March 29th 2025, Bengaluru, India : Embassy Group, one of India’s leading real estate and business ecosystem developers, today announced the launch of Embark, the country’s first fully integrated platform designed to enable and accelerate the establishment of Global Capability Centers (GCCs). As a one-stop execution partner, Embark will provide a seamless, end-to-end solution to help global enterprises design, execute and evolve their India GCCs with ease.
India has established
itself as the GCC Capital of the World, with over 1,700 GCCs and 400+ new
entrants in the last five years. This dynamic landscape is driving high-impact
strategic work and serving as a global integrated extension of corporate
headquarters with more than 6,500 global roles based in India. Coupled with
this, India offers the perfect foundation for GCCs to flourish—boasting the
world's largest STEM talent pool, thriving tech and R&D ecosystem, cost
advantages, and robust macroeconomic environment.
However, setting up and
integrating a world-class hub can be a complex process, requiring deep
expertise across talent acquisition, organisational design and culture, real
estate, compliance and operational excellence — a gap that Embark aims to
bridge with a strategic, hands-on approach led by a team of practitioners.
Jitu Virwani, Chairman & Managing
Director, Embassy Group, said,
“With Embark, our goal is simple – to
transform the GCC set up experience in India, by providing companies with a
seamless, strategic as well as execution-focused platform that removes complexity
and accelerates success. This new vertical is a natural extension of Embassy
Group’s legacy – we have been building and managing world-class workspaces for
leading global companies for over 30 years. Now, with Embark, we go beyond
infrastructure to deliver a fully integrated GCC platform, which will make the
entry as well as evolution for global enterprises an effortless experience.
This new venture is backed by a seasoned leadership team with end-to-end
expertise to deliver tailor-made, high-impact GCC solutions.”
