What is a global capability center (GCC)?

A global capability center (GCC) is your own engineering and operations center in another country, owned by you, staffed for you, aligned to your roadmap. Unlike outsourcing, the team, the IP, and the culture are yours. Codiot builds and operates GCCs in India, with a build-operate-transfer path to full ownership.

The honest comparison

GCC vs outsourcing.

	GCC with Codiot	Traditional outsourcing
Team ownership	Yours, your brand, your culture	Vendor's employees
IP & knowledge	Stays in your company	Walks out with the contract
Attrition impact	You retain the institution	You restart every rotation
Cost over 3 years	Lower after year one	Flat, margin included forever
Setup effort	We carry it (build-operate-transfer)	None, that's the trap

Capabilities

What we build.

Entity and compliance setup

Registering the legal entity and handling India-specific compliance, payroll, and statutory requirements.

Senior hiring pipeline

You interview and approve every hire; we run the sourcing and screening against your bar.

Office and operations

Physical or hybrid workspace setup, IT, and the day-to-day operational scaffolding a center needs.

Build-operate-transfer

A contractual path to full ownership on your timeline, not an indefinite dependency on us.

Culture and standards alignment

Your engineering practices and culture, transplanted, not a generic outsourcing playbook.

FAQ

Common questions, answered plainly.

How much does setting up a GCC in India cost?

Typical build-operate engagements run well below the cost of an equivalent US team, including our operating fee. We'll model your specific numbers before you commit to anything.

How long until my center is running?

First engineers productive in 6-8 weeks using our existing infrastructure; your dedicated setup completes in parallel over 3-6 months depending on entity structure.

GCC vs outsourcing, which is cheaper?

Outsourcing is cheaper for the first year or for small teams. From roughly 8-10 engineers and 18+ months, a GCC wins: you stop paying vendor margin on every hour, and the knowledge stays with you.

What happens if we want out?

The transfer clause works both directions: you can take full ownership early, or we absorb the team back with a notice period. No lock-in economics.

Why Ahmedabad?

Top engineering talent at well below Bangalore cost, low attrition, and it's where we've hired for 10 years.
