How a Global Capability Centre (GCC) is Set Up in India
Setting up a Global Capability Centre in India, is a strategic move that gives businesses access to world-class talent, significant cost savings, and the ability to scale quickly. While the process may seem complex, with iValuePlus it becomes structured, risk-free, and aligned with your business goals.
Strategic Planning and Vision
A successful GCC begins with a clear vision. Companies define the role their centre will play, from delivering cost efficiency to driving innovation or accelerating digital transformation. Choosing the right Indian location is also vital. Cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, and Gurugram are global hubs, each offering distinct advantages in terms of talent, costs, and industry clusters.
Legal and Compliance Foundation
Building a GCC in India requires a solid legal and regulatory framework. This includes company incorporation, taxation structures, labour law compliance, and data protection measures. Intellectual property security is another critical element. iValuePlus ensures your centre is established on a foundation of trust, governance, and long-term sustainability.
Infrastructure and Technology Setup
Every Global Capability Centre needs the right environment to succeed. This covers modern office spaces, IT infrastructure, network security, and collaboration tools. Whether your business requires a dedicated office or a managed facility, India’s GCC ecosystem offers flexible solutions that reduce setup time and cost.
Talent Acquisition and Pre-GCC Phase
The real strength of GCC India lies in its talent pool. iValuePlus helps you start small, typically with 5–10 skilled professionals who are carefully selected to match your requirements. This acts as a pre-GCC phase where you can validate outcomes, assess integration with your workflows, and build confidence in the model before making a larger investment.
Operational Launch and Expansion
Once the pilot phase proves successful, your Global Capabilty Center expands into a full-fledged operation. Teams are scaled up across IT, finance, HR, analytics, and other functions, while governance models, reporting structures, and performance metrics are put in place. This is where your GCC begins to operate as an integrated extension of your business.
Growth, Governance, and Optimization
A mature GCC setup in India goes beyond efficiency. With continuous optimization, process improvements, and automation, it becomes a hub for innovation and transformation. Strong governance, regular audits, and compliance ensure that your centre delivers value consistently while adapting to future business needs. With iValuePlus, you don’t just set up a GCC, you create a business unit that grows with you, reduces costs, and delivers measurable results.
