India GCC rollout in Phases

StepIndus applies a structured, milestone-driven methodology that takes global companies from board approval to a live, operating India GCC—with speed, compliance certainty, and cost control.

Modular delivery approach

Plan | Design | Setup | Manage

Each Module has a phased delivery

We perfected the art of modular delivery. This greatly helps us to focus on each knowledge area and build a speciality around the subject matter. 

We can deliver using this modular focused model by using our skill-set focus on each area. 

The integrated full-service delivery can integrate across modules using a milestone delivery for a Global Center. On the other hand, this also helps our clients to engage with us on a modular service delivery.

Our internal teams and a network of trusted partners position us in our best ability to deliver value to our clients using this modular approach.
