GCC Made Simple — by SA Technologies

Set Up a Captive Center in India in 60–90 Days

Build high-performance offshore operations in India with captive-level control, without 12-month lead times or upfront capex.

What is a captive center in India, and how quickly can you set one up?

A captive center, or Global Capability Center, in India is a wholly-owned offshore subsidiary that allows companies to build dedicated teams while maintaining full operational control and IP ownership. SA Technologies enables organizations to launch fully operational captive centers in India within 60–90 days, compared to traditional DIY timelines of 12–18 months, by managing entity setup, compliance, hiring, and infrastructure from day one.

12–18 month setup

Lengthy timelines delay value realization and competitive advantage.

Compliance complexity

Legal, tax, payroll, and regulatory overhead across Indian states slows progress.

Heavy upfront capex

$500K–$2M investment required before operations begin.

Leadership gap

Difficulty hiring experienced local GCC leaders in competitive markets like Bangalore and Hyderabad.
