India — The Global GCC Destination

India has emerged as the world's premier destination for Global Capability Centres. With over 1,700 GCCs and a talent pool of millions, multinational corporations are increasingly choosing India not just for cost efficiency but for deep capability creation in technology, finance, analytics and operations.

Setting up a GCC involves navigating FDI regulations, entity formation choices, transfer pricing structures, Indian labour laws and complex tax considerations. Our dedicated GCC practice provides end-to-end advisory — ensuring your GCC is set up right, runs efficiently and scales with your global ambitions.

  • Entity setup — subsidiary, branch, LO or JV
  • FDI and FEMA compliance for the India entity
  • Transfer pricing structure for intercompany charges
  • HR, payroll and India labour law compliance
  • Ongoing tax, regulatory and statutory compliance management
