From contract to operational GCC
Cost savings vs. home-market operations
GCCs already operating in India
The GCC wave is not a trend, it is a structural shift. India now hosts over 1,700 Global Capability Centers employing more than 2 million professionals, and Bengaluru alone accounts for 34% of all new GCC setups in the country. One in every three new GCCs selects Bengaluru as its base.
The numbers are unambiguous. Here is why enterprises from the UK, US, Europe, and APAC are moving fast:
Bengaluru is the #4 city globally for elite software engineers (Karat 2025). India produces over 2.5 million STEM graduates annually more than the US and Europe combined. Over 120,000 AI professionals already work within Indian GCCs.
Operating a GCC in Bengaluru delivers 40–60% cost savings versus equivalent operations in the UK, US, or Western Europe. Grade A office space in Bengaluru costs 50–70% less than London. A senior software engineer earns approximately 25–35% of the equivalent London salary at no compromise in quality.
India allows 100% FDI in IT services under the automatic route no prior government approval required. Karnataka’s dedicated GCC policy offers fast track 45-day approvals, rental reimbursements, and EPF support for new centres. The 2025 Union Budget introduced a National Framework for GCCs.
Bengaluru hosts the deepest startup and tech talent ecosystem in Asia. Your GCC here does not just deliver existing work it generates new products, AI capabilities, and competitive advantage. 58% of Indian GCCs actively invest in Agentic AI. 83% fund Generative AI projects.
Most GCC setup challenges do not come from strategy. They come from execution gaps, the wrong workspace, delayed legal entity registration, slow hiring, and misaligned technology delivery. Sansovi eliminates all four bottlenecks by integrating them under a single accountable partner.
Sansovi is the GCC-as-a-Service platform of the GoodWorks Group, India’s most integrated GCC operating ecosystem. No other GCC setup provider in India combines these four capabilities at the same depth:

Full Private Limited Company registration, GST, transfer pricing, and Employer of Record (EOR) services so you hire legally from Day 1 before your entity is ready.
Backed by GoodWorkLabs’ 13+ years of hiring in India’s tech ecosystem sourcing, screening, onboarding, payroll, HRMS, and retention strategy, handled entirely.
GoodWorkLabs delivers AI, cloud, product engineering, and digital transformation capabilities directly into your GCC bridging the gap between setup and business performance.

Select only the service pillars you need workspace, legal entity, talent, or technology. Mix and match based on what your existing India presence already covers.
Best for: Companies with partial India presence that need to fill specific capability or infrastructure gaps.
Senior strategic support for the planning phase — market entry strategy, GCC location analysis, cost modelling, governance design, and build-or-buy analysis before any operational commitment.
Best for: Leadership teams in the evaluation and pre-commitment stage who need independent expert guidance.
130+ UK firms already operate 250+ GCCs in India. Sansovi handles UK GDPR compliance, EOR setup, and the UK-India FTA advantage.
German, Dutch, Nordic, and French enterprises use Sansovi’s integrated model to enter India with precision engineering and compliance built in from day one.
US companies leverage Bengaluru for 24/7 product engineering, AI/ML, cloud, and fintech capability with full IP ownership and significant FX cost advantages.
Singapore, Japanese, and Australian enterprises use Sansovi to access India’s talent ecosystem as part of a broader APAC capability expansion strategy.

The exact timeline depends on headcount size, functions, and regulatory complexity. We provide a custom timeline during the first consultation.
A 50–100 person GCC in Bengaluru typically requires an initial setup investment of $500,000 to $2 million USD, with annual operating costs running 40–60% below equivalent home-market operations. Sansovi’s GCC Budget Calculator provides a customized estimate for your specific team size, functions, and workspace requirements.
No. Sansovi’s Employer of Record (EOR) service lets you hire Indian professionals legally from Day 1 while your Private Limited Company registration processes in parallel — removing the typical 8–12 week hiring delay. Your first team members can start within weeks, not months.
GoodWorks manages Grade A managed office space across Bengaluru’s prime GCC corridors — Electronic City, Outer Ring Road, Whitefield, and North Bengaluru. Each location offers different talent access profiles, infrastructure levels, and cost points. Sansovi recommends the optimal location based on your team profile and growth plan.
A GCC gives you 100% ownership of your India operations — your team, your IP, your culture, your processes. You build genuine competitive capability in India rather than transferring work to a third-party vendor. Sansovi accelerates your GCC setup but your GCC is entirely yours from day one. Traditional outsourcing creates vendor dependency; a GCC creates owned, scalable capability.
SansoviGCC by GoodWorks Group is India’s Leading End-to-End GCC Solutions Platform to build, operate and scale GCCs.
