Frequently Asked
Questions
What are the working hours of your offshore teams, and do they align with U.S. time zones?
Our offshore team members typically operate during standard business hours in India, from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM IST. To support effective collaboration with U.S.-based teams, availability is extended until approximately 10:00 PM IST, which aligns with midday in the Eastern and Central U.S. time zones.
This working model ensures 3–4 hours of overlap with U.S. teams in Eastern and Central time zones, enabling smooth communication and coordination. For teams in Mountain and Pacific time zones, we are happy to accommodate early morning or late evening IST meetings based on mutual availability and team preferences.
Please note that we do not offer coverage for full U.S. business hours (i.e., overnight shifts in India), as we prioritize sustainable working conditions, employee well-being, and long-term retention.
What is the typical call cadence or communication rhythm with client teams?
At Windy Street, we recommend daily communication between client teams and our offshore team members to ensure alignment and responsiveness. While email remains a key channel, we strongly encourage the use of Microsoft Teams or Zoom for more effective collaboration, enabling real-time discussions, screen sharing, and stronger relationship-building.
Our standard communication rhythm includes:
Daily Touchpoints: Regular communication between individual team members to address ongoing tasks, questions, and deliverables.
Weekly Check-ins: Scheduled calls between team leads (Managers or Senior Managers) and onshore client teams to review project progress, upcoming priorities, team availability, and operational updates.
Monthly Leadership Meetings: Strategic discussions between Windy Street and client leadership, typically covering key metrics through a Management Information System (MIS) report. Topics include team performance, utilization, hiring plans, feedback, and the broader offshoring strategy.
This structured cadence ensures transparency, accountability, and a high level of engagement across all levels of the team.
Can we interview or approve offshore staff before onboarding?
Yes. As part of our hiring and onboarding process, clients have the opportunity to interview and approve offshore team members before they are assigned to their engagement. This ensures alignment with your expectations in terms of skills, experience, and team fit.
How long does it take to hire and onboard new team members?
The typical hiring and onboarding timeline ranges from 1 to 3 months, primarily due to standard notice period requirements in India. Most professionals are contractually obligated to serve a notice period of up to 90 days with their current employers before transitioning to a new role.
We proactively manage this timeline by maintaining a strong talent pipeline and, where possible, identifying candidates in advance to minimize delays.
What happens if an offshore team member leaves or is replaced?
While we place strong emphasis on employee engagement and culture to maintain low attrition, in the event that an offshore team member resigns, we will ensure a seamless replacement within 1 to 3 months.
All our employees are contractually required to serve a 3-month notice period, which provides us with adequate time to identify a suitable replacement and facilitate smooth knowledge transfer to ensure minimal disruption to your operations.
