From city choice to your own entity

Wherever you build, the setup mechanics are the same. We run them end to end: hiring, workspace, payroll, and entity setup in parallel, then the team transfers to your entity and we stay on.

01

Weeks to a working team

Your team starts under managed employment while the entity is set up in parallel, so you are not waiting on incorporation to hire.

02

4 to 6 months to your entity

Private Limited incorporation, PAN, TAN, GST, PF, ESIC, banking, statutory auditor: filed in your company's name, then handed over.

03

Break-even at 25 people

Past 25 people, entity economics beat managed employment, and the gap widens with every hire.

04

One resident director

Indian law requires one India-resident director (182+ days a year). We provide one during the build and help you appoint your own.

Common questions

We verify 244 GCCs with a presence in Chennai, and every one renders as a profile card in the directory above, led by Accenture, Amazon, Capgemini, Standard Chartered, Ford Motor Company by tracked headcount. Each card carries the centre's sector, what it works on and the team size we measure where our graph covers it, and the list filters by sector, team size and model.

Our graph tracks 4.1M+ professionals in Chennai, as of Aug 2026. The deepest pools are CSS, MySQL, C++.

The all-levels median for software engineers in Chennai is ₹7.6L annual CTC from disclosed records; senior engineers with 6 or more years sit at ₹19.1L. Per-role breakdowns by level live on the salary pages linked above.

A global capability centre is an India centre that a company headquartered outside India owns and runs itself, staffed by its own employees, doing work for its own group rather than for outside customers. Some centres do both, in-house work for the parent alongside delivery sold to external clients. Those are on the list with a services-led tag rather than left off, because the market counts them and hiding them would make the directory less useful. Firms with no in-house unit here at all stay out, however many people they employ in Chennai.

Yes. We track 4 new global capability centres and expansions announced for Chennai that we could trace back to a company statement or a named business publication, the most recent being Chubb in July 2026. The New and upcoming GCCs section above lists each one with its source.

Typically 4 to 6 months for full incorporation, compliance registration, and bank accounts. Your team starts from day one under managed employment while the entity is set up in parallel, so you're not waiting.

Past 25 people, entity economics beat managed employment, and the gap widens with every hire. Below that, managed employment keeps you fast without the statutory overhead.
