A Shared Services Center (SSC) is a centralised business unit that consolidates repeatable support functions Finance & Accounting, Human Resources, IT, Procurement, Legal, and Compliance into a single, standardised, cost-efficient hub that serves all business units and geographies of an enterprise. Unlike outsourcing, an SSC is wholly owned and operated by the parent company, giving you full control over data, quality, and culture. According to Deloitte's 2025 Global Business Services Survey, approximately 50% of global enterprises prioritising next-generation capability development already have their shared service center in India the world's undisputed preferred destination for SSC and GCC operations. SansoviGCC builds and runs your SSC in India with zero friction, zero CapEx, and board-level governance from Day 1.
India has ranked as the number one global shared services destination in Deloitte's Global Business Services Survey for the past decade ahead of Poland, Mexico, and the Philippines. Here is why 1,800+ global shared service centers now operate from India, and why that number continues to grow at pace.
Launch your Shared Services Center SSC in a premium, fully managed Grade-A office without the burden of capital expenditure. With over 1 million sq. ft. under management, GoodWorks delivers enterprise-grade SSC environments built for high-volume operations, team cohesion, and brand presence.
An SSC is only as strong as the people who run it. SansoviGCC uses AI-powered sourcing, structured assessments, and the NetSkill LMS platform to build your SSC team with precision ensuring every hire meets your functional requirements, cultural standards, and performance expectations.
The operational backbone of any Shared Services Center SSC is its process architecture. SansoviGCC establishes SLA frameworks, governance cadences, and continuous improvement programs that transform your SSC from a cost centre into a strategic operations hub delivering consistent, measurable business support.
Setting up an SSC in India requires navigating RBI, FEMA, ROC, GST, labour law, and transfer pricing regulations. SansoviGCC's legal team owns this complexity from Day 1 so you inherit a compliant, audit-ready shared service center without the regulatory burden falling on your internal team.
Modern shared service centers run on technology. SansoviGCC's integrated AI platform powered by NetSkill LMS and Kriatix.ai gives your global leadership real-time visibility across all SSC functions, enabling smarter decisions and faster response across Finance, HR, IT, and Procurement.
Speak with our SSC specialists to design the right shared services model for your enterprise from function scoping to go-live in 6–8 weeks.
A Shared Services Center (SSC) is a centralised business unit that consolidates standardised support functions Finance, HR, IT, Procurement, Legal, and Compliance into a single hub that serves all business units and geographies of an enterprise. Unlike outsourcing, the SSC is owned by the parent company, maintaining full control over people, processes, IP, and data. It operates like a “business within a business” governed by SLAs and measured against performance KPIs.
An SSC focuses on consolidating support functions Finance, HR, IT, and Procurement to eliminate duplication and reduce operational costs. A GCC (Global Capability Center) focuses on strategic, high-value functions technology delivery, R&D, product engineering, AI, and innovation. Many global enterprises run both simultaneously: an SSC for business operations management and a GCC for technology and innovation. SansoviGCC supports both models on the same integrated platform.
Industry studies consistently show that Shared Services Centers achieve 20–50% operational cost savings compared to running equivalent functions onshore in the US, UK, or Europe. India’s labour cost advantage, combined with process standardisation and economies of scale, drives the bulk of these savings. A 100-person Finance & HR SSC in Bengaluru typically operates at 40–60% lower annual cost than an equivalent team in London or New York.
According to Deloitte’s Global Business Services Survey, Finance (94%), HR (57%), Procurement (54%), and IT (52%) are the most common SSC functions globally. Most enterprises start with Finance & Accounting and HR as their first SSC functions, then expand to IT support, Procurement, Legal, and Analytics as the centre matures. SansoviGCC supports single-function SSC launch with a structured expansion roadmap built in from Day 1.
SansoviGCC can have your Shared Services Center operational within 6–8 weeks for initial team launch using our EOR model, or within 60–90 days for a fully incorporated, workspace-ready SSC. Legal entity incorporation typically takes 4–6 weeks. The full SSC operational buildout including all functions, processes, and governance frameworks typically reaches maturity within 12–18 months of engagement start.
A BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) provider is an external third party you get deliverables but not ownership. An SSC is wholly owned by your enterprise. You control the culture, the processes, the data, and the IP. Your SSC team works for your company, not a vendor. This distinction is critical for IP-sensitive functions like Finance, Legal, and HR where data governance and confidentiality are non-negotiable.
Yes and it is increasingly common. SansoviGCC supports a combined SSC + GCC model under one governance framework and one workspace. Your SSC handles Finance, HR, IT, and Procurement. Your GCC runs technology delivery, product engineering, and analytics. Both operate from the same Grade-A facility with shared infrastructure, reducing overall cost per seat.
A staffing agency provides headcount. SansoviGCC delivers a complete, operational Shared Services Center including legal entity, workspace, IT infrastructure, process architecture, governance framework, compliance management, and an AI-powered platform to run it all. We take accountability for outcomes, not just headcount. Our model is closer to a GCC partner than a recruitment firm.
