Everything you need to know before starting a Managed GCC engagement with us.
What exactly does a Fully Managed GCC include?
+
Our Fully Managed GCC covers the complete operational lifecycle — entity setup, office provisioning, team hiring, IT infrastructure, payroll, HR compliance, legal filings, and ongoing managed operations. You get one engagement, one invoice, and one dedicated point of contact managing everything on the ground in India.
Do I need to register a company in India to set up a GCC?
+
Not necessarily upfront. Depending on your structure, there are multiple legal models — a wholly owned subsidiary, a liaison office, or operating through a managed service provider entity. We assess your situation during the discovery phase and recommend the most appropriate path that balances speed, cost, and compliance.
How long does it take to get a Managed GCC operational in India?
+
For most engagements, the GCC is operational within 8–12 weeks from contract signing. This includes entity/office setup (4–6 weeks) and initial team hiring and onboarding (2–4 weeks). Timelines can vary based on team size and specific regulatory requirements.
What is the minimum team size to start?
+
We recommend a minimum of 5 full-time employees to make the Managed GCC model economically viable. That said, we have helped clients start with smaller pilot teams of 3 FTEs and scale from there — reach out to discuss your specific needs.
Who handles payroll and statutory compliance for my India team?
+
We do, entirely. Monthly payroll is processed by our HR operations team, including PF, ESIC, Professional Tax, and TDS deductions. All statutory filings are handled on your behalf. You receive a monthly payroll report and compliance calendar so you always have full visibility.
Which cities in India do you support for GCC setup?
+
We currently support GCC setups in Ahmedabad (Gujarat) and Pune (Maharashtra). Both cities offer strong talent pools, competitive cost structures, and a growing enterprise ecosystem. Ahmedabad is particularly strong for IT services and operations roles; Pune is well-suited for software development and engineering talent.
