Powering a Global BFSI Giant: Building a Strong Foundation in India

India continues to strengthen its position as a hub for global enterprises, with the country’s talent pool, cost efficiencies, and evolving business environment attracting companies from every corner of the world. But for many organisations, setting up a Global Capability Center (GCC) here is not just about opportunity, it’s about navigating a new landscape of regulations, infrastructure, and workforce requirements. 

One of the world’s leading American financial software companies faced this very challenge when it decided to divest its India business and build a new presence for its personal financial management subsidiary. While the move opened fresh possibilities, it also left employees in a period of uncertainty and required a comprehensive strategy to ensure smooth continuity. 

That’s where Quess came in. 

Navigating the Client’s Challenges

The client’s India journey demanded far more than setting up an office and assembling a team. It meant building an entirely new global capability center from the ground up, spanning statutory registrations, workforce hiring, HR operations, IT infrastructure, finance, and comprehensive facility management. 

To complicate things further, they had to manage this while ensuring their people felt supported during a time of change. For an organisation entering a new phase in an unfamiliar regulatory environment, it was clear they needed a partner with local expertise and an ability to deliver seamlessly across multiple functions.
