Why a GCC in India, why now

India is where companies now build, not just support.

GCCs in India are no longer back offices. New ones are built around AI from the first day, and they own whole products for the global business.

Why Mohali, and why us.

Most GCCs crowd into Bengaluru and Hyderabad, and fight over the same people. Mohali sits in the Chandigarh tricity, with engineering and design graduates coming out of the region every year and a calmer hiring market. We have built product teams here for years already, so your centre starts with a working studio, not an empty floor.

What we set up

The centre and the craft, from one partner.

Most GCC partners stop at the building, the payroll and the headcount. We set those up too, and then we bring what makes a GCC worth having: people who can design, build and own a product.

The centre

  • GCC plan, team shape and cost model
  • Entity, registrations and compliance, with our legal and accounting partners
  • Office space and IT, starting inside our campus
  • Hiring, onboarding and payroll
  • Day-to-day operations and reporting

The craft

  • Product discovery and service blueprints
  • A design centre of excellence and a shared design system
  • AI and agentic workflows with human review
  • Frontend and full-stack engineering
  • Training your people until they run it
Our campus in Mohali

Your team can start here, on day one.

Our own building at Alpha IT City, Sector 83, Mohali. Desks, meeting rooms, IT and a team already at work, so your first hires walk into a working studio while your own office gets ready.

GCC models

Pick how much you want to own, and when.

You can start with one model and move to another. Most companies start small and take ownership once the team is working.

01

Build-Operate-Transfer

We build the centre, run it on your behalf, and transfer the entity, the team and the IP to you at an agreed point.

Best forA long-term centre of your own
02

Managed GCC

Your dedicated team works only for you, under your processes, while we handle the entity, payroll, office and operations.

Best forOwnership of work, no entity yet
03

GCC starter pod

A small dedicated pod inside our Mohali campus, a designer, AI engineers and a lead, that grows into your centre.

How it works

Plan it. Build and run it. Then it is yours.

One team from the first plan to the transfer, so nothing gets lost between a consultant, a recruiter and a vendor.

Plan, in weeks

Agree the charter, the first roles and the numbers.

What work moves first, which roles to hire, the setup model and a cost range. It starts with the no-cost GCC plan.

What leaders ask before they start a GCC.

Straight answers, before you have to write to us.

What is a Global Capability Center (GCC)?
A GCC is a company's own centre in another country, most often India, that runs technology, product, operations or research work for the global business. Unlike outsourcing, the company owns the team, the work and the IP.
How does Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) work?
We build the centre and hire the team, then run it for you under an agreed plan. At the transfer point, the entity, the people and the IP move to your company. You get your own GCC without carrying the setup risk alone in the first year.
How long does it take to set up a GCC in India?
It depends on the model. A starter pod inside our campus can begin in weeks, because the office, IT and core team are already here. A full entity with its own office takes longer. Your GCC plan gives you a timeline for your case.
Why Mohali and not Bengaluru or Hyderabad?
Less competition for the same people, a steady talent pool from the Chandigarh tricity, and a studio that is already running. Bigger metros make sense for some roles, and we will tell you honestly if yours is one of them.
What is the smallest team we can start with?
A starter pod can be a handful of people: a lead, a designer and a few engineers. Many companies start this way and grow once the first product work is shipping.
Who owns the team and the IP?
You do. The work and the IP are yours from the first day. In BOT, the employees and the entity move to you at transfer. In a managed GCC, the team works only for you under your processes.
How do you keep our code and data safe?
Your team works on your systems, with your accounts, your devices policy and your security rules. Access is set up and removed through your own IT. We put the controls in writing in the GCC plan, before the first hire.
We already have a GCC. Can you still help?
Yes. We can take over a team to run and grow for you, or add design and engineering roles your centre is finding hard to hire.
