I'm not sure I see the pain point of being a non-employee Indian developer for someone who's already working for a foreign employer.

As a consultant, a developer can file their income tax return under 44ADA and save a huge amount of income tax, compared to being employed by you and mandatorily paying much more income tax as an employee.
