Set up your global capability centre (GCC) in India
A global capability centre is your own technology and operations hub in India. Building one from scratch means choosing a city, hiring leaders and teams, setting up premises, payroll and compliance, all at once. Future Focus Infotech can build and run the centre for you first, then transfer it to your own entity when you are ready.
What we cover
- Planning: city and talent-market assessment, team structure and a phased hiring plan.
- Talent: recruitment of leaders, engineers and specialists, from the first hires to scale-up.
- Operations: workspace, IT set-up, payroll, HR and day-to-day running while the centre grows.
- Build-operate-transfer (BOT): FFI builds and operates the centre, then transfers people and operations to your own entity at an agreed point.
Who this is for
Mid-size and large companies in the UAE, the US and elsewhere planning a strategic technology or operations presence in India.
Companies that already use an ODC or outsourcing partner and want to move to a centre they own.
Leadership teams that want India capacity quickly without carrying all the set-up risk on day one.
Why build-operate-transfer
- Speed: start with an established company's hiring, premises and payroll instead of waiting for your own entity.
- Lower risk: test the model with a smaller team before committing to full ownership.
- Ownership in the end: the people, processes and knowledge transfer to you at the agreed time.

Frequently asked questions
What is a global capability centre (GCC)?
An offshore centre owned by a company to deliver technology, operations or business functions for its global business. India is the largest market for GCCs.
What is build-operate-transfer (BOT)?
A model where a partner builds and runs the centre first, then transfers the team and operations to the client's own entity at an agreed point.
How is a GCC different from an ODC?
In an ODC the team stays employed by the provider. In a GCC the centre ultimately belongs to you. Many companies start with an ODC and move to a GCC as the team grows.
Which city in India should we choose?
It depends on the skills you need, cost and scale. Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune are common choices. We assess this with you in the planning stage.
