Quick answerGCC real estate and workspace services help a Global Capability Center (GCC), also called a captive center, choose a city, select the right type of office (managed office space, a dedicated floor or a build-to-suit campus), negotiate the lease, fit out the space and run it day to day. The right workspace supports hiring, security, culture and room to grow.

We build and run GCCs in the Tier 1 hubs of Mumbai, Pune, Gurgaon, Noida, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore, Ahmedabad and Kolkata, and in the Tier 2 city of Gandhinagar.

Why it matters

Why office space and real estate matter for a GCC

Where your GCC sits shapes who you can hire, what it costs and how your people feel about coming to work. City choice affects talent depth and salaries; building choice affects security, brand and room to grow.

Workspace decisions also lock in cost and flexibility for years. A managed office lets a new GCC start quickly; a dedicated floor or campus gives an established center control and identity. Many GCCs need to move between these as they grow.

Relevance Lab helps you make those choices with data, then handles fit-out, security and facilities so your leaders can focus on the work.
