Engagement & Governance Models Built Around Your Risk Appetite

Every organization is at a different stage in its India journey. We offer flexible models that let you start small, validate value, and scale with confidence.

Engagement Models

  • Build–Operate–Transfer (BOT)
    We set up and run your GCC for 12–24 months—hiring, managing and stabilizing teams—then hand over a fully functional, process-driven center.
  • Managed GCC Operations
    You own the strategy; we run the engine—recruitment, HR, payroll, compliance, facilities, and ongoing talent pipeline.
  • Staff Augmentation & Pods
    Rapidly fill critical roles or build dedicated pods (data, ERP, product, support) with pre-vetted talent, on contract or full-time.
  • Hybrid & Custom Models
    Mix BOT, managed services, and staff augmentation to match your roadmap and internal readiness.

Governance & Risk Models

  • Pilot / Proof-of-Concept Teams
    Start with 5–10 people for 3–6 months, with clear success metrics before scaling.
  • Milestone-Based Scale-Up
    Investment and team expansion linked to agreed delivery and quality milestones.
  • Performance-Linked Engagements
    Metrics like time-to-hire, quality scores, and retention built into SLAs.
  • Risk Mitigation & Guarantees
    90-day replacement guarantee, strong compliance, and transparent reporting so you always see what’s happening on the ground.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to set up a GCC in India?

A 10–20 member team can typically go live in 8–12 weeks. Larger centers (50–100+) usually take 4–6 months, depending on scope, roles, and locations.

What cost savings can we expect?

Most organizations see 40–60% cost savings versus onshore operations, while gaining access to high-quality talent and extended time-zone coverage.

Which Indian city is best for our GCC?

It depends on your function and talent needs. We compare talent depth, cost, infrastructure, and competition to recommend the right city—or a multi-city strategy if needed.

Which engagement model should we choose?

  • BOT is ideal for first-time GCCs wanting a turnkey setup and later ownership.
  • Managed Services fits if you want a long-term India engine without running operations.
  • Staff Augmentation / Pods suits teams that already exist and need focused scaling.

We recommend a model after a short discovery session.

How do you ensure quality of hires?

Every candidate goes through technical evaluation, behavioral & culture fit checks, and background verification. We work with pre-vetted talent pools and provide a 90-day replacement guarantee for failed hires.

Do you handle compliance and regulatory aspects?

Yes. We support entity setup, labor law compliance, payroll & taxation, and data protection alignment, either directly or through vetted legal and compliance partners.

What if our requirements change mid-way?

Our models are built to be flexible. You can scale up or down, add new functions, or expand to new locations—we adjust hiring plans and operating models accordingly, with no lock-in to a fixed structure.

How do you reduce risk for us?

We use trial teams, milestone-based scale-up, clear SLAs, transparent reporting, and a 90-day replacement guarantee. You can start small, validate value, and only then commit to a larger GCC footprint.
