In a move that could redefine how multinational corporations establish and scale operations in India, Sattva Group, one of India’s leading real estate and infrastructure developers, has partnered with Innovalus to launch GCCBase, a first-of-its-kind strategic platform to help global enterprises set up and manage Global Capability Centres (GCCs) across the country.
The platform is built on Sattva’s infrastructure expertise and Innovalus’s operational excellence, creating a unified, end-to-end ecosystem that bridges the gap between physical space, talent, technology, and compliance. The launch signifies India’s shift from being a cost-efficient back office to a strategic global innovation hub.
India’s Strategic GCC Moment
India today stands at the heart of the GCC revolution, hosting over 1,600 Global Capability Centres that employ more than two million professionals and generate upwards of USD 46 billion in annual economic value.
No longer confined to transactional functions, these centres now drive global mandates in product design, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, advanced analytics, and digital transformation.
Industry projections suggest that India could surpass 2,500 GCCs by 2030, unlocking a USD 110 billion opportunity and creating an additional one million high-skill jobs. According to NASSCOM, more than 60% of the world’s top 2000 corporations either already operate or plan to establish GCCs in India, drawn by the country’s deep talent pool, digital infrastructure, and stable policy ecosystem.
Simplifying GCC Setups with an Institutionalized Model
Despite this momentum, setting up a GCC in India remains a complex and fragmented process, requiring coordination across multiple domains — real estate, compliance, talent acquisition, and operations.
GCCBase directly addresses this challenge by institutionalizing the setup and scaling process, creating a single-point platform that ensures speed, transparency, and compliance.
The platform enables companies to focus on innovation and business outcomes, while GCCBase manages the entire lifecycle — from location strategy and workspace design to regulatory setup, hiring, and operational governance.
An End-to-End Partnership Model
The partnership between Sattva Group and Innovalus brings together two complementary strengths:
- Sattva Group, known for its Grade A office spaces and tech park developments, provides the physical and infrastructure backbone.
- Innovalus, with deep expertise in operational strategy, delivers executional efficiency and governance across all stages of GCC setup.
Together, they aim to de-risk and accelerate global enterprises’ India entry and expansion, offering a plug-and-play operational model aligned with international standards and local compliance requirements.
Redefining India’s Role in Global Enterprise Strategy
With GCCBase, India’s real estate and corporate landscape are evolving from transactional service delivery to strategic, innovation-led ecosystems.
The platform institutionalizes governance, enhances accountability, and integrates the physical and digital needs of multinational enterprises — positioning India as the preferred global hub for innovation, engineering, and technology services.
