Execution-first Services for Mid-market & first-time Global entrants
Why Most India GCC Setup Struggles to Go Live?
Most companies do not fail at building a GCC because of a lack of intent, talent, or capital. They fail because execution is fragmented for below given reasons:
- Too many advisors, no single owner
- Lack of Indian Industry and Trade Policy
- Regulatory and compliance risks are underestimated
- Open-ended timelines that drift beyond board tolerance
- Metro-heavy cost structures that erode the business case
Hence, the result is delayed value, rising costs, and internal loss of confidence.
