India Capability and GCC Diagnostic
Redesign selected functions for lower cost, better scale and stronger governance — with a decision-ready view of what stays local, what moves to India, and how it is run.
What the India Capability / GCC Diagnostic does
The India question is rarely whether the talent exists — it is which work should move, in what sequence, and under whose governance. The diagnostic answers that at role and process level rather than at function level.
We size the local-versus-India work split, model total cost of ownership including management overhead and attrition, and compare build, operate and partner routes against your risk appetite and timeline.
You leave with a target operating model, a governance and KPI framework, a location recommendation across India's priority states, and a phased ramp plan that a board can approve.
What we cover
Work-split analysis
Process and role-level assessment of what stays local and what is better delivered from India.
Total cost of ownership
Fully loaded cost including facilities, management layer, attrition, travel and transition.
Build / operate / partner
Route comparison against speed, control, risk and capital, including BOT structures.
Location and talent depth
State and city recommendation based on talent pools, wage curves, infrastructure and incentives.
Governance and KPI model
Reporting lines, service levels, escalation and the metrics that keep quality honest.
Ramp plan
Phased headcount, hiring approach, entity and compliance path, and transition sequencing.
What you receive
- Local vs India work-split recommendation at process and role level
- Total cost of ownership model with sensitivity on wage and attrition
- Build, operate or partner recommendation with rationale
- Location shortlist across India's priority states
- Target operating model, governance and KPI framework
- Phased ramp and transition plan with entity and compliance path
Who this sprint is built for
- Companies evaluating a first Global Capability Center in India
- Existing captives that have plateaued on cost or capability
- Shared-services organisations consolidating across geographies
- PE portfolio companies seeking structural cost advantage
Priced on the outcome, not the hour
The India Capability / GCC Diagnostic is scoped and agreed as a fixed fee before work begins, so there is no hourly exposure.
Larger programmes that follow use milestone gates — you can stop or continue at defined checkpoints — and gain-share options, where part of the fee depends on realised margin, cost or throughput improvement.
The rest of the sprint portfolio
- AI Productivity SprintTwo to three weeks to a prioritised AI portfolio: 5–10 high-value use cases, each with ROI, risk, data readiness and a sequenced implementation roadmap.
- Margin Improvement SprintA quantified margin plan: practical EBITDA, cost and throughput levers across process waste, procurement, workforce, automation and offshore delivery.
- PE Portfolio Value CreationValue creation across the hold period — operational due diligence, 100-day quick wins, hold-period improvement, and exit readiness tied to the investment thesis.
India Capability / GCC Diagnostic — common questions
What is an India Capability / GCC Diagnostic?+
A fixed-fee assessment that determines which work should be delivered from India, what it will cost fully loaded, whether to build, operate or partner, and how the centre should be governed.
# Link to this answerHow long does it take?+
Three to five weeks depending on the number of functions in scope and the depth of process data available.
# Link to this answerDo you recommend a specific Indian city?+
Yes. The diagnostic produces a shortlist based on talent depth for your roles, wage curves, infrastructure and state incentives, rather than defaulting to the best-known hub.
# Link to this answerCan NirjiX also build and run the centre?+
Yes — through build-operate-transfer, managed GCC or advisory-only models. The diagnostic stays route-neutral so the recommendation is not an argument for our own delivery.
