Direct Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum team size to justify setting up a GCC in India?
While traditional GCCs targeted 100+ seats, modern tech companies start dedicated GCCs with as few as 10 to 20 engineers to gain direct IP ownership, culture cohesion, and 50%+ cost efficiency compared to EORs or outsourcing vendors.
Which Indian cities are optimal for a new GCC?
Bangalore leads in AI, deep-tech, and startup talent. Hyderabad offers world-class infrastructure and enterprise tech leadership. Pune is premier for automotive, embedded engineering, and manufacturing tech. Delhi NCR offers massive consumer-tech and enterprise operations scale.
How does Helix assist with statutory compliance during GCC launch?
Our compliance practice manages complete statutory setup: Provident Fund (EPF), ESI, Gratuity Trust creation, POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) internal complaints committee constitution, and local Shops & Establishments licensing.
