Your own Global Capability Centre in India — without the enterprise overhead
Entity, talent, office, operations: the full setup of a captive engineering centre, compressed into a 90-day programme built for companies planning 10–100 engineers — not 1,000.
What is a GCC?
Owning the engine instead of renting it
A Global Capability Centre is your own company in India: your employees, your culture, your intellectual property. Not an outsourcing contract — a subsidiary that compounds value inside your business instead of a vendor's.
For decades this was a Fortune-500 play, because setup took specialist teams a year or more. That barrier is gone. Over 1,700 GCCs already operate in India, and the fastest-growing segment is mid-market companies. [PLACEHOLDER: verify stat]
GCC vs outsourcing
| Your GCC | Outsourcing | |
|---|---|---|
| Team loyalty | Your employees | Vendor’s employees |
| IP & data | Fully yours | Contractually shared |
| Knowledge | Compounds in-house | Walks out on renewal |
| Cost at scale | Falls per head | Margin stays forever |
| Culture | Yours from day one | Someone else’s |
The GCC Enablement Package
Everything between "we should do this" and a working centre
Entity & compliance
Company incorporation, tax registrations, labour compliance, transfer pricing structure — with vetted legal partners.
AI-vetted hiring
Your hiring bar, our AI-vetted pipeline. You approve every offer; we run sourcing, assessment and closing.
Workspace & IT
Office space in Indore (or your preferred city), devices, network, security policies and access control.
Payroll & HR operations
Payroll, benefits, insurance, retention programmes and HR processes that meet Indian regulations.
Delivery integration
Your rituals, repos and standards installed from week one — the centre works like your team, because it is.
Governance & handover
Monthly steering reports, cost transparency, and a staged handover when you want operations in-house.
The 90-day model
Phased, parallel, predictable
- Weeks 1–4
1. Foundation
Entity incorporation, bank accounts, compliance registrations, office and IT setup begin in parallel.
- Weeks 5–8
2. First hires
AI-vetted pipelines produce your first signed offers; leadership roles prioritised.
- Weeks 9–12
3. Operating team
Team onboarded into your rituals and repos; payroll and HR running; first sprint delivered.
- Month 4+
4. Scale & handover
Hiring engine keeps running; operations transfer to your management at the pace you choose.
Timelines assume standard private-limited incorporation and typical approval cycles; regulated industries may extend phase one. You get a dated plan in the discovery sprint.
A GCC fits when…
- • You plan 10+ engineering hires over the next 18 months
- • Engineering is strategic — you want the IP and knowledge in-house
- • You already spend heavily on contractors or agencies
- • Cost matters, but control matters more
It doesn't fit when…
- • You need fewer than ~8–10 people → a dedicated team is smarter
- • The need is a one-off project → fixed-cost delivery wins
- • You can't name an internal owner for the centre
We'll tell you honestly in the first call — and route you to the model that actually fits. That's the point of the wedge: every path leads here eventually.
