Embassy Group, a prominent real estate developer in India, has introduced Embark, the nation’s first fully integrated platform aimed at facilitating and accelerating the establishment of Global Capability Centers (GCCs). This initiative seeks to provide a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for global enterprises looking to design, execute, and evolve their GCCs within India
Key Features of Embark:
- Strategy & Design: Assistance with vision alignment, location strategy, and organizational design to ensure a solid foundation for GCCs.
- India Entry & Operations: Support in compliance (including setup, HR, legal, and finance), infrastructure provisioning (such as office space, facility, and IT services), accelerated hiring processes, cultural integration, and workforce management.
- Evolution for Long-Term Success: Offering transformation advisory, development of a future-ready workforce, and strategies for operational excellence.
Embassy Group plans to leverage its subsidiary, WeWork India Management Limited, to deliver high-quality managed office solutions as part of the Embark platform. This collaboration aims to simplify the GCC setup process, benefiting from India’s extensive STEM talent pool and robust economic environment.
Jitu Virwani, Chairman & Managing Director of Embassy Group, emphasized the company’s commitment:
“With Embark, our goal is simple – to transform the GCC setup 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.”
India has emerged as a global hub for GCCs, hosting over 1,700 centers, with more than 400 new entrants in the past five years. Factors contributing to this growth include the country’s vast STEM talent pool, a thriving tech and R&D ecosystem, cost advantages, and a stable macroeconomic environment. Embark aims to streamline the complex process of establishing GCCs by offering expertise across various domains, including talent acquisition, organizational design, real estate, compliance, and operational excellence.
With a diversified portfolio encompassing over 54 million square feet of commercial real estate and 45 million square feet of residential developments, Embassy Group’s foray into this integrated platform underscores its dedication to fostering a conducive environment for global enterprises in India.
