Embassy Group Launches India's Only Integrated GCC Platform - 'EMBARK'

A Complete Solution for Establishing and Scaling Global Capability Centers in India

BENGALURU, India, March 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- 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.
