What Telangana compliance is required for GCC Setup?
In Hyderabad, the primary state compliance requirements are: Telangana Shops and Establishments Act 1988 requires registration with the Labour Department within 30 days of opening.

How long does it take to set up a GCC in India?
irpr.network's average GCC launch time is 37 days from mandate to first employee operational. This is achieved by running EOR (7-day hire) and entity incorporation (3–5 weeks) in parallel.
What is the difference between Captive GCC, BOT, and EOR-first?
Captive: You own the entity from day 1. BOT: A third party builds and transfers it to you after 2–3 years. EOR-first: irpr.network employs your India team while you decide on a permanent entity. EOR-first → Pvt Ltd is the fastest and most flexible path.
Which Indian city is best for a GCC?
Bangalore for deep tech and product engineering. Hyderabad for 10–15% lower costs with comparable talent. Pune for automotive and manufacturing tech. Mumbai for BFSI. Chennai for automotive and semiconductor. The right choice depends on your industry and role mix.
Do we need a local partner to set up a GCC?
No. Under FEMA's automatic route, foreign companies can own 100% of an Indian IT/ITES entity without government approval or local partnership. irpr.network acts as your operational partner — not a shareholder.
