India is home to nearly 1,700 Global Capability Centers (GCCs), with an estimated 1,100 operated by US-headquartered corporations. Of these, approximately 175 are run by Fortune 500 enterprises, and another ~400 are operated by organizations with over $1B in revenue. Out of these 1700 GCCs, around 400 have come up in last 5 years and another 400 are expected to be set up in next 5 years.

While the GCC model has worked brilliantly for large enterprises, many small and medium enterprises in the US have not been able to set up GCCs and realize similar benefits.

And it’s not because the opportunity isn’t attractive.It’s because the setup journey comes with multi-dimensional complexity, including :

• Talent management challenges
• Regulatory and compliance hurdles
• Limited familiarity with the local ecosystemLong notice period norms impacting agility
• High upfront CapEx and infrastructure costs
• Delays in becoming operational (“time to value”)
• Lack of local leadership
• Rising operational expenses over time
