GCC as a Service
Helping growth-focused enterprises establish world-class global capability centers combining the right mix of talent, technology, and infrastructure, without the complexity.
Build a GCC Out of India To Achieve Strategic Growth and Operational Efficiencies
Many growth-focused businesses struggle with rising costs, limited access to specialized talent, and barriers to innovation that hinder their global expansion. The urgency to establish cost-effective, innovation-driven centers is higher than ever, and the complexity of setting up operations in another region can be downright daunting without the right expertise.
At Rishabh Software, our GCC-as-a-Service approach enables businesses of all sizes to launch fully functional GCCs in just 90 days. We offer modular solutions, including Managed GCC setup, compliance, and infrastructure, talent acquisition and management, scalable office spaces, and continuous operational oversight.
We support multiple GCC engagement models such as Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT), Build-Operate-Collaborate (BOC), Joint-Venture (JV), and Hybrid setups. This flexibility allows businesses like yours to select the structure that best aligns with their ownership goals and operational maturity.
Establishing this GCC in a growing center like Vadodara in Gujarat, you gain access to a highly skilled and cost-efficient talent pool backed by advanced engineering and digital capabilities. Beyond cost optimization and scalability, this strategy also helps enterprises de-risk concentration in Tier-1 hubs like Bangalore or Mumbai by leveraging emerging cities with strong capabilities. Drawing on 25 years of experience and a strong track record, we deliver quick scalability, cost optimization, and sustainable business impact from day one.

FAQ
What is GCC as a Service, and how does it work?
GCCaaS is a model where a technology partner sets up and runs a Global Capability Center for you. You stay in charge of strategy, culture, and IP. The partner will handle all the rest, from setting up the office to compliance, IT, hiring, and daily operations.
How it works:
- Plan: You and the GCC service provider set the goals, roles, and the right model.
- Set up: The provider creates the workspace, ensures compliance, and renders the hiring assistance for the team.
- Run: They run HR, IT, and payroll operations while you participate in prioritizing and setting KPIs.
- Grow: Scale up the team or transition to your own GCC once ready.
This model helps you to start fast, save costs, and is scalable without the hassle of building and maintaining a center on your own.
Why choose GCC as a Service over setting up your own captive center or traditional outsourcing?
GCC as a Service provides all-child speed, agility, and lower risks than a captive center or BPO.
- Low upfront cost – You don’t need upfront investments for real estate, big tech, and compliance. Pay-as-you-grow.
- Faster launch – Get going in weeks, not months, with the existing setup and talent pool of your provider.
- Easy to scale – Add teams or reduce staff without hassle from leasing and hiring delays.
- More control – You hold governance, culture, and strategy, which is otherwise lost in traditional outsourcing.
- Expertise included – Providers bring local know-how and proven processes.
- Innovation-ready – Focus on R&D and digital work instead of admin overhead.
How does GCC as a Service protect data and IP?
Providers use strict security measures like:
- Zero Trust access controls
- End-to-end encryption
- Global compliance (ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 27001, GDPR, DPDPA)
- Dedicated networks for your team
- Regular audits and employee training
Intellectual Property:
- All IP stays with you, secured by contracts and NDAs.
- Work agreements assign all employees and vendor output to your company.
- India and other GCC hubs have strong IP laws that providers follow.
How do you measure success in GCC as a Service?
You can track success with impact, not just cost savings:
- Business value: Process improvements, innovation delivered
- Capability maturity: Complex projects, R&D contributions
- Operational KPIs: Faster delivery, fewer errors
- Employee health: Engagement and retention rates
- Resilience: Ability to adapt to new priorities
- Cost advantage: Sustained savings vs. alternatives
Can you scale or change a GCC after setup?
Yes. Flexibility is a key benefit of GCCaaS.
- Start small, scale as you grow with no space or compliance hurdles.
- Add new functions or change skill mix anytime.
- Move from 5 to 50 people in phases if needed.
- Transition to a full captive GCC later if the scale justifies it.
How is GCC as a Service different from outsourcing or BPO?
GCC as a Service gives you high control over processes, culture, and IP. It supports core work like tech, analytics, and R&D, while outsourcing handles non-core tasks. You can scale easily, keep your brand, and drive innovation. Compliance is transparent and jointly managed. Outsourcing offers limited control, less flexibility, shared talent, and minimal innovation. GCCaaS offers control, flexibility, and strategic value. Outsourcing is cost-driven and transactional.
What makes Rishabh Software’s GCC as a Service different from traditional providers?
Our GCC services and solutions uniquely combine software and engineering expertise across domains like heavy industry, EPC, SaaS, and digital transformation. We operate from a Vadodara (Tier-2) location which offers massive cost savings, long-term workforce stability, and access to a robust and reliable industrial ecosystem.
How does a Vadodara/Tier-3 location benefit my enterprise GCC setup?
Vadodara provides up to 30–40% cost savings, quality of life for staff, lower attrition, and robust infrastructure links. The city is home to leading engineering centers and benefits from excellent technical universities and industrial connectivity.
