Lower commitment while you experiment
Test the idea without funding a full-scale center first.
Rapid Innovation
Begin with a focused idea and a team sized to test it. Nothing here is a commitment to scale - it is a commitment to find out.
03The Nano GCC Model
Big GCC thinking. Nano-sized starting point.
You don't need hundreds of employees and a major infrastructure investment to begin building capability in India. Start with a focused team, prove the business case, and scale progressively.
Unit sizeTypically 5 to 100 professionals, sized to the requirement - never to a template.
04Size a unit
Drag it - 5 to 100
The unit is sized to the goal, not to a template.

Enough to test one idea properly. Cheap to start, cheap to stop, and you learn whether the thing works before anyone writes a business case.
Commitment8%
Speed to first answer100%
Every Nano GCC is scoped in a conversation, not from a slider - but the trade-off it shows is the real one.

Quick Prototyping
Get to something real fast, while the cost of being wrong is still small. The unit is deliberately too small to defend a bad idea.
Validation
Find out whether the idea holds up before the investment case is written. This is the stage the traditional route skips.
Faster GTM
Move a proven concept toward market without waiting on a full build-out. Speed comes from not having built the overhead first.
Scale When Proven
Grow the unit on evidence - or change direction without carrying a large cost structure. Both outcomes stay affordable.
07Succeed or exit
Either outcome stays cheap
The point of starting small
If it succeeds you scale it. If it doesn’t, you change direction - without carrying the cost structure of a conventional setup.
Over time, a single successful Nano GCC can grow into a larger capability center, or you can run multiple Nano GCC units across different goals.
Scale is an outcomeNot a starting condition, and not a commitment made before the evidence exists.
08Why Nano GCC
Cost / speed / risk
Cost
Speed
Faster access to curated capability
The ecosystem is already mapped - you don't start from zero.
Risk
Validate before you scale the investment
Scale on evidence, not on an upfront bet.
