Balakrishna Boddepalli — Co-Founder
In 2019, I built my first Global Capability Center (GCC) in India for a Singapore-based AI company — from a blank sheet of paper. Within 60 days, we stood up a 15-member high-impact team of PhDs and IIT graduates in AI/ML, established office operations, managed payroll and compliance, and enabled overseas training — all while keeping speed, quality, and governance intact. That experience shaped a conviction I still stand by today: India is not just a cost destination. When built right, it becomes a global innovation engine. With 16+ years of experience in GCC enablement, leadership hiring, and operating model design, I now help global enterprises build and scale GCCs in India that deliver speed, scale, and sustained value — without execution risk. As Founder of GCC Leaders, I work closely with CXOs and transformation leaders to build future-ready GCC ecosystems — from greenfield, startup-mode centres to mature, innovation-led hubs. How I Help GCCs Win 🔹 End-to-End GCC Enablement Strategy, operating model design, entity setup, compliance, and on-ground execution 🔹 GCC Leadership Hiring First 50 critical hires — engineering leaders, GCC heads, domain experts — placed with precision 🔹 Speed with Governance 30–40% faster ramp-ups across Technology, Finance, and Shared Services 🔹 Deep Niche Talent Expertise AI/ML, Cloud, Data, Cybersecurity, SAP & BlueYonder, Healthcare, BFSI 🔹 ROI-Driven Outcomes $2M+ in client savings through optimised GCC workforce and delivery models I don't just help organisations hire talent. I help them build GCCs that evolve into global centres of excellence, innovation, and transformation. If you're planning a GCC in India, scaling one that's stuck, or looking for leadership talent that can build and not just manage — let's talk. DM me directly.
