How much does it cost to hire an AI/ML engineer from India?

Through Acquaint Softtech, dedicated AI/ML engineers start at $30/hr ($4,400/month for full-time). In the US, equivalent roles cost $150,000-$350,000/year. The cost advantage is structural - India's lower cost of living - not a quality trade-off. Our engineers work with the same tools (TensorFlow, PyTorch, OpenAI APIs) and follow the same development practices.
