Decide
Test the India case, capability fit, location, structure and ownership model before implementation.
Build-Operate-Transfer
Build the capability around the end state.
The operating model connects the India decision, the first build, ongoing responsibility and eventual client ownership.
The four stages of the operating sequence
Build
Establish the operating structure, leadership and first capability around the approved mandate.
Operate
Run the centre with agreed governance, reporting and responsibility while capability deepens.
Transfer
Move leadership, people, systems, knowledge and accountability into the client-owned organisation.
Approved mandate
Direct client ownership
Choose by mandate
Three ways to move from decision to ownership.
The engagement changes with the certainty of the mandate, the operating responsibility required and the end state the company wants to own.
GCC Advisory
Board-level guidance, market intelligence and operating-model decisions before capital is committed.
- Best fit
- Companies and investors still testing the India case.
Global Capability Centre
End-to-end setup around an approved mandate, from operating structure to the first owned capability.
- Best fit
- Companies ready to establish and operate their own centre.
Build Operate Transfer
GrowGCC builds and operates the centre against defined transfer conditions before responsibility moves to the client.
- Best fit
- Companies that need execution support with a clear ownership end state.
What you hold
Entity, team, control and knowledge move with the handover.
The structure
The legal and operating vehicle moves to you, not a vendor remainder.
The people
Leadership and the team transfer with the centre when it runs without us.
The direction
Governance, reporting and operating decisions sit with your organisation.
The memory
Process, vendors and working knowledge move with the handover.
