A One-Stop Solution to Establish and Scale Global Capability Centers in India
Bengaluru, India – March 28, 2025: Embassy Group, a leading real estate and business ecosystem developer in India, has launched Embark, the nation’s first fully integrated platform designed to facilitate the establishment and scaling of Global Capability Centers (GCCs). Embark aims to streamline the entire GCC setup process, providing a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for global enterprises looking to expand their presence in India.
India: The GCC Capital of the World
India has emerged as the GCC Capital of the World, boasting over 1,700 GCCs and more than 400 new entrants in the last five years. These centers play a pivotal role in conducting high-impact strategic work while acting as global extensions of corporate headquarters. With over 6,500 global roles based in India, the country’s vast STEM talent pool, thriving tech and R&D ecosystem, cost advantages, and robust macroeconomic environment make it the ideal destination for establishing and growing GCCs.
However, setting up a world-class hub in India poses challenges, including talent acquisition, organizational design, real estate, compliance, and operational excellence. Embark addresses these complexities with its strategic, hands-on approach, led by a team of seasoned practitioners.
A Transformative Approach to GCCs
Jitu Virwani, Chairman and Managing Director of Embassy Group, stated:
“With Embark, our goal is simple – to transform the GCC setup experience in India by providing companies with a seamless, strategic, and execution-focused platform that removes complexity and accelerates success. This new vertical is a natural extension of Embassy Group’s legacy, built on over 30 years of developing and managing world-class workspaces for global companies.”

As the only fully integrated GCC platform in India, Embark offers a turnkey solution covering every aspect of establishing and scaling GCCs:
- Strategy & Design: Vision alignment, location strategy, and organizational design.
- India Entry & Operations: Compliance (including HR, legal, and finance), infrastructure (office space, IT services), accelerated hiring, cultural integration, and workforce management.
- Evolution for Long-Term Success: Transformation advisory, future-ready workforce development, and operational excellence.
Leveraging Embassy Group’s Legacy
As a pioneer in Indian real estate, Embassy Group’s extensive experience in developing premium business environments positions Embark as a strategic partner for global enterprises. The platform will also benefit from the expertise of WeWork India, delivering high-quality managed office solutions.
With a portfolio spanning over 54 million square feet of commercial real estate, 45 million square feet of residential developments, and a robust presence in co-working, hospitality, and facility management, Embassy Group has solidified its reputation as a real estate powerhouse.
