India's GCC Boom: Why Global Companies Are Scaling Here

India is home to 1,600+ Global Capability Centers (formerly captive centers) across IT, finance, engineering, and analytics — more than any other country.

Why India Dominates GCCs

  • World-class talent pool in engineering and technology
  • Cost advantage of 50-70% vs developed markets
  • Mature ecosystem with decades of shared services experience
  • English-speaking workforce with domain expertise

Setting Up Your GCC

Most GCCs are set up as wholly-owned subsidiaries (100% FDI under automatic route). Key cities: Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, and emerging hubs like Coimbatore and Ahmedabad.

Compliance Essentials

Transfer pricing documentation is critical for intercompany transactions. Annual FEMA compliance, GST on services, and employment taxes need ongoing management.

Accountify serves 30+ GCCs with complete compliance solutions. Book a consultation.
