World-class capability, without enterprise complexity.
Built by an operator, backed by founders.
"We know we need India. We just don't know how to do it at our size."
— Heard directly from founders across AI, SaaS, ConsultingEvery India advisory model, GCC operator, and staffing firm was built for companies ten times your size. The minimum engagement, the cost structure, the governance overhead — all wrong for a $10M–$100M company. So founders juggle EOR providers, staffing firms, and freelancing platforms, and nobody is accountable for whether the India team actually works.
Entity, leadership, and infrastructure costs on a traditional build start on day one — before a single line of code. A Nano GCC starts differently.
Scalable capability in 60–90 days, without enterprise-level cost or complexity.
| Model | Why companies choose it | Limitation at your size |
|---|---|---|
| EOR / Freelancers | Fast market entry, first few hires | Breaks beyond 5–10 people |
| Staffing / T&M | Quick hiring, temporary capacity | Poor cultural alignment, limited IP control, high cost |
| Outsourcing | Fast, proven delivery for defined outcomes | No talent or IP control, no cultural alignment |
| Traditional GCC | Maximum control, best alignment | Too complex, high setup cost, slow to start |
| Nano GCC | Captive ownership, EOR speed, growth-stage cost | Built for exactly this segment |
