Offshore Software Development from India, Built for Portugal
Ethereal Softech is an ISO 9001-certified software development company based in Jaipur, India, and we work as a remote offshore partner for companies across Portugal. We are honest about what that means. We do not have an office in Lisbon, Porto, or anywhere in Portugal, and we will never pretend otherwise. What we offer is a senior English-speaking engineering team that delivers production software for Portuguese founders and businesses entirely from India, either on a fixed-price project or as dedicated developers you retain month to month. Since 2018 we have shipped web platforms, mobile apps, Shopify and WordPress builds, custom software, and AI features for clients abroad, and Portugal sits in a comfortable working window with us. With Lisbon and Porto on Western European Time, our IST hours give you 4-5 hours of live overlap every working day for stand-ups, reviews, and quick decisions.

Why Portuguese Companies Build With a Team in India
Portugal has become one of Europe's most talked-about tech hubs, anchored by the Web Summit in Lisbon, a fast-growing startup scene from Beato to Porto's tech corridor, and a steady inflow of foreign founders and remote-first companies drawn by the lifestyle and the Startup Visa. That energy has created real demand for software talent, but it has also tightened the local hiring market. Salaries for experienced engineers in Lisbon and Porto have climbed sharply, multinationals and well-funded scale-ups absorb much of the senior pool, and a lean startup or SME often cannot staff a full in-house team at the pace its roadmap requires. Offshoring to India is a practical answer to that squeeze. Portuguese companies get access to a deep bench of senior developers at a fraction of Western European cost, billed transparently in EUR, without committing to the payroll, social contributions, and office overhead of local hires. For founders who already operate in English and run distributed teams, an offshore partner in India is a natural extension of how they already work.
