Why “Execution-First” Wins in 2026

While others focus on the ‘What‘ of a GCC, we focus on the ‘How.’

Our methodology eliminates the ‘fragmented execution’ that plagues mid-market entrants—too many advisors, no single owner.

With StepIndus, you have one point of accountability.

GCC Setup Services
Scope of Services

Our GCC Setup Service Offering

We are a full-service provider across GCC setup and operations. However, our service delivery is modular, spanning three phases and 7 modules. The first one is core consulting, and the next 6 are modular service delivery for GCC Setup.

Pre-Setup Consulting Services

  • Advisory & Location Research: Identify suitable locations based on factors like cost, talent, infrastructure, and incentives.
  • Concepts & Design: Developing a tailored blueprint that outlines an efficient and scalable GCC model.
  • Workspace Search: Helping clients find state-of-the-art facilities suited to their specific operational needs.

Phase 1

Design - Plan & Structure

(Days 0–30)

Phase 2

Source & Build

(Days 31–60)

Phase 3

Operationalisation & Go-Live

(Days 61–90)

Note: 90 days is dependent on size and other variables. We achieve 90 days for a 50 man team in a technology park or an SEZ.

While the modular framework is for Captive ( a fully owned setup), the managed GCC under GCC-as-a-Service also follows a similar path.
