The Build–Operate–Transfer (BOT) model is a proven approach for establishing a Global Capability Center (GCC) in India with lower risk and faster ROI. Instead of managing everything in-house from day one, companies partner with leading GCC setup providers like Inspiredge. The partner builds the center, operates it until stable, and then transfers full ownership back to the client.
BOT combines the cost benefits of outsourcing with the long-term value of a captive center. For businesses entering India, it’s the safest way to establish a high-performing GCC.
How the BOT Framework Works
Phase 1 — Build (Months 1–6)
- Set up office space, IT infrastructure, and security.
- Ensure compliance with labor, tax, and data regulations.
- Recruit leadership and core teams.
- Implement governance and SOPs customized for the client.
Phase 2 — Operate (Months 7–24+)
- Provider manages HR, payroll, vendors, and facilities.
- Teams deliver tech, analytics, R&D, or business functions.
- Continuous improvement for agile GCC operations.
- Governance models keep the client informed and in control.
Phase 3 — Transfer (Months 24–30+)
- Knowledge transfer and staged handovers.
- Legal, financial, and operational ownership transferred to the client.
- Post-transfer support ensures seamless continuity.
BOT vs Other GCC Models
- Captive: Full control but slower and costlier.
- Outsourcing: Fast, but limited visibility and no ownership.
- GCC-as-a-Service: Flexible with shared infrastructure, no ownership path.
- BOT: Ideal when long-term ownership is desired with reduced risk and upfront investment.
Key Benefits
- Optimized costs through lower upfront investment.
- Rapid time-to-value—operational in months, not years.
- Access to provider expertise and talent networks.
- Structured and smooth ownership transition.
