Strategic Point-of-view
Seamlessly navigate the nuances of Greenfield setup in India
While considering a GCC in India, you might find yourself asking “do we have enough knowledge for GCC setup?” “how much infra and capex investment is needed?” “how will we tackle the cultural differences?” and several similar ones. You might struggle to determine which path to take for entering the Indian market.
CaptiveAide takes care of every single piece in your expansion plans – from feasibility to execution. Our single-window approach helps to validate your GCC decisions, build a risk-managed soft-landing strategy, and setup your GCC with the right entry model.
How it works?
Orchestrate your Expansion with Streamlined Deployment
An unplanned approach to GCC setup leads to disorganized processes, inefficiencies and rework, integration issues, and drives up the cost of setup. A lot of uncertainty prevails, which could derail your expansion plans. You need a careful, structured, and tailor-made approach that can flawlessly mark your footprint in India.
CaptiveAide offers such a risk-free approach with its proprietary Playbook, a framework for customizing complete execution and achieving optimum GCC outcomes. Building from scratch, the Playbook covers the entire spectrum of setting up your entity into 3 phases
Phase 1
Divided into two parts, Phase 1A takes care of the planning and contract from ground up. After assessments and feasibility checks, Phase 1B streamlines the infrastructure & facilities, incorporation, HR, and vendor appointments
Phase 2
It’s time for multiple transitions and stabilizations. This phase encompasses planning, governance & compliance, finance & accounts, facilities & admin, hiring, and optimization.
Phase 3
The phase of transition, here we achieve complete readiness for your GCC. It comprises planning, handover, governance & compliance for transition, and finance & accounts.

Successful GCC Journeys
Risk Free Setup through Run and Build of an India captive entity to leverage India and build globally competitive service models, for one of the world’s leading outsourcing advisory firms.
Our client wished to leverage the advantages of India to be more competitive in the global marketplace for their consulting services. They also had, via an acquisition, an existing entity in India, that developed a proprietary product for the company.
CaptiveAide’s approach was to set up a new, company-owned entity in India and merge the existing entity into the new company.
We helped develop the business case and budgets and used our Entry-Transition-Operate-Transform-Switch (ETOTS) Model to execute the transition plan.
Our work included completing the location study and identifying the right facilities, providing the design for IT infrastructure and employee facilities and ensuring the set-up was ready in time for the first batch of recruits. We deployed our ecosystem partners to provide support across Finance, IT, Administration, Recruitment and HR Administration. We also localized the global HR mandates and policies, developed locally appropriate Role and Compensation structures and provided the core team of managers for the India facility. We also conducted workshops to orient the senior leadership on getting their offshore plan right and also conducted two-way culture workshops
The offshore center provided significant, demonstrable business benefits around operational efficiency and profit uplift to the business. The entire business was eventually acquired and CaptiveAide continued to provide provide local oversight and governance to the India entity till it was acquired and merged into a larger India offshore center.
