InCommon Unveils GCC 2.0 to Simplify India Build for Global Firms

InCommon, backed by Better Capital, has announced the launch of GCC 2.0 - a full-stack operator model that gives growth-stage and PE/VC-backed companies the same India build playbook large enterprises use, but faster and lighter.

There are more than 1,700 Global Capability Centers (GCCs) in India, powering product, engineering, and operations for some of the world’s most respected companies. Large enterprises looking to set up in India have long benefited from well-defined playbooks and dedicated partners, as most existing enablers are built around large, high-value contracts. 

But growth-stage and mid-sized companies do not have the same access. Instead, they are left to piece together a patchwork of recruiters, EoR providers, IT vendors, and payroll platforms on their own, often losing time and control in the process. Building fast and well in India becomes a fragmented, costly effort.

GCC 2.0 is built to change that. InCommon sets up the legal and operational backbone - entity or EoR, compliance, IT, and workspace - and runs hiring, payroll, IT, HR, and culture as one connected flow. The result is speed, visibility, and control without the overhead.

“India has the depth of talent and leadership companies need,” said Piyush Kedia, Co-Founder & CEO of InCommon. “But many great VC and PE-backed companies are pushed to look at other hubs like Poland or Eastern Europe - not because they prefer them, but because no one in India owns the full journey. Our goal is to make India the default choice by giving them the same speed, structure, and quality they expect elsewhere.”

A core strength of the model is how it solves for talent. Traditional recruiting often reaches shallow pools. InCommon built a referral platform powered by a trusted community of India’s top engineering, creative, and operations leaders - giving clients warm access to India’s top 1% talent with faster, higher-quality hires. This is complemented by The Better Hack, India’s first AI-first hackathon series that builds a steady pipeline of AI-literate, high-impact engineers, and GCC Leaders’ Breakfast, a closed-door community of India’s top India GCC leaders, connecting companies with experienced site heads and functional leaders.

InCommon has helped build teams for portfolio companies of Lightspeed, Partners Group, Tiger Global, and Y Combinator, across healthcare, SaaS, and IT services. With GCC 2.0, it aims to make India the most trusted global extension for companies looking to scale fast and well.
