What is the difference between a GCC and just outsourcing to you?

Outsourcing buys an outcome from our team. A GCC builds your team — the engineers are dedicated to you, work to your standards, sit in your rituals and stay through the roadmap. We recruit, host and operate it, and the intent from day one is that it becomes yours. If you would rather we simply own a deliverable, our delivery and advisory engagement is the better fit and usually the cheaper one.

How small can a GCC realistically start?

Eight to twelve engineers is the point where a centre starts to make sense. Below that you get the overhead of a separate entity without the benefits, and a managed team is better value. Above roughly thirty, most companies should be planning their own entity, and we help with that transition rather than holding on to it.

Do we have to set up an Indian legal entity?

Not to begin with. We can host the team under our entity so you can start in weeks rather than quarters, and move to your own entity once the centre has proven itself. Setting up an entity first commits real money and roughly six months before you know whether the model works for you.

How do you handle the time zone gap?

With a deliberate overlap window rather than a hope that people will stay late. Typically four hours of overlap with European teams and two to three with US East, protected for standups, reviews and pairing, with the rest of the day genuinely asynchronous. Teams that plan for zero overlap end up with a day of latency on every decision.

Who owns the IP and the code?

You do, unconditionally and from the first commit. Contracts assign IP to you, engineers sign directly enforceable agreements, and code lives in your repositories under your access control. We do not hold code hostage as commercial leverage — if you want to move the team to your own entity, that should be a business decision rather than a technical one.

What happens to the team if we want to bring it in-house?

We plan for it. The engineers know the arrangement, and where you take on the team directly we support the transfer rather than blocking it with notice periods and non-solicits. A GCC partner whose commercial model depends on you never being able to leave is not aligned with you.

Service · Global Capability Centres

Your team in India, not ours.

We recruit, host and operate a dedicated engineering centre that is built to become yours - starting under our entity so you begin in weeks, with a transfer path we support rather than resist.

Capabilities

What we actually deliver.

Recruit to your bar

Hiring against your standards, with your team in the loop on final calls - because a centre staffed to someone else's bar never quite becomes your team.

Your interview loop, your final say
Senior-first hiring, not pyramid staffing
Named engineers, not interchangeable seats

Host under our entity

Payroll, compliance, workspace and equipment handled, so you can start before committing to an Indian legal entity and six months of setup.

Payroll, PF, tax and statutory compliance
Workspace, devices and IT provisioning
No entity required to begin

Operate with real overlap

A protected overlap window for standups, reviews and pairing, with the rest of the day genuinely asynchronous rather than optimistically so.

4h overlap with EU, 2-3h with US East
Your rituals, your tooling, your repos
Async-by-default outside the window

Transfer when you're ready

The centre is built to be handed over. When you want your own entity or to take the team directly, we support the transition rather than blocking it.

Entity setup guidance when you're ready
Team transfer supported, not penalised
No lock-in through code or contracts

How we engage

A sequence that de-risks delivery.

Agree the shape

Roles, seniority mix and the overlap window - plus an honest conversation about whether a GCC or a managed team is genuinely the right model for you.

Recruit with you in the loop

We source and screen; your team runs the final loop. A centre hired without your involvement produces engineers who never feel like yours.

Embed into your delivery

Your repos, your CI, your rituals and your on-call from the start, rather than a parallel process that has to be merged later.

Scale or transfer

Grow the centre, or move it to your own entity. Past roughly thirty engineers, most companies should be planning the latter and we help.

Outcomes

What clients measure afterwards.

Capacity that compounds

Engineers who stay through the roadmap and carry context, instead of rotating off.

Weeks to first hire

Hosted under our entity, so recruitment starts before any legal setup.

IP unambiguously yours

Assigned from the first commit, in your repositories under your access control.

An exit you control

Transfer to your own entity supported as a business decision, not a fight.

Why SyncTrix

Senior engineers, accountable outcomes.

We tell you when a GCC is the wrong answer

Below eight engineers you get the overhead without the benefit. A managed team is better value and we will say so rather than sell the bigger engagement.

Built to be handed over

A partner whose model depends on you never being able to leave is not aligned with you. The transfer path is part of the plan, not an afterthought.

IP is not commercial leverage

Code lives in your repositories from the first commit. We do not hold it as a negotiating position.

Overlap is protected, not hoped for

A defined window in everyone's calendar. Teams that plan for zero overlap get a full day of latency on every decision.
