India is the world's foremost destination for Global Capability Centers — and the organisations that succeed here are those that get the foundational decisions right. NCP Global provides the strategic advisory and on-the-ground execution support that global businesses need to set up and scale with confidence.
India has the deepest pool of qualified technology, engineering, finance, and operations talent of any GCC destination in the world. The country's established GCC ecosystem — built over more than two decades — means the infrastructure, vendor landscape, regulatory frameworks, and institutional knowledge required to set up and operate a successful capability center are all well-developed and accessible.
Global organisations across technology, financial services, professional services, and manufacturing have demonstrated that world-class capability can be built in India — delivering the output quality of home markets at a fraction of the operating cost, without compromising on innovation, talent, or execution.
The question is no longer whether to set up a GCC in India. The question is how to do it right — fast, cost-effectively, and on the right foundations.
That is precisely what NCP Global was built to help with.
India hosts a significant share of the world's GCCs — spanning technology, finance, engineering, analytics, legal, and shared services functions for global organisations.
India produces one of the world's largest pools of STEM graduates annually — providing GCCs with sustained access to skilled, English-proficient professionals across virtually every function.
Operating a GCC in India delivers significant cost efficiency compared to equivalent operations in home markets — without the talent quality or output compromises that offshore sceptics once predicted.
India's major GCC destinations offer Grade A office space, reliable digital infrastructure, established legal frameworks, and a sophisticated vendor ecosystem — all essential for GCC operations at scale.
GCCs in India have demonstrated the ability to scale rapidly — from initial pilot teams of 20–50 to mature operations of thousands — without losing the agility or quality that made them valuable in the first place.
Setting up a GCC in India involves a complex, multi-workstream process — location selection, commercial real estate, talent strategy, regulatory navigation, workspace setup, and vendor management — all running in parallel, under time pressure, with significant capital at stake.
NCP Global brings structured advisory methodology, deep market knowledge, and a network of execution partners — so your GCC is established on the right foundations, on time, and within budget.
End-to-end coverage across every workstream of a GCC setup — from the first feasibility question to full operational readiness.
We identify the right Indian city for your GCC based on talent availability, cost structure, infrastructure quality, regulatory environment, and long-term scalability.
We advise on the right office solution for each stage of your GCC journey — from initial coworking or managed office for a pilot team, through to a long-term dedicated lease as you scale.
We analyse the depth, quality, and cost of the talent pool for your specific function in each target location — ensuring your GCC is anchored where the right people actually are.
We build a comprehensive cost model for your India GCC — covering real estate, workforce, infrastructure, and operations — ensuring the financial case is clearly established before commitments are made.
We provide workspace design inputs, fitout coordination, technology infrastructure advisory, and vendor management — ensuring your office is operational, well-designed, and ready for your team from day one.
We plan for your GCC's growth — advising on workspace expansion milestones, headcount scaling thresholds, and the transition from initial setup to a mature, self-sustaining capability center operation.
A structured, phased approach — sequenced to reduce risk, accelerate timelines, and ensure every decision is made with the right information at the right time.
We begin by understanding your GCC objectives, target functions, headcount projections, budget parameters, and timeline. We then develop an initial feasibility assessment — evaluating whether and how a GCC in India serves your strategic goals, and what the realistic cost and talent picture looks like.
Based on your function, talent requirements, and cost objectives, we evaluate and shortlist the most suitable Indian cities — presenting a structured comparison of talent availability, real estate cost, infrastructure quality, and competitive landscape to support your location decision.
We advise on the optimal office solution for your GCC's launch phase — typically a managed office or enterprise coworking space for rapid deployment — while simultaneously planning the long-term real estate strategy aligned to your headcount growth trajectory.
We coordinate across the parallel workstreams of GCC setup — real estate, fitout, IT infrastructure, HR, and legal — ensuring that each stream progresses on schedule and that your GCC is operationally ready by the committed launch date.
Post-launch, we remain engaged — advising on workspace expansion, talent scaling, lease transitions, and operational optimisation as your GCC grows from a pilot operation into a mature, strategically significant capability centre.
We have advised GCC setup mandates across a broad range of industries — each with distinct talent requirements, function priorities, and operational complexities. Our sector understanding means we bring relevant, not generic, advisory to every engagement.
"The organisations that succeed in India are not those that move fastest — they are those that get the foundations right from day one." — NCP Global GCC Advisory Philosophy
