One team. Two locations.
Your leaders own the product and the architecture. A center head runs the India team day to day, and JumpGrowth runs the site around it: hiring, payroll, IT and the office.
- Start small with one pod and a center head.
- Work your way in your codebase, tools and security controls.
- Take it over when the center is ready, on terms set up front.

Is this a good fit?
You need a long-term engineering team, not a one-off project.
You want your own people, culture and IP in a global capability center in India.
You would rather not set up the entity, office and payroll yourself.
You want the option to own the center outright later.

01What is a global capability center in India?
A global capability center in India is your own engineering team there: your roles, your leaders, your roadmap. We set it up, hire into it and run the site around it, with an option to transfer the entity to you.
02How is a GCC different from hiring offshore developers in India?
Offshore developers join your sprints as staff or a pod. A global capability center in India is a standing site under your name, with its own leaders, office and a path to own the entity.
03Can we start with one pod before a full center?
Yes. Most centers start as one managed pod, then grow once the work and the ways of working are proven.
04What roles can a global capability center in India hire for?
Center and engineering leaders, web and app, back end, data, AI and ML, QA, and DevOps and cloud.
05Who leads the global capability center in India?
A center head you choose, who reports to your leadership. We help hire them first, before the pods grow.
06Do we interview every hire?
Yes. Your leaders interview every candidate, from the center head down, and make each offer decision.
07How does a global capability center in India work with our US team?
Pods plan overlap hours with your workday for stand-ups and reviews, and written handoffs keep work moving between time zones.
08Can the center work inside our cloud, tools and security controls?
Yes. Engineers use your repositories, cloud accounts and access policies from their first week; nothing sits outside your controls.
09Who owns the code, IP and people?
You own the code and the IP from day one. The people move to your entity when you take the center over.
10When can we take the global capability center in India over?
When you are ready, often after two or three years. The entity, people and contracts move on terms agreed up front.
11What does it cost to start a global capability center in India?
A one-time set-up fee, then the team at cost plus a management fee. The planner on this page uses $90 an hour US onshore and $32 an hour in the India center, 160 hours a month, for team cost only, before set-up. It is a planning estimate, not a JumpGrowth quote.
