Mumbai’s start-up scene has evolved into a vibrant hub of innovation and digital transformation, attracting investors, founders, and tech professionals alike.
However, amid this growth lies a serious challenge: the steady migration of top DevOps engineers to international companies offering higher salaries, flexible remote work, and global exposure.

The result?
Local start-ups are left struggling to fill critical roles, slowing down deployments, and overburdening existing tech teams - eventually impacting productivity and scalability.

The DevOps Drain: Why Start-ups Are Losing Out

In Mumbai’s hyper-competitive ecosystem, DevOps engineers are in high demand but short supply.
While global firms can offer lucrative compensation and cutting-edge projects, local start-ups often face limitations in pay scales, growth paths, and brand recognition.

Here’s what’s driving the exodus:

• Attractive Overseas Packages: Better pay and international exposure lure skilled engineers.

• Remote Flexibility: Global firms provide work-from-anywhere options, increasing appeal.

• Limited Local Growth Opportunities: Many start-ups lack structured career progression plans.

• Workload Imbalance: Smaller teams lead to burnout and reduced retention.

To thrive in this environment, start-ups need strategic hiring and retention support that aligns both technical needs and career aspirations.
