Thalaron Global helps global companies set up and scale Captive R&D and Innovation Centers in India — also known in the industry as Global Capability Centers (GCCs).
We build high-performing engineering, AI, data, cybersecurity, and product teams that act as a seamless extension of your HQ.

We do not operate as an outsourcing vendor.
We help you build your own Captive R&D / Innovation Center (GCC) with full ownership, dedicated teams, and zero vendor lock-in.
No shared resources. No outsourcing compromises.

We offer a true one-stop solution for building Captive R&D / Innovation Centers (GCCs) in India:

• Location strategy & feasibility
• Entity setup & regulatory guidance
• Workspace search, negotiation & vendor management
• Talent strategy, hiring & onboarding
• HR, payroll, finance & compliance setup
• Engineering, AI, data, platform, and cybersecurity team buildout
• Managed Operations, including:

1.  HR & people operations
2. Finance, taxation & compliance
3. Procurement & vendor management
4. IT infrastructure setup & ongoing IT support
5. Workspace management
6. Governance & reporting

We partner with:

• VC-backed startups
• High-growth scaleups
• Mid-market global enterprises
• Product & platform companies
• Organizations building AI, engineering, or cybersecurity teams in India

Most clients see strong traction in 8–12 weeks.
A fully operational Captive R&D / Innovation Center (GCC) with 20–50 engineers typically takes 3–6 months, depending on roles.

For larger teams, we can scale aggressively.
We’ve helped multiple global companies grow from 0 → 200+ engineers in India using:

• Parallel recruitment pods
• Multi-city/hub-and-spoke hiring
• Pre-built hiring pipelines
• Strong leadership hiring frameworks

Scaling to 100–300+ engineers is absolutely achievable with a phased plan and multi-location hiring.

No.
You can start without forming an India entity.

Thalaron Global offers a compliant EOR (Employer of Record) model that lets you:

• Hire talent immediately
• Build your initial team quickly
• Reduce upfront effort and cost
• Test India before deep investment
• Seamlessly transition to your own Captive R&D / Innovation Center (GCC) when ready

Most companies start with EOR → then move to their own entity as they scale.

Yes.
Your team is 100% dedicated to you — aligned to your culture, roadmap, tools, processes, and engineering standards.
Thalaron handles operations; you own direction, priorities, and delivery.

Your IP stays fully owned and controlled by your company.
Since this is your Captive R&D / Innovation Center (GCC) — not outsourcing — all code, data, algorithms, and product IP remain with you.

Captive centers provide stronger IP security than vendor-led setups.

We can help you:

• Scale your existing India team
• Transition from vendors to a captive model
• Improve governance, delivery quality & retention
• Build long-term capability and organizational stability
