What is Flyback

A network of Indians moving back home. It does two things for you.

Everyone starts the same way: one form, then a discovery call with us. From that call, we work for you in two ways.

How it works

Four steps, built on one call.

After you apply, here's what happens.

  1. You apply.

    One form, about two minutes. We read it properly, and if it looks like a fit, you'll hear from us with an invite to a discovery call.

  2. The discovery call.

    A one-on-one conversation where we learn your story: your background, what you’re after, how you work. We check your skills and experience, and this is where we build your signals. Everything after it starts here.

  3. Your job search starts.

    Your first week of roles goes on your own tracker, each with the reason it fits and the person behind it. Rate them, and the next batch learns from what you liked and skipped.

  4. Introductions, when they fit.

    When a company in our network is hiring someone like you, we introduce you to the person deciding. You choose which conversations to take from there.

There's no fixed timeline here. It depends on the roles active in our network at any given time. We don't promise a match or a date, only that if you're in, we're genuinely working on it.

MatchmakingFree

Companies that want people who've worked abroad. Introduced to you.

We don't work with every company. We work with the ones that are actively looking for global experience: funded startups, global capability centres, Indian companies going global. They tell us who they're hiring, and when your profile fits, we introduce you to the person making the decision. Not a careers inbox.

  • A discovery call to understand your story, your skills and what you want next
  • Matched on your signals, not the keywords on your CV
  • Direct intros to hiring managers and founders
  • Nothing about you reaches a company without your say-so

The hidden friction

What quietly works against you.

  • Without the right college tag or firm name on your CV, applications disappear, regardless of the work behind them.

  • Job boards filter on keywords, not experience. Years of global work get missed in seconds.

  • The best roles tend to go to people with a strong network already in place, and a network like that takes a long time to build.

  • Compensation conversations often happen too late, after weeks of process, leaving you to negotiate blind, with no sense of what's realistic for your profile in India.

India salary calculator

What would you actually be paid in India?

A realistic range for your role and your years of experience, from published market pay, not a currency conversion. Add your package to see what it buys in your city. The full calculator works out Indian tax and can read your CV to set your role and years.

What the role pays in India₹16.9 L to ₹30.1 La year, total pay reported for this role and experience, Levels.fyi, as at 18 September 2026
What your package buys₹47.7 La year, gross, in Bengaluru

A $150,000 US salary converts to about ₹1.42 cr, but buys roughly what ₹38.7 L a year buys in Bengaluru. Exchange rate: US Federal Reserve H.10, 23 October 2026. Purchasing power: World Bank, private consumption, 2025. City factors are our estimate.

For companies

Scout talent that's already proven itself abroad.

International experience means they've already met a certain bar: the pace, the exposure, the standards. We put you directly in touch with people who have.

A direct conversation, not a form
We learn the role directly from you (team culture, working style, what it actually needs) before we write anything up.
Briefs, not job descriptions
What we send over is a structured set of signals drawn from that conversation, not a bullet-point JD copied into a portal.

Questions we get a lot

Honest answers to what people actually ask.

If something's holding you back from applying, it's probably answered here.

Does it matter that I don't have a top university or company tag?

Not at all. We match on who you are and how you work, not where you studied. The companies we try and work with think that way too.

What kinds of companies will I be introduced to?

We figure out what's right for you on the discovery call, then go from there. That could mean seed or Series A startups, larger conglomerates, agencies, or something else entirely, depending on your background and what you're looking for.

How much should I expect to be paid in India?

We help you work this out during the discovery call. Using patterns we see across the market, your specific profile, and the kinds of roles we're targeting, we build a picture of what's realistic before anyone talks numbers. We won't go out with your profile without having that conversation first.

How do I find a job in India while I'm still abroad?

Apply to Flyback. Matchmaking introduces you to companies in our network that want global experience, and the Job Search goes out and finds the rest. Our guide to jobs in India for returning NRIs covers every other route.

How long does it take to get matched?

A couple of weeks once we've gotten started, sometimes longer. It depends on the mix of roles active in our network, which companies are hiring, and how responsive they are to your profile. We don't guarantee a match or a timeline. What we do promise is that if we've invited you in, we're genuinely working on it.

Is this just a community group?

No. Flyback is a network with two services, matchmaking and the Job Search. The closest thing to community is the introduction itself: an email thread or WhatsApp group with the people involved. We don't run a standing group chat, and that's deliberate.

Does this cost anything?

The matchmaking service is free for candidates; employers pay us when a hire works out. Every member gets the first week of the Job Search free. It's paid after that, it's entirely optional, and you'd always know upfront what it involves.

Do you guarantee a job?

No. We find the right roles and the right people. The interviews are yours.

Ready when you are.

Tell us where you're at. It takes about two minutes. We'll reach out on WhatsApp once we've had a look, even if the timing isn't quite right yet.
