAE and Australia, but Indian projects remain a core part of what I do, and I take them with the same fixed scope and written quote.

Because I work in IST, a founder in Mumbai or a clinic owner in Hyderabad can reach me during the normal working day, on a call, on WhatsApp or on a shared project board. Websites are built for speed on slower connections, with click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons, regional-language pages where the audience needs them, and tracking that separates calls, forms and WhatsApp taps so you can see which part of your spend produced a patient or a student.

Sectors in India that hire for web, ads and software

Healthcare, fertility and wellness
Hospitals, IVF centres, dental and skin clinics need appointment-led websites and Google Ads that capture high-intent searches while following the rules on medical claims.
Education and coaching
Colleges, schools and test-preparation institutes need admission campaigns, lead forms that reach counsellors quickly and landing pages per course and city.
Real estate and construction
Builders and brokers need project pages, site-visit booking and campaigns that filter serious buyers from casual browsers.
Retail, D2C and e-commerce
Brands selling online need quick product pages, UPI and cash-on-delivery checkout, and Google Shopping and Meta catalogue campaigns.
Software, SaaS and start-ups
Product teams need marketing sites, sign-up funnels, workflow automation and ad tracking that links spend to trials and paid plans.

Rules and market notes for India

Google Search, Google Maps and YouTube lead for intent; Instagram and Facebook carry local discovery, and WhatsApp Business is where many Indian customers expect to continue the conversation.

Many buyers search in Hindi or a regional language, so landing pages in the local script often convert better than an English page alone.

Local directories such as Justdial and, for B2B, IndiaMART still bring enquiries, and call tracking matters because many leads arrive as phone calls rather than forms.

  • The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 sets rules for how personal data is collected and used, so lead forms should state the purpose and take clear consent.
  • GST applies to most IT and marketing services; a GST-registered business expects a valid GST invoice with the supplier's GSTIN.
  • Advertising is expected to follow the ASCI code and the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, and healthcare claims are also limited by the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1954.
  • Commercial SMS is sent through TRAI's DLT registration of sender IDs and templates, which matters when lead follow-up is automated.

Hiring for India: questions

Yes. The work is remote, so a clinic in Chennai or a builder in Ahmedabad is served the same way as anywhere else, by video calls, shared boards and written updates in my working day.

Yes. I build pages and ad copy in Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali and other languages with the right fonts and tagging, and test them on mid-range phones before launch.

Yes. Checkout can use a payment gateway that supports UPI, cards and net banking, and I connect it so each paid order or booking is counted as a conversion in your ad accounts.

GST generally applies to IT and marketing services provided by a registered supplier, but your accountant should confirm how it applies to your case. I raise the question at the start.

Yes, I have promoted healthcare, education, hospitality, retail and fitness brands in India. I plan keywords, landing pages and call tracking together and keep claims within the advertising rules.
