Nano GCC & Micro GCC — Flexible India Team-Building Models
Nano GCC and Micro GCC are flexible India team-building models. A client may incorporate in India and hire directly on its Indian entity payroll, or start with Inaac-managed payroll/EOR and later transfer the team through a BOT pathway. BOT is not limited to large GCCs; it can apply to Nano, Micro, and scaled India teams.
Nano GCC — Controlled India Entry for 1–20 People
Nano GCC is designed for companies that want a real India capability — their own team, their own brand — without overbuilding upfront. Suitable for 1–20 people. Can be launched on your Indian entity payroll or through Inaac-managed payroll/EOR.
Team Size: 1–20 People
Nano GCC is designed for controlled India entry with a small, focused team. Right-sized governance and compliance for a lean but serious India capability.
Flexible Employment Structure
Launch on your incorporated Indian entity payroll or start with Inaac-managed payroll/EOR. Both paths are supported with structured statutory compliance.
Structured Compliance Support
GST, TDS, PF, ESIC, professional tax, ROC, and FEMA compliance managed end-to-end through a structured compliance calendar and filing coordination process.
BOT Pathway Available
When you are ready to take full ownership, we transfer people, processes, documentation, governance, and operating controls at agreed milestones.
Micro GCC — Dedicated Functional Team for 20–50 People
Micro GCC is designed for a dedicated functional team with its own leadership, governance, and operating cadence. Suitable for 20–50 people. Can be launched on your Indian entity payroll or through Inaac-managed payroll/EOR.
Team Size: 20–50 People
Micro GCC is designed for a dedicated functional team — engineering, finance, operations, or a cross-functional India capability center.
Flexible Employment Structure
Operate on your Indian entity payroll or Inaac-managed payroll/EOR. Transition between structures as your team grows and governance matures.
Dedicated Leadership Support
We support hiring and onboarding of India team leads, managers, and functional heads to build a self-sustaining India operation.
BOT Pathway Available
BOT is not limited to large GCCs. Micro GCC teams can transition to full client ownership through a structured BOT pathway at agreed milestones.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Nano GCC and Micro GCC?
Nano GCC and Micro GCC are team-size models. Nano GCC is suitable for 1–20 people; Micro GCC is suitable for 20–50 people. Both can be launched through your incorporated Indian entity or through Inaac-managed payroll/EOR. The key difference is team size and the level of governance and operational infrastructure required.
Does Nano GCC require incorporation in India?
No. A Nano GCC can be launched through Inaac-managed payroll/EOR without prior incorporation. If you choose to incorporate, we can set up your Indian entity and run the Nano GCC on your entity payroll. Both paths are supported.
Is BOT only for large GCCs?
No. BOT is a transition pathway, not a size model. BOT can apply to Nano GCC, Micro GCC, and scaled GCC teams. Inaac builds and operates the India team — on your entity payroll or Inaac-managed EOR — then transfers people, processes, documentation, governance, and operating controls to you at agreed milestones.
What functions can be built under a Nano or Micro GCC?
Common functions include engineering and software development, data and AI operations, finance and accounting back-office, HR operations, customer support, and digital operations. The right function mix depends on your business model and India entry objectives.
How long does it take to launch a Nano GCC?
A Nano GCC through Inaac-managed EOR can be operational in 2–4 weeks. If you are incorporating a new Indian entity, the timeline is typically 6–10 weeks including incorporation, payroll setup, and first hire onboarding.
