The problem with traditional GCC setup
If you have been thinking about expanding to India by building a GCC in India, you have probably heard about the challenges already. For most global businesses, setting up a GCC in India the traditional way means waiting 12 months or more before the center is even operational.
During the process of our GCC setup, you might face these issues.
Lengthy setup cycles
Starting from entity registration, office leases, legal filings, your government approvals can take months to complete
High upfront costs
Real estate, infrastructure, and initial hiring can eat into your budget before you even start seeing results
Compliance risks
Failing to deeply understand Indian laws can lead you towards unnecessary penalties and operational delays
Talent acquisition challenges
By the time you have established your operation, your competitors have already captured the best talent, leaving you considerably behind
Missed opportunities
As the market conditions change quickly, a 12-month delay in the setup can deprive you of the first-mover advantage
