Frequently asked questions?

The Global Capability Center (GCC) is the next stage of value add for the global multinationals. The evolution has happened over generations to come to this stage. The GICs were more to consolidate the offshore work in in-house (insource). Captive offshore centers were about setting up at least one center fully owned in offshore geography. GCC is about performing more advanced functions within these centers.

India has achieved maturity in the GCC space and the biggest factor responsible for this is the versatile talent that India offers across technology, management and other skill areas. The combination of low-cost but high-quality talent is the winning point.

GCCs have scaled up the value chain as they have made it possible to bring in higher value-oriented work like engineering, design, product development and R&D into one offshore geography either in on GCC center or distributed centers.

The time required to set up a GCC can vary based on the complexity of the services to be integrated and the scale of the center. A small-size GCC may take 3-6 months to become functional, the large scale may be made functional stages but may end up completing in 12 to 18 months for a full GCC setup.

We provide services across India in any city for GCC. We work on project office methodology and hence are location independent organization. Though we have footprints in Pune, Bangalore and Noida (Delhi). This capability also allows us to work on international locations if required.
