How US companies actually build a Nano GCC
A 40 minute walkthrough of the model, the timeline and the decisions that determine whether it works, hosted by our co-founder. Live Q&A follows.
The questions we hear most before a first engagement
Not a product pitch. A working session on how the decision actually gets made, run by the person who has that conversation most often.
This session covers why the traditional scale threshold for a capability centre has fallen, what actually changed to make a small owned team viable, and how to tell whether your company is a genuine fit before you spend six months finding out the hard way.
It is aimed at operating and finance leaders who are evaluating the decision now, not at people looking for a general introduction to offshore engineering. We will use real numbers and name the situations where this is the wrong answer.
Four things this session covers directly
Why the scale threshold fell
The specific costs that used to force a several hundred person minimum, and why they no longer do.
The four questions that decide fit
What we actually ask before recommending this model, and the answers that mean it is not right for you yet.
What the first 90 days looks like
A realistic week by week view, not the marketing timeline.
Where this goes wrong
The three most common structural mistakes we see, and how to avoid making them in your first hire.
Your host for this session
Most of the conversations I have start with a company that ruled this out three years ago on numbers that no longer apply. This session is the version of that conversation without the sales call attached.
Kishore works with executive teams and boards on the strategic case for building capability in India, and on the governance models that determine whether an offshore mandate produces owned capability or expensive activity. He hosts this session directly rather than handing it to a sales function.
Built for people making the decision
- Operating or engineering leaders evaluating offshore capability for the first time
- Finance leaders who will be asked to approve or defend the business case
- Founders whose senior hiring has stalled against a validated roadmap
- Anyone who looked at this two or more years ago and has not revisited it since
Frequently asked questions
Is this a sales presentation?
No. It covers the same material we would cover in a first conversation, including where the model is not a fit. There is a short Q&A at the end and no obligation attached to attending.
Will there be a recording?
Yes. Register and we will send the recording afterward whether or not you can attend live.
What level should I be to get value from this?
It assumes no prior knowledge of capability centres, but it is aimed at people who are actually evaluating the decision rather than looking for a general introduction.
How long is the Q&A?
The session is 40 minutes with roughly 15 minutes of live Q&A after, and we stay on for individual questions if time allows.
Can I send questions in advance?
Yes, include them when you register and we will make sure they are covered even if time runs short during the live session.
