Global Capability Centres have become one of the fastest-growing components of India’s economic and technology landscape, with multinational corporations increasingly choosing India as the base for high-value engineering, R&D, and strategic functions. Setting up a GCC involves far more than incorporating an entity. It requires careful decisions on structure, location, regulatory approvals, and operational readiness, each of which carries long-term legal and commercial implications.  

At Bisani Legal, we work closely with multinational clients from the earliest stages of GCC planning through to full operational launch. Our approach combines an understanding of Indian corporate law with practical insight into how global companies structure their India operations, ensuring that every setup decision is legally sound and commercially efficient from day one.

Our Services Include:

• Entity incorporation and structuring advisory
• Location and jurisdiction assessment (SEZ, STPI, and state-specific considerations)
• Regulatory approvals and licensing support
• Operational readiness and compliance checklists
• Coordination with real estate, tax, and HR advisors during setup
• Ongoing advisory during scale-up phases

Our expertise lies in guiding multinational corporations through the full lifecycle of GCC establishment in India. We understand that a GCC is not merely an offshore office but a strategic extension of the parent company, and we structure our advice accordingly, anticipating the regulatory and operational needs that arise as a centre grows from a support function into a full-fledged innovation hub.
