Embassy Group Launches Integrated Platform To Scale Global Capability Centres In India

Embassy Group, a real estate and business ecosystem developer, has announced the launch of Embark, a fully integrated platform designed to enable and accelerate the establishment of global capability centres. Embark will provide an end-to-end solution to help global enterprises design, execute and evolve their India GCCs with ease.

India has over 1,700 GCCs and more than 400 new entrants in the last five years. This landscape is driving strategic work and serving as a global integrated extension of corporate headquarters with more than 6,500 global roles based in India. Coupled with this, India offers a foundation for GCCs to flourish with its STEM talent pool, tech and R&D ecosystem, cost advantages and macroeconomic environment. 

However, setting up and integrating a world-class hub can be a complex process, requiring expertise across talent acquisition, organisational design and culture, real estate, compliance and operational excellence — a gap that Embark aims to bridge. 

"With Embark, our goal is simple — to transform the GCC set up experience in India, by providing companies with a seamless, strategic as well as execution-focused platform that removes complexity and accelerates success," Jitu Virwani, chairperson and managing director of Embassy Group, said,

As an integrated platform, Embark provides a turnkey solution for establishing GCCs, offering:

• Strategy & Design: Vision alignment, location strategy and organisational design.

• India Entry & Operations: Compliance (set-up, HR, legal, finance), infrastructure (office space, facility and IT services), accelerated hiring, cultural integration as well as workforce management.

• Evolution For Long-Term Success: Transformation advisory, future-ready workforce, and operational excellence.

Furthermore, Embark will leverage WeWork India Management Ltd.'s expertise to deliver managed office solutions.
