Two ways to build. One standard of excellence.

Choose the ownership level that fits your stage and budget. Start with one model and switch as you grow.

Most popular

Partnership Model

Build · Operate · Transfer (BOT) / Co-Owned GCC

We build and run your GCC alongside you. Your leaders shape culture and technical direction, while we handle the entity, infrastructure, compliance, and operations. When you're ready, we transfer the center, including its people, assets, and processes, into your own Indian entity.

Best for: Firms that want a long-term strategic asset in India and eventual full ownership, without the risk of setting it up alone.
Discuss this model
  • Shared governance with joint steering committee
  • Your brand, your culture, your engineering practices
  • Option to take full ownership in 18–36 months
  • Transparent cost-plus pricing with no hidden markups
  • Pre-agreed transfer terms and a smooth legal transition
  • Optional AI Center of Excellence built into your GCC
  • We stay on as advisors after the transfer, if you want us to

Managed / Outsourced Model

Dedicated Offshore Development Center (ODC)

We provide a fully managed, dedicated team that works exclusively on your products under our legal entity. You direct the work. We take care of hiring, HR, payroll, facilities, IT, security, and day-to-day delivery management.

Best for: Firms that want to add capacity quickly, test the offshore model, or keep a simple operating structure.
