Embassy Group announced the launch of Embark, the country's first fully integrated platform designed to enable and accelerate the establishment of Global Capability Centers (GCCs). As a one-stop execution partner, Embark will provide a seamless, end-to-end solution to help global enterprises easily Design, Execute and Evolve their India GCCs.
India has established itself as the GCC Capital of the World, with over 1,700 GCCs and 400+ new entrants in the last five years. This dynamic landscape drives high-impact strategic work and is a globally integrated extension of corporate headquarters with more than 6,500 global roles based in India. With this, India offers the perfect foundation for GCCs to flourish, boasting the world's largest STEM talent pool, thriving tech and R&D ecosystem, cost advantages, and robust macroeconomic environment.
However, setting up and integrating a world-class hub can be complex, requiring deep expertise across talent acquisition, organisational design and culture, real estate, compliance and operational excellence, a gap that Embark aims to bridge with a strategic, hands-on approach led by a team of practitioners.
Jitu Virwani, Chairman & Managing Director, Embassy Group, said, "With Embark, our goal is simple – to transform the GCC set-up experience in India by providing companies with a seamless, strategic, and execution-focused platform that removes complexity and accelerates success. This new vertical is a natural extension of Embassy Group's legacy; we have built and managed world-class workspaces for leading global companies for over 30 years. Now, with Embark, we go beyond infrastructure to deliver a fully integrated GCC platform, which will make the entry and evolution for global enterprises an effortless experience. This new venture is backed by a seasoned leadership team with end-to-end expertise to deliver tailor-made, high-impact GCC solutions"
As the only integrated platform of its kind, Embark provides a comprehensive, turnkey solution for establishing Global Capability Centers (GCCs). It covers every facet of the process, from aligning vision and developing location strategy to designing the organisational structure. Embark manages all operational aspects of India entry, including compliance (set-up, HR, legal, finance), infrastructure (office space, facility & IT services), accelerated hiring, cultural integration, and workforce management. Furthermore, Embark ensures long-term success through transformation advisory, preparing businesses with a future-ready workforce and operational excellence. This seamless, end-to-end execution empowers companies to establish and scale their GCCs for sustainable growth.
