Is the Build-Operate Model Right for You?
The Build-Operate approach is ideal for companies that want to scale offshore with the flexibility to own the team later or continue with managed operations. This model supports your long-term growth plans without the immediate need for entity setup, giving you the freedom to focus on delivery while we handle the operations.
Begin with a managed team and choose to take ownership when your team size or business goals make it viable.
Use the Build-Operate-Transfer model to establish your offshore base with an option to transition into your own captive center.
We take care of hiring, infra, compliance, and day-to-day management while you stay focused on product, clients, and growth.
Choose to take ownership through BOT or continue with managed operations under the BOM model based on your growth plans.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most Managed Teams are ready within 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the number of roles and required skill sets. We start by understanding your team structure, tech stack, and workflow preferences.
From there, we handle sourcing, vetting, and onboarding. Once approved, your engineers are set up with infrastructure, communication tools, and documentation, fully aligned with your team’s rhythm so they can start contributing quickly and effectively.
Yes. You have complete control over team composition. We share carefully shortlisted candidates based on your technical requirements and cultural preferences.
You interview and select each team member just like you would for your in-house team. We only move forward once you’re confident in the fit. This ensures trust, transparency, and long-term alignment.
Absolutely. Your Managed Team is an extension of your internal team. They use your preferred project management tools, communication channels, version control systems, and documentation processes.
They participate in your sprint planning, daily stand-ups, retrospectives, and regular reviews, following your timelines and delivery approach for seamless collaboration.
No. One of the key benefits of a Managed Team is that AnAr takes ownership of day-to-day delivery and team oversight. We provide structure, reporting, and performance tracking so you don’t need to manage tasks or productivity line by line.
You stay updated through sprint reviews and reporting checkpoints, while we ensure consistency, velocity, and issue resolution within the team.
Yes, and this is one of the reasons companies choose Managed Teams. You can start with a smaller team and scale up as your product evolves. If you plan to eventually build a Captive Center or move to a BOT model, the Managed Team setup acts as a low-risk foundation.
We support transitions with clear documentation, knowledge continuity, and flexible engagement options that evolve with your goals.
A Managed Team is a flexible engagement model where your offshore team is set up and managed by a partner like AnAr. Unlike traditional outsourcing, a Managed Team works as an extension of your in-house team.
You’re involved in selecting the engineers, and they follow your tools, workflows, and sprint cycles. AnAr takes care of hiring, onboarding, infrastructure, and daily team management, while you focus on product direction and delivery goals.
This model is ideal for companies looking to scale with speed, consistency, and visibility.
In a traditional outsourcing model, you hand off a complete scope to a vendor who owns delivery, often with limited transparency.
A Managed Team, on the other hand, gives you more control. You’re involved in team selection and direction, while we manage the daily operations and ensure delivery accountability.
The team integrates into your existing processes, uses your tools, and aligns with your engineering culture, offering the flexibility of offshore talent with the feel of an in-house team.
Managed Teams can include a wide range of roles depending on your product needs. This often includes full-stack developers, frontend or backend engineers, QA testers, DevOps specialists, UI/UX designers, business analysts, and project coordinators.
If needed, we also provide team leads or architects who can work closely with your internal leadership. Whether you’re building a new product, modernizing a platform, or maintaining an existing system, we can tailor the team composition accordingly.
Yes. Time zone overlap is a key part of how we structure Managed Teams. We ensure at least 4 hours of overlap with your working hours so that collaboration, stand-ups, and reviews happen in real time.
Our teams adapt to your preferred communication rhythm, whether that’s daily check-ins, weekly sprint reviews, or asynchronous updates — making it easy to stay aligned without disruption.
Managed Teams work well for both. Product companies benefit from the ability to scale engineering capacity quickly without the distraction of hiring or managing remote operations.
Internal IT teams use Managed Teams to support digital transformation, legacy modernization, or internal platform development without overburdening in-house staff.
In both cases, the model brings focus, delivery accountability, and the flexibility to grow as needed.
Yes. Managed Teams are well-suited for long-term initiatives. Since the team stays consistent over time and follows your engineering practices, they gain deep knowledge of your product and domain.
This allows them to contribute to new feature development, platform enhancements, and technical improvements while maintaining delivery stability and code quality.
It’s a model that grows with your roadmap and provides continuity without the complexity of building everything in-house.
Protecting your intellectual property is a top priority. All team members operate under strict NDAs and contractual confidentiality agreements. Access controls, secure development environments, and restricted data sharing policies are in place to safeguard your product and information.
AnAr also aligns with your internal security protocols and can adapt to enterprise-grade compliance requirements when needed. You retain full ownership of all code, documentation, and deliverables produced by the team.
