We help global technology and growth companies expand into India, establish Global Value Centres, build technology talent, and raise capital. Full-cycle enablement from strategy through execution.
A structured methodology that covers every dimension of establishing a GCC in India, from initial feasibility through ongoing operations.
Market feasibility, location benchmarking, business case, and entry roadmap.
City selection, office shortlisting, lease negotiation, and fit-out advisory.
CXO search, talent strategy, hiring ramp-up, and workforce planning.
Entity setup, SEZ/non-SEZ structuring, labour law, and ongoing compliance.
Industry body connects, ecosystem partnerships, and inorganic growth options.
We offer two engagement models for GCC mandates, depending on the level of involvement required.
Direct client engagement with a long-term partnership model. We set up and run the in-market entity on behalf of the principal company, then transfer full ownership once the business is de-risked and operational.
Applicable across: IT Services, Manufacturing, Life Sciences, BFSI
Eighty Two Advisory combined with our partner ecosystem for a structured India entry. Best suited for companies that want advisory and project management without a full BOT commitment.
The principal carries none of the setup risk. They acquire what already works. Here is how the three phases deliver that outcome.
The in-market entity is incorporated. All regulatory licences, legal structures, and operational foundations are put in place, including hiring the right local expertise. The outcome is a fully licensed, compliant, operational entity ready to trade.
The entity operates under the management of the operator. Sales teams are built, customer relationships are established, revenue begins to flow, and the business proves itself in-market. The outcome is a commercially active business with real customers and real revenue.
Once agreed milestones are met, full ownership transfers to the principal at a pre-agreed valuation formula: the entity, its licences, its contracts, its team. No setup risk. No wasted years. No loose ends.
Every engagement is run as a formal project with a defined scope document, milestone register, RACI matrix, and escalation protocol agreed before Day 1.
Deliverables are broken into time-bound milestones with clear owners. Each has a definition of done. Progress is reported at a fixed cadence.
At each phase, we activate the right specialist: regulatory counsel, qualified persons, country managers. You deal with one point of contact: us.
Where the mandate requires in-country presence, we activate our on-ground team to handle authority interactions, day-to-day execution, and stakeholder management.
Structured monthly reports covering milestone status, risks and mitigants, financial burn against budget, and upcoming decisions. No surprises. Full transparency.
We define precisely what we are responsible for and what lies outside our control, so expectations are aligned from inception to transfer.
