How NanoGCC Works

10 stages.
One coherent journey.

Most GCC programmes fail not because of execution but because of a bad decision made in the first four weeks — the wrong city, the wrong model, or the wrong function. NanoGCC makes sure you get those decisions right before you spend a rupee.

The Framework

Every stage. Every decision.
In the right order.

The 10 stages are sequenced deliberately. Skipping stage 3 before stage 1 is how companies end up in the wrong city with the wrong model and the wrong team.

Phase 1 — Strategy (Stages 01–04)

Intent

Strategic Intent Profiling

Identify your GCC driver — talent access, innovation, cost, resilience, speed, IP control, or market expansion. Your intent shapes every downstream decision.

↳ 7 intent archetypes

Prioritise

Objective Ranking & Conflict Resolution

Force-rank your objectives. Surface trade-offs before they derail the programme — cost vs. control, speed vs. compliance, talent depth vs. location.

↳ Conflict detection engine

Model

Operating Model Selection

WOS, BOT, EOR, Managed GCC, JV, or hybrid — matched to your speed, control level, IP ownership requirements, and setup complexity tolerance.

↳ 6 model archetypes

Functions

Function Scope & Role Mix

Define what India will own, which functions move first, and what the initial team composition looks like. Avoid the over-scoping trap at launch.

↳ 90-day team blueprint

Phase 2 — Location & Compliance (Stages 05–06)

City

City & Location Intelligence

Shortlist cities only after model and function are confirmed. Scored on talent depth, cost, attrition, infrastructure, and state incentives. Tier 1 vs Tier 2 trade-offs mapped explicitly to your driver priorities.

Entity, Compliance & Regulatory Path

MCA incorporation, STPI/SEZ registration, FEMA/RBI structuring, labour law framework, DPDP compliance, and state-specific requirements — all mapped to your operating model with no compliance gaps.

Phase 3 — Financial Validation (Stages 07–08)

Feasibility

Feasibility & Business Case Builder

Full financial model: setup cost, steady-state opex, savings, ROI, break-even, and scenario analysis. Built for board sign-off and CFO scrutiny. Output is a board-ready PDF — no consultant required.

Risk & Readiness Assessment

Evaluate organisational readiness, transfer complexity, talent risk, IP exposure, attrition profiles, and governance gaps — before you commit capital or sign leases. Scored across 6 dimensions with a gap-closing action plan.
