Engagement Models
Choose How We Work Together
Every organisation's GCC journey is different. We offer three models — each with a clear outcome commitment and our full operational involvement. In every model, our success is aligned to yours — commercially realistic, operator-led, and outcome-accountable.
🔄
Most Popular
Build · Operate · Transfer
We build the GCC, run it to operational maturity, then transfer full control to your organisation — with governance, culture, and processes already embedded.
✦ Full ownership transfer at steady-state
🏗️
Fully Managed
Fully Managed Outcome
We manage the GCC end-to-end on an ongoing basis — strategy, talent, delivery, governance and reporting — while you focus entirely on your core business.
✦ Accountable for business outcomes, not just operations
🧩
Lean Start
Leadership & Skeletal Setup
Start with the right leadership and a skeletal team. We establish the foundation — entity, culture, governance — and enable your team to scale independently from a strong base.
✦ Right structure from day one; scale at your pace
🤝
Our Commitment: Outcome-Aligned Partnership
We align our success with your GCC's business outcomes — through governance, execution ownership, and measurable impact. DigiHelic brings practitioner-led discipline and operational accountability to every engagement. Our advisors have personally built GCCs from zero — and we measure our success by the business value your parent company gains from its India capability centre.
Country & Culture Intelligence
We Understand What Keeps You Up at Night
Setting up in a new country — especially India — comes with real anxieties: cultural alignment, regulatory complexity, talent unpredictability, and the risk of creating a unit that never truly integrates with your parent organisation. We've lived these challenges firsthand. Here's how we address them.
🌍
Deep Country & Skill Intelligence
We bring genuine insight into India's talent landscape — city-by-city skill availability, compensation benchmarks, attrition patterns, and the nuances of building high-performance teams in Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad and beyond.
🤝
Parent Company Culture & Integration
Your GCC must feel like an extension of your organisation, not a distant vendor. We architect culture deliberately — aligning values, communication rhythms, leadership styles, and team identity with your parent company from day one.
📋
Local Nuances & Compliance
India has layered statutory requirements — labour law, DPDP Act, GST, SEZ regulations, transfer pricing, and more. We navigate these with in-house expertise, so you're always compliant and never surprised.
😰
Anxiety of a New Setup — Addressed
From "Will we hire the right leaders?" to "How do we handle attrition?" and "What if the culture doesn't fit?" — we've seen every fear. Our structured approach, advisor involvement, and operational experience turn uncertainty into a clear, managed path.
Security & Compliance
Data Security, Privacy & InfoSec
🔐
Data Privacy & DPDP Act
Full compliance with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act. Data handling policies, consent frameworks, and breach response protocols built in from the start.
🛡️
IP Protection & InfoSec
Robust IP assignment agreements, NDAs, access controls, and information security frameworks aligned to ISO 27001. Your code and data stay yours — always.
💹
Transfer Pricing & Financial Compliance
Structured inter-company agreements, arm's-length pricing, and full FEMA/RBI compliance — so your GCC's financials are watertight for audits and cross-border transactions.
Advisory Board — GCC & Engineering
Our advisory board brings decades of hands-on experience founding, scaling, and operating Global Capability Centers — including for organizations backed by leading private equity firms such as Blackstone and Vista Equity Partners.
