India's largest GCC base, and the hardest place to be honest about. Talent depth against attrition and salary inflation, commute and campus realities, and where the cost position actually sits relative to tier-2 alternatives. Figures are sourced and dated.
What it means
The default choice deserves the same scrutiny as the alternatives. Most Bengaluru business cases are written as if the decision were already made.
Why this item
Shown because it is recent and from a trusted source.
Guide update
The first ninety days: what actually breaks
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.
Talent base, cost position, commercial real estate, state policy posture and the practical operating texture of building in Hyderabad. Telangana is running an explicit GCC push, and this guide states what is policy, what is announced, and what is neither. Every figure carries its source and date.
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.
