THE CASE FOR INDIA

Six Dimensions

01

Talent at Scale

India produces 1.5 million STEM graduates annually — the world's largest pipeline of technology talent. Engineering, data science, product management, finance, legal, and operations — every function a GCC requires is available at scale and depth.

  • 5.4M+ active technology professionals
  • Highest English-proficient tech workforce globally
  • IITs, IIMs, NITs — world-class institutional feeder base
  • Average senior engineer: $30K-$60K annually vs $120K-$180K in the US
02

Cost Advantage

GCCs operating from India achieve 35-45% lower total operating costs compared to equivalent operations in the US, UK, or Western Europe — without compromising on output quality or professional standards.

03

Time Zone

IST (GMT+5:30) provides meaningful overlap with both US and Europe. India-based GCC teams operate as genuine business-hours partners, not overnight processing centers.

04

Regulatory Maturity

India's Companies Act, FEMA framework, GST regime, and DPDP Act provide a stable, internationally understood legal and compliance environment. Wholly-owned subsidiary structures are well-established, with clear fund repatriation and IP ownership frameworks.

05

Government Support

Every major Indian state — Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh — operates a dedicated GCC policy with financial incentives. Combined incentive access across payroll subsidies, capital reimbursements, and skilling support can exceed ₹5 crore over a five-year establishment period.

06

Proven at Scale

1,700+ GCCs from 30+ countries are operational in India today — including the India operations of Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Microsoft, Google, Boeing, and Walmart. The proof of concept is not theoretical. It is a $46B annual revenue industry.
