Nano GCC
A small, dedicated team focused on one clear capability — the leanest way to establish a presence in India.
Build the capability. Grow the centre.
Your GCC doesn't have to start as a GCC.
Start with the capability your business needs. Build the right team and operating foundation around it. Grow as your business evolves.
The starting point
The starting point should be the capability, not the centre.
Too many India plans begin with a structure — an entity, an office, a headcount target — before anyone has defined what the team is there to do.
Defining the capability first keeps the commitment proportionate. The structure can follow the work, and grow only when the business is ready for it.
Capabilities
Four ways to begin. One direction of growth.
Micro GCC
A compact centre spanning a few related capabilities, with its own operating rhythm and leadership.
Technology Capability Teams
Focused engineering, data or product teams built around a defined outcome, integrated with your existing organisation.
Growing Capability Centres
For businesses ready to scale — expanding a proven capability into a broader centre over time.
Approach
Five steps, in the right order.
- 1
Understand
What capability does the business actually need, and why India?
- 2
Design
Shape the team, roles and operating foundation around that capability.
- 3
Connect
Identify where the right talent is and how to reach it.
- 4
Build
Assemble the team and put the foundation in place.
- 5
Grow
Expand the capability as the business evolves.
Location
The right capability can come from more than one city.
India's technology talent isn't concentrated in a single place. Different cities have different depths of skill, cost profiles and competition for people.
We think location should follow the talent the capability needs — decided case by case, rather than assumed up front.
Vision
A more connected way to build in India.
Capability, people and growth connected from day one — so international businesses can build in India with clarity, and grow at their own pace.
