GCC offerings
Your Global Capability Centre, built to run.
From first business case to a centre running at scale — designed, staffed and operated across India and the Gulf. You get an owned capability without spending two years learning which decisions are expensive to get wrong.

Why a captive centre
A captive centre, without the captive risk.
A capability centre turns work you would otherwise outsource into something you own. The catch is that building one is slow, unfamiliar and unforgiving of early mistakes. That is the part we take.
Own the capability
A capability centre keeps your most important work — your IP, your standards, your roadmap — inside a team that belongs to you, rather than one you rent by the hour and lose when the contract ends.
Reach deeper talent
Build where the specialists actually are. A captive centre opens talent markets that are hard to reach through contractors alone, and gives good people a reason to stay past the eighteen-month mark.
Control cost and quality
Predictable economics and direct oversight of how the work is done — without the year-one guesswork of building an operation in a market you have never employed anyone in.

The lifecycle
Five phases, one accountable partner.
Engage us for the whole journey or for the phase where you need us most. The phases overlap deliberately — running them strictly in sequence is what turns a quarter into a year.
- 01
Decide
Business case, location shortlist and operating model. What the centre is for, who it reports to, and what it must be able to do before anyone signs a lease.
- 02
Establish
Entity, banking, statutory registrations and workspace. Runs in parallel with early hiring rather than before it — sequencing these serially is what turns a quarter into a year.
- 03
Found
The site lead and first specialists. The founding cohort sets the hiring bar for everyone after them, which is why it is the part we refuse to rush.
- 04
Scale
Headcount to plan, delivery cadence, governance and reporting live. The centre starts being measured on output rather than on progress against a setup plan.
- 05
Transfer
Under BOT, ownership moves to you on the agreed timeline — people, contracts, systems and the operating knowledge, documented rather than resident in our heads.

Where to build
The location question, answered honestly.
Location is usually decided on cost and then regretted on talent. We start from where the specialists for your capability actually are, and work back.
- India
The default answer, for good reason
Depth across engineering, data, cloud, security and quality that no other market matches at the same cost and scale, with a mature ecosystem for employment, compliance and workspace.
- Widest specialist talent pool we work in
- Established entity, payroll and compliance routes
- Strong overlap with both Gulf and European hours
- The Gulf
When in-country presence is the requirement
Increasingly the answer where data residency, national localisation commitments or public-sector contracting mean the capability has to sit inside the country rather than serve it from elsewhere.
- Data-residency and in-country mandates satisfied
- Nationalisation commitments planned into hiring
- Sponsorship and mobilisation handled end to end
- A blend
Most centres end up here
A Gulf presence for the roles that must be in-country, delivery depth in India, and regional oversight from Singapore — run as one centre with one governance model, not three sites that report separately.
- One operating model across sites
- Roles placed where they legally and practically belong
- Single reporting line into your leadership
What we handle
Everything a centre needs to stand up and stay up.
Location strategy
Where to build, judged on the depth of talent for your capability — not on a brochure.
Entity & legal setup
Incorporation, structuring and the legal groundwork to operate cleanly in-market.
Workspace & facilities
Office, equipment and the day-one environment your team walks into.
Talent acquisition
Hire the founding team and scale headcount without letting the bar slip.
Leadership hiring
Site leaders and senior specialists who set the tone and the standard from day one.
HR, payroll & benefits
Employment, payroll and benefits administered correctly under local law.
Compliance & tax
Local labour, tax and regulatory obligations handled and kept current as they change.
IT & infrastructure
Devices, access, networks and tooling provisioned and supported.
Information security
Controls, policy and audit evidence aligned to your enterprise standards.
Learning & development
Upskilling that keeps the centre current and gives people somewhere to go.
Governance & reporting
The metrics, cadence and transparency your leadership needs to trust the centre.
Transition & knowledge transfer
Structured handover, so the capability ends up with your team rather than with us.
Engagement models
Own it, or have us run it.
Build-Operate-Transfer
We build the centre, run it to a steady state, then transfer full ownership to you on an agreed timeline. Speed early, ownership later, risk shared throughout. The most common choice for a first centre.
Best whenYou want to own it, but not to learn the hard way
Managed capability centre
We operate the centre as an ongoing service against your outcomes and SLAs while you keep strategic control. The right answer when running an operation is not where you want your leaders' attention.
Best whenYou want the capability, not the operation
Assisted build
You own the centre from day one; we bring the playbook, the hiring engine and the in-market knowledge so you avoid the expensive first-timer mistakes.
Best whenYou have done this before and want acceleration
Why Bench FX
We have done the hard parts before.
Standing up a centre is a sequence of decisions that are cheap to make and expensive to unmake. We bring the playbook, the hiring engine and the in-market knowledge — and stay accountable for how the centre performs afterwards.
- One partner across setup, talent, operations and governance
- A hiring engine already built for the specialisms you need
- Sponsorship, mobilisation and in-country compliance handled directly
- Enterprise-grade security and audit evidence from day one
- A documented path to full ownership whenever you want it
