The GCC Model
For teams of 10 or more people.
Many global companies want a permanent team in India that they run themselves. A traditional captive GCC delivers that, but industry estimates put the build at 6–18 months depending on scope, with a large upfront investment. By then, the plan that justified it has often moved on.
Registering an Indian company and building local finance, legal and statutory teams comes before the first hire.
Offices, fit-out and multi-year leases are paid for before the team proves its value.
A new, unknown brand in India struggles to attract strong candidates, and long notice periods slow every hire.
Rudlyn employs your team through its Indian entity and runs everything behind it. You direct the work, as if the team sat in your own office.
Designed for permanent teams of 10 or more, not short contract squads.
The team joins your tools, rituals and sprints.
Compliance, HR, payroll, workspace and IT, plus certifications, career growth and learning for the team.
The team works inside your own systems.
| Traditional captive GCC | Rudlyn GCC Model | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to a live center | 6–18 months, depending on scope | 4–6 weeks |
| Indian legal entity | You incorporate and register one | None needed. Rudlyn employs the team. |
| HR, payroll and compliance | You build the function from scratch | Managed by Rudlyn |
| Upfront investment | Significant: entity, office and fit-out | No entity setup cost |
| Hiring | Cold hiring under long notice periods | Vetted candidates, with your interviews |
| Daily direction of the team | Yours | Yours |
| Commitment | Typically multi-year | Set out in your agreement |
You keep the control of a captive center. You skip the setup.
