Option 1: your hours, scheduled overlap
A blanket "we work night shift" promise isn't enough on its own — a QA process only works if defects get triaged and retested while your own team is still online. On US engagements, we schedule engineers on shifted blocks specifically to create live overlap with US business hours — the exact window (Eastern, Central, Mountain, or Pacific) is agreed as part of scheduling before the SOW is signed, not improvised afterward.
- Overlap set at kickoff. The working block is matched to your team's actual hours, not a fixed default that happens to work for one coast.
- Fast, pre-vetted starts. Most engagements begin within 5–10 business days of a signed SOW.
- NDAs and IP assignment as standard. Mutual NDAs and IP assignment are in place before any code or test asset is shared.
Option 2: the 24-hour cycle
The time-zone gap between India and the US isn't dead time — it's a follow-the-sun handoff. At the end of your dev day, our QA engineers come online for a short overlap, sync on what shipped, then test it through their own full working day while your team is offline. Bugs and status are filed before your team is back — so the next morning starts with yesterday's code already tested, not a backlog waiting to be picked up.
