Techila's GCC Setup & Advisory practice helps global enterprises design, locate, and operationalize capability centers in India and APAC. Unlike SI partners who advise from a distance, we are headquartered in Pune — India's fastest-growing GCC city — and bring first-hand operator experience to every engagement.

[ The practice ]

Built by operators. For operators.

Most GCCs are set up with the right intent — cost arbitrage, talent access, delivery scale. But within 18 months, the pattern repeats: misaligned tooling, fragmented governance, talent churn, and a Headquarters that quietly stops trusting the center. The problem isn't ambition. It's that the partner who set up the GCC understood procurement, not operations. Techila is different. Our leadership team has collectively run GCCs for top MNCs. We've sat in the seat you're filling.

[ Capabilities ]

6 capabilities, one delivery team.

/01
Operating Model Design
Define which functions sit in the GCC vs. HQ, and why — with a governance structure that holds.
/02
Location Advisory
Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai — workforce, cost, and ecosystem benchmarks with real data.
/03
Legal & Compliance Structuring
SEZ/STPI guidance, legal entity setup, and India regulatory structuring (in coordination with your legal counsel).
/04
Governance Framework Design
SLAs, escalation paths, QBR cadence, and board reporting frameworks that HQ trusts.
/05
Technology Stack Selection
Platform selection aligned to parent company platforms — no orphan systems, no shadow IT.
/06
Talent Strategy
Sourcing, retention, and career ladder design for certified professionals in India's competitive GCC talent market.

[ Delivery process ]

Four phases. Value gates at every boundary.

We don't run a programme past a gate it hasn't earned. Each phase ends with a board-visible artefact — not a status deck.

Phase 01
Diagnose
2 weeks
Stakeholder interviews, HQ expectations mapping, and current-state assessment of people, process, and technology.
Phase 02
Design
3–4 weeks
Operating model blueprint, location recommendation, governance framework design, and technology roadmap.
Phase 03
Validate
1–2 weeks
Board-level artefact review, HQ alignment workshops, and final recommendation sign-off.
Phase 04
Launch
Ongoing
Implementation support, technology activation, and first-90-days operating rhythm establishment.
“Techila didn't sell us a GCC. They helped us build one that HQ trusts — because they understood the dynamics from both sides.”
