At KGS, we partner with global organisations to design, establish, and scale high-performing Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in India. Our approach goes beyond setup—we create GCCs that are not just cost-efficient back-office operations but strategic hubs of innovation, talent, and value creation. With expertise across legal, HR, technology, finance, and operations, we help organisations unlock India's potential as a global talent and innovation powerhouse. From entity structuring and location strategy to governance, compliance, and scale-up optimisation, we act as end-to-end partners in your GCC journey.
We begin by laying the right foundation for your GCC
Choosing the right location is crucial for talent, scalability, and cost-efficiency.
Our experts ensure that your GCC is compliant, well-governed, and ready to attract top talent.
We ensure a smooth transition from setup to steady-state operations.
We don’t just set up your GCC—we help it evolve into a strategic value creator.
We help GCCs scale operations across multiple business verticals and functions. Our advisory includes business process standardisation and automation, adoption of advanced technologies such as AI, RPA, Cloud, Data Analytics, and ERP systems, and benchmarking against leading GCCs to drive continuous improvement. We also optimise costs and productivity metrics and provide support for exit, transition, or restructuring if strategic priorities change.
We manage the ground-level execution of establishing a GCC in India. This includes entity incorporation, legal registrations, tax compliance, and banking setup. We identify and finalise office space, IT infrastructure, and cybersecurity controls, while driving recruitment of leadership and operational teams to ensure cultural fit and quality talent. Additionally, we manage vendor relationships for facilities, HR services, IT, and procurement.
We establish governance structures that ensure accountability and transparency. Reporting mechanisms are set up between GCC leadership and the global HQ. Internal controls, risk management processes, and compliance monitoring are implemented, ensuring alignment with Indian corporate laws, tax frameworks, and labour regulations. We provide ongoing compliance audits, financial reporting, and statutory support.
We guide GCCs as they grow from small functional support centres into multi-disciplinary hubs. Process automation, digital tools, and shared service models are implemented, while operations are benchmarked against leading GCCs in India to identify efficiency opportunities. We help attract and retain top talent through structured HR, L&D, and career frameworks, continuously optimise cost structures, and enhance overall operational effectiveness.
We enable GCCs to evolve into Centres of Excellence (CoEs) that deliver strategic innovation. AI, RPA, cloud computing, analytics, and digital transformation are integrated into operations, positioning the GCC as a value-creation hub rather than a cost-saving back-office. We also support transitions such as mergers, divestitures, or exits when business priorities change, ensuring long-term sustainability through continuous improvement and adaptability.
We provide comprehensive support across the entire GCC lifecycle—right from strategy and legal setup to ongoing operations, governance, and scaling. This makes us a true one-stop partner for global organisations.
Our team brings deep expertise across legal, HR, technology, finance, and operations, ensuring that every critical function of your GCC is managed effectively and aligned with global best practices.
With a robust presence in Tier-1 and Tier-2 Indian cities, we help clients choose the right location that balances access to talent, cost efficiency, and scalability, while seamlessly navigating the local business ecosystem.
