What is a Global Capability Center (GCC)?
A GCC (formerly called a captive center or offshore development center) is a company-owned facility in another country that handles technology, R&D, or business operations. Unlike outsourcing, you own the team and IP.
Which Indian city is best for a GCC?
Bangalore has the deepest talent pool but highest costs. Hyderabad offers the best cost-to-talent ratio. Pune excels in engineering depth. Chennai has strong automotive and manufacturing talent. Choose based on your domain.

Legal entity setup takes 6-8 weeks. First hires start at month 2-3. Reaching a 50-person team typically takes 6-9 months. Full operational maturity comes at 12-18 months.
What are the hidden costs of a GCC?
Common hidden costs include employee benefits (25-35% on top of salary in India), notice period buyouts for senior hires, expat travel, cultural integration programs, and compliance audits. Budget 15-20% contingency.
