Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers for your strategic planning.
Outsourcing gives you a service. A GCC gives you a capability.
When you outsource, the people delivering your work are the vendor's employees — not yours. The knowledge they build, the processes they develop, and the institutional understanding they accumulate all stay with the vendor when the contract ends.
A GCC flips this entirely. It is your own registered entity in India, staffed by your own employees, running on your own systems. Everything built inside it — the talent, the IP, the culture — belongs to you, permanently.
Using our structured Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model, we typically establish the legal entity, secure office space, and hire the core leadership team within 90 to 120 days.
Yes. Because the GCC is your wholly-owned subsidiary, employees are bound by your corporate NDA and non-compete agreements. India also has strict, evolving data privacy laws (DPDP Act) aligned with global standards.
Absolutely. Talent acquisition is a core pillar of our service. We map the market, conduct technical screening, and build your team tailored strictly to your specific technology stack and cultural requirements.
