Benefits of GCC enablement and EOR services from Assystant
Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in India give companies access to a deep pool of engineering, AI and operations talent. Setting one up alone, however, means incorporating an entity, navigating Indian labour and tax law, building HR and payroll, and finding office space and IT infrastructure – before the first hire is productive. As your Employer of Record (EOR), Assystant becomes the legal employer of your India team while you direct their work. We combine compliant employment with shared HR, workspace, IT and engineering services so you can run your centre in India hassle-free.
- Hire in India without setting up a legal entity first.
- Compliant contracts, payroll and statutory benefits from day one.
- Ready-to-use workspace, IT and security infrastructure.
- One partner for employment, operations and AI-native engineering expertise.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Employer of Record (EOR) in India?
An Employer of Record legally employs staff on your behalf in India, handling contracts, payroll, taxes, statutory benefits and compliance, while the team works full-time for your company.
Can we start a GCC in India without opening our own entity?
Yes. With an EOR model you can hire and run a team in Bangalore first, then transfer it to your own entity later if you choose.
What does Assystant provide beyond payroll?
Shared HR, recruitment support, office workspace in Bangalore, laptops and IT infrastructure, and optional engineering and AI expertise to help your centre deliver faster.
Which time zones can a Bangalore GCC cover?
Bangalore teams can overlap with European business hours and, with planned shifts, with US hours, which suits follow-the-sun support and product engineering.
