What you get

What does a proper Indian offer letter generator include?

Built for Indian law
Every clause is drafted for Indian law — IP assignment, POSH, DPDP Act 2023, probation under Standing Orders. Not copied from a US template.
Full-time, intern & contract
Different employment types carry different legal exposure. Firmly generates the right template for each — no accidental misclassification.
ESOP built in
Add a stock option grant with vesting schedule and cliff directly in the offer letter. No separate document needed.
Toggleable clauses
Turn NDA, IP assignment, non-solicitation, exclusivity, force majeure, and background check on or off per offer. Adjust notice periods and cooling-off windows.
Email delivery
Send the PDF directly to the candidate from inside the app. No downloading, attaching, and mailing manually.
Candidate signs and replies
The candidate signs the PDF and replies by email. You get a signed copy back without chasing anyone.

Why not just use ChatGPT or a Word template?

Why shouldn't you use ChatGPT or a Word template for Indian offer letters?

✗ IP stays with the employee
Under the Indian Copyright Act, work created by an employee belongs to them by default unless assigned in writing. Most generic offer letters skip this.
✗ Unenforceable non-compete
Section 27 of the Indian Contract Act voids post-employment non-competes. An AI letter with one gives you false confidence — not actual protection.
✗ US-style at-will termination
Indian courts don't recognise at-will employment. A US-origin template's termination clause can turn a performance exit into a labour dispute.
✗ Intern classified as employee
An intern offer that reads like an employee contract can trigger PF, ESI, and Standing Orders liability in a labour audit. Different documents for different engagements.

Firmly's templates are built for Indian law — IP assignment under the Copyright Act, probation under the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, and non-solicit framing that courts uphold.
