Vision

The leadership aimed to build an India centre that didn’t feel outsourced but mirrored the headquarters in quality, culture, and control. A hub of precision engineering and digital manufacturing that reflected their European DNA of quality, compliance, and innovation. They sought a partner who could transform intent into infrastructure — fast, compliant, and built to last.

Challenge

The opportunity was clear, but execution was complex. Building a compliant base in India meant navigating regulatory frameworks, coordinating financial governance across geographies, and ensuring seamless transfer of advanced technology.

More than legal setup, the challenge lay in creating an ecosystem of trust: secure approvals, transparent taxation, and a workforce aligned to global performance standards. They needed one orchestrator to bring it all together, end to end.

Business Impact

What the Client Says

India’s GCC ecosystem is evolving fast. Here, nano- and micro-GCCs are growing at nearly 20% annually, as MNCs shift R&D and high-value engineering to India. This new era of “mini-GCCs” thrives on agility, governance, and capability — the very foundation of OBOX’s GaaS model.
