Sattva Group has forayed into the global capability centres space with a new platform- GCCBase, an integrated platform to enable and accelerate multinational capability centres, as India’s GCC market emerges as the next big growth frontier for developers. Developed in partnership with Innovalus Group, the platform brings together infrastructure, compliance, operations, and governance under a single umbrella — aimed at helping global corporations build and scale innovation and engineering hubs in India with speed and transparency.The initiative represents a significant strategic shift for Sattva — from being a traditional office space developer to becoming an institutional enabler in the country’s enterprise infrastructure landscape.“Companies are tired of the complexity, the opacity, the endless coordination across dozens of vendors. GCCBase changes that equation. We’ve built an end-to-end platform that takes you from day zero to full operational maturity with transparency, speed, and governance. For us at Sattva, this is about more than real estate. It’s about building the infrastructure both physical and institutional that powers India’s next chapter as a global innovation leader. We are making it radically simpler to do business here, and that’s what will unlock the next wave of growth,” said Shivam Agarwal, Vice President, Strategic Growth, Sattva Group.Sattva’s entry into the GCC ecosystem builds on its institutional-grade portfolio and track record with global tenants. The group has 78 million sq. ft of completed projects and 71 million sq. ft under construction across India’s key cities. Its Knowledge Realty Trust (KRT) — co-sponsored with Blackstone — is India’s largest listed office REIT, with 46 million sq. ft of Grade A assets across six cities.Live EventsSetting up a GCC in India traditionally involves navigating a maze of real estate, regulatory, HR, and operational requirements. GCCBase seeks to streamline this by institutionalizing every step of the process through digital tools, compliance modules, and real-time governance dashboards. The platform will initially focus on technology, BFSI, healthcare, and engineering — sectors that together represent nearly 70% of India’s GCC footprint.The launch of GCCBase signals Sattva’s intent to go beyond leasing space — toward creating a platform that supports enterprises across every stage of their journey, from entity incorporation to operational maturity, ensuring governance, consistency, and long-term value creation.“The momentum is undeniable. We are seeing increasing interest from companies of all sizes; from high-growth startups to Fortune 500 giants that want to build in India,” said Vishal Vijay, Chief Executive Officer of GCCBase. “What’s exciting is how the conversation has evolved. Five years ago, companies came to India to save money. Today, they are coming to win. They are setting up research labs, product engineering teams, and innovation centers. The GCC is becoming the strategic core, not the cost center. Our endeavor is to make that transition as seamless as possible and to help companies unlock value faster than they thought possible”As global enterprises decentralize operations and deepen their India footprint, platforms like GCC platforms are emerging as strategic infrastructure, bridging the gap between real estate and capability creation. As The Economic Times recently reported, leading developers such as Embassy Group, Bhartiya Urban, and RMZ Corp are pivoting towards creating specialized platforms and solutions for global firms setting up GCCs in India.This shift comes as India emerges as the world’s top destination for GCCs, with over 1,600 centres employing more than two million professionals and contributing upwards of $ 46 billion annually to the economy. According to NASSCOM, this number could surpass 2,500 centres by 2030, creating an additional million high-skill jobs and unlocking a $ 110 billion market opportunity.Add as a Reliable and Trusted News Source Add Now!
