Build technology, AI and digital capability close to one of the world's deepest talent markets. Create global business services and shared capability from India. India also gives UAE enterprises flexible launch options, from EOR and managed teams through to BOT and captive GCCs.

It depends on the functions, talent profile, cost targets and scale you have in mind. Bengaluru, Hyderabad, NCR, Pune and Chennai are the established hubs, and selected Tier-2 cities can suit specific functions. The assessment stage compares locations for your case.

Launch is indicatively 60–120 days, depending on operating model, entity approach and hiring scope. An EOR-first or managed launch can typically bring the first team online sooner.

Yes. With an EOR-first approach you can hire compliant employees in India before your entity is ready, then move them to your own entity through a phased transition.

It depends on your need for control, speed and risk appetite. Captive gives full ownership from day one; BOT lets a partner build and operate before transferring; Managed GCC keeps operations with a partner; EOR-led launch lets you start hiring before an entity. We recommend a model after the assessment.

The setup template offers three starting bands: 20–50, 50–100 and 100+. The right starting point depends on your functions and roadmap, and the model is designed to scale as the mandate grows.

The UAE GCC Desk helps you navigate government, trade, industry, academic and GCC ecosystems relevant to your India plans. Institutional engagement does not constitute endorsement of Sansovi's commercial services.

Yes. After launch Sansovi can run HR, payroll, compliance, workspace, learning and ongoing operations, and support capability growth, AI and transformation.
