India produces more AI, engineering, and data science talent than any other country. Over 126,000 AI professionals already work in GCCs.
Fully loaded cost of an AI/ML engineer in India is $35-55K vs $150-250K in the US. Same skill level, fraction of the cost.
India hosts more GCCs than any other country. The ecosystem is mature — legal frameworks, talent pipelines, and infrastructure are proven.
India's IST (UTC+5:30) provides working-hour overlap with both US (4-5 hours) and Europe (3-4 hours), enabling real-time collaboration.

Most GCCs are operational within 12 weeks. This includes entity registration (2-3 weeks), workspace setup (2-4 weeks), and initial hiring (4-6 weeks). NeoIntelli's proven process can run these in parallel to compress the timeline.
There's no hard minimum. We've set up GCCs starting with as few as 5-10 specialists. Many clients start with a focused AI/ML pod and scale to 50+ within 12 months.
Yes. The standard approach is a Private Limited company (Pvt Ltd) registered under the Companies Act, 2013. NeoIntelli handles the entire registration process including RoC filing, PAN, TAN, GST, and state-level registrations.
All IP created by your GCC team belongs to your company. We help set up proper IP assignment agreements, NDAs, and data protection policies aligned with your home country's laws.
We primarily operate in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Pune — India's top GCC hubs. City selection depends on your talent needs, budget, and industry. We provide a data-driven location analysis as part of our feasibility assessment.
Absolutely. Many clients start with a small team through our managed model and transition to a fully captive GCC once they've validated the model. We support EOR-to-GCC transitions.
A GCC is your own captive center — you own the team, the IP, and the operations. Outsourcing means a third party owns the team and delivers work. GCCs give you more control, better retention, and long-term cost advantages.
AI is our specialty and differentiator, but we build GCCs across all engineering functions — cloud infrastructure, data engineering, full-stack development, QA, DevOps, and more.
