Service · GCC Setup

Build your Global Capability Centre — without the complexity.

A GCC done right becomes a core part of how your company operates. We manage every detail of the build — entity, team, infrastructure and governance — so your leadership stays focused on the business.

What we build

Every dimension of your India operation — designed and delivered.

Setting up a GCC isn't a single project — it's five parallel workstreams that each require local expertise. We run all of them, with a named lead who owns the outcome.

Legal entity formation
Regulatory compliance
Office infrastructure
Talent sourcing & onboarding
Payroll & HR policy
IT environment setup
Governance framework
Culture integration
The process

Three phases. Clear deliverables at each stage.

No black boxes. At every stage you know what we're working on, what decisions need your input, and what the next milestone looks like.

01

Understand & Plan — Weeks 1-2

Discovery call with stakeholders. Assess engagement model. Map roles, timelines and success metrics. Deliver a costed proposal with no ambiguity.

02

Build & Launch — Weeks 3-12

Legal entity. Office infrastructure. Hiring pipeline runs in parallel. First hires onboarded and integrated into your workflows before week 12.

03

Stabilise & Scale — Month 3 onwards

Ongoing HR, compliance and operational support. Retention programmes. Scale hiring as the team grows. Governance reviews on your cadence.

Typical timeline to first hire on the ground

12-16 weeks from signed agreement. We build in the time it takes to do this properly. Rushing the hiring process is where most early mistakes happen.

What you own

Full ownership from day one. We're the operator, not the owner.

Your GCC is yours — the entity, the team, the IP, the culture. We build and operate on your behalf. The transition from our management to yours can happen at any point, on your timeline.

  • 100% IP ownership remains with your organisation
  • You make final decisions on every hire — we present shortlists
  • Governance reporting is yours — weekly visibility into operations
  • Handover to internal ownership is designed in from the start
