ODC & GCC Setup India

Your ODC in India, live in 2–4 weeks.

Empiryx Hub sets up your Offshore Development Center fast — a dedicated engineering team embedded in your product workflows from day one. Companies that scale deep can evolve into a fully owned GCC. Start with the ODC.

ODC first — always

Start lean. Scale into a GCC when the time is right.

An Offshore Development Center (ODC) is the fastest path to a productive engineering team in India. Dedicated, embedded, operational in 2–4 weeks — with no entity overhead to start.

A Global Capability Center (GCC) is the natural next step for companies that have validated the model and want to institutionalize it — incorporating a wholly owned entity in India with full IP ownership and strategic capability.

Empiryx Hub supports both stages. We help you start lean with an ODC, then guide the evolution into a GCC when you're ready to scale and hire AI developers in India at depth.

Process

The Empiryx ODC journey — from launch to GCC

01

ODC Launch

Start with a dedicated Offshore Development Center — operational in 2–4 weeks. No entity overhead, no long-term commitment to start.

02

Team Scale

Grow the ODC headcount, add engineering leads, and expand specializations (AI/ML, DevOps, QA) as your product scales.

03

GCC Strategy & Scoping

When your ODC has matured and you're ready to institutionalize, we run a discovery workshop to define GCC objectives, location, and entity model.

04

Legal & Entity Setup

We guide you through entity formation, compliance, and regulatory requirements for incorporating a wholly owned GCC in India.

05

GCC Operations & Leadership

Establish independent processes, recruit senior leadership, and integrate the GCC as a permanent strategic engineering hub within your global org.
