Build your AI capability center
in India -the right way
Strategic advisory for US companies establishing AI Global Capability Centers. We've operated from India for 25 years. Now we help you do it without the expensive mistakes.
Setting up a GCC in India is harder than it looks
Most companies either overpay consultants or learn expensive lessons the hard way.
The Big 4 Tax
Deloitte, EY, and McKinsey charge $300-500K for GCC setup advisory. Most of that goes to PowerPoint decks and junior consultants who've never actually run operations in India.
Misaligned Vendors
Your existing outsourcing partner will happily "help" you set up a GCC — while their incentive is to keep you dependent on their managed services model.
Cultural Blind Spots
Hiring playbooks, compliance frameworks, and operational assumptions that work in the US fail silently in India. By the time you notice, you've lost 18 months.
Advisory built for AI-first capability centers
Three engagement models designed for different stages of your GCC journey. Investment varies based on scope and complexity.

Operator, Not Consultant
We run a technology company from Kolkata serving Fortune 500 clients. We're not theorizing — we're sharing playbooks we use every day.
-
2
The Reverse Perspective
We've managed US, UK, and Singapore operations from India. We understand both sides of the cultural bridge you're trying to build.
