Why choose Armenia for business development over better-known tech destinations like Poland or India?
Armenia offers a specific combination that makes it the right choice for certain business development projects: Rich engineering talent pool (ranked top 30 globally for math Olympiad performance). For companies targeting Caucasus markets, Armenia's time zone, moderate English proficiency, and proximity make it operationally simpler than an 8-hour time zone gap to India. For companies prioritizing cost without sacrificing quality, $25-40/hr compares favorably to Poland's 40-70/hr. Sipiteno helps you weigh these trade-offs objectively for your specific project.
