We rank what you tell us above what we notice. Nothing is inferred from what you read, and you can change this at any time.
Entity, banking, statutory registrations, office and fit-out, the first ten hires, and IT — in the order they collide rather than the order a checklist lists them. Written from a build carried from zero to 200 people, with the sequencing errors named.
What it means
Every setup guide lists the same workstreams. This one says which ones block which, and where the dependency is usually discovered too late.
Why this item
Shown because it is recent and from a trusted source.

Setting up in GIFT City: what the GIC route actually requires
The IFSC route is the only formal GIC registration regime in India. This guide covers what IFSCA's 2025 regulations require, who the register shows has actually registered, and where the IFSC route differs from a standard private limited company in Bengaluru or Hyderabad. Sources are cited inline and dated.
ANSR sets out a playbook for de-risking GCC setup, positioning GCCs as a core engine for enterprises to innovate faster, scale smarter and optimise cost without trading away quality.
India entry primer: the decisions in the order they constrain each other
What has to be decided before a capability centre in India can open, in dependency order, with each step marked as required by law, usual practice or a judgement call.
An operating guide for the period after the Indian entity exists and the first hires are made: the statutory clocks that start at incorporation or at a headcount threshold, and the non-legal things that most often go wrong.
Why India: what the published figures say about building a capability centre here
The case for India as a location for a Global Capability Centre, stated only where a published source supports it: the existing GCC base, the technology workforce and graduate pipeline, office supply, the national time reference and policy. Every figure carries its source and the date it was true.
GCC Pulse publishes when something actually changes, not on a schedule. The daily digest names what was raised in your workspace since the last one and links straight to it — one message a day, and none at all on a quiet day.

The first ninety days: what actually breaks

What it means: Most location comparisons treat GIFT City as one more city. It is a different legal regime, and the difference decides things a city comparison cannot see.

ANSR's Playbook to De-Risk GCC Setup End-to-End
ANSR sets out a playbook for de-risking GCC setup, positioning GCCs as a core engine for enterprises to innovate faster, scale smarter and optimise cost without trading away quality.
What it means: A competitor's view of the setup problem, and worth reading as such. Note what a build-operate-transfer provider treats as risk — their list is shaped by what they sell.

Policy
IFSCA (Global In-House Centres) Regulations, 2025 are in force
IFSCA's Global In-House Centres Regulations 2025 govern GIC registration in GIFT City IFSC, replacing the repealed 2020 regulations. The authority publishes the regulations, related circulars and an FAQ.
What it means: If GIFT City is on your location shortlist, this is the regime you register under. It is the only formal GIC registration framework in India, and it is a regulator's own text — not analyst commentary.
