GCC Establishment, Strategy & Market Entry
We support global enterprises in building future-ready GCCs in India by designing a clear strategic, operational and financial roadmap. Our advisory covers end-to-end strategy development—right from defining the GCC’s vision and long-term value proposition to assessing market attractiveness and operational feasibility. We help organisations evaluate India’s talent ecosystem, cost structures, regulatory environment and city-level competitiveness through detailed feasibility and location-analysis studies across Tier-1, Tier-2, IFSC and SEZ zones. The team builds comprehensive business cases, cost–benefit models and capability-mapping reports to ensure alignment with enterprise expectations. We also offer specialised M&A-driven entry support, covering acqui-hire evaluation, captive carve-outs and strategic acquisitions that enable faster capability ramp-up. Whether building a greenfield GCC or entering through strategic transactions, we bring end-to-end guidance through our Capability-Centre-as-a-Service (CaaS) model.
Regulatory, Legal, Tax & Transaction Structuring
We help enterprises establish legally sound, fully compliant and tax-efficient GCC structures tailored to India’s regulatory landscape. Our team provides entity incorporation support, corporate structuring, FEMA/RBI advisory and end-to-end cross-border regulatory guidance required for global–India operations. We advise on India’s labour, corporate and employment laws, and design compliant HR frameworks, policies and internal controls. Our tax and transfer pricing specialists support GCC-specific TP models, GST/income tax compliance and documentation, ensuring strong alignment with global pricing policies. For organisations entering through acquisitions or expansions, we conduct robust transaction structuring, and financial, tax and legal due diligence, while assisting in integration of governance, documentation and contracts. We also work closely with state authorities to identify incentive opportunities and regulatory benefits available to GCCs. Our team develops governance models, operational SOPs and policy frameworks that establish a strong regulatory backbone for long-term operations.
Organisation, Talent & Operating Model Design
We design scalable, future-ready operating models that enable GCCs to evolve from execution units to global value creators. Our advisory spans operating model design, organisational structuring, capability mapping and Centre of Excellence (CoE) architecture across functions. We develop talent strategies aligned with enterprise priorities, covering workforce planning, compensation structures, mobility policies, and leadership/critical-role design. Our HR advisory supports GCC-specific HR operations, payroll structuring, compliance management and policy design. We draft employment contracts, create PoSH governance frameworks, and establish HR systems that align global culture with local statutory requirements. With a deep understanding of India’s talent market, we help organisations attract, manage and retain high-quality talent while ensuring HR processes remain efficient, compliant and adaptable as the GCC scales.
Risk Management, Assurance, Audit & Operations Enablement
We help GCCs operate with enterprise-grade governance, strong controls and robust assurance mechanisms. Our services include designing comprehensive risk frameworks, establishing compliance monitoring systems, and conducting internal audit and process assurance reviews.
We manage statutory audit coordination and ensure adherence to India’s financial reporting standards, while also supporting Internal Control over Financial Reporting requirements for global compliance. Our forensic services address fraud risk, investigations and behavioural red flags relevant to multi-entity global organisations. We also evaluate vendor risk, procurement controls, and third-party dependencies that impact operational continuity. On the operations side, we support workplace readiness, multi-shift models, on-ground compliance, ESG-linked governance, and non-tech data protection frameworks that meet global and India-specific obligations. Through proactive risk insights and continuous assurance, we strengthen the GCC’s operational resilience.
Scaling, Finance Transformation & Ongoing GCC Management
We work with enterprises as their GCCs mature helping them scale into high-value innovation centres and strategic capability hubs. Our transformation support includes conducting GCC maturity assessments, defining scaling strategies and building roadmaps for capability expansion across business, finance, operations and analytics functions.
We design and optimise global finance operations, shared services models, FP&A processes, controllership systems and digital finance workflows tailored for GCC environments. For organisations entering or expanding through acquisitions, we manage Post-Merger Integration (PMI) harmonising policies, consolidating processes, aligning financial frameworks and ensuring seamless organisational transition. We also provide ongoing accounting, payroll management and statutory compliance services through managed service models. Our Project Management Office and program governance teams drive continuous improvement, operational excellence, Service Level Agreements alignment and build a culture of performance. This allows GCCs to move beyond cost arbitrage and become strategic value creators for the enterprise.
