For leadership teams weighing a move of IT, shared services or engineering to India

Considering India?
Experience it for yourself first.

Make your next move with confidence.

We design and orchestrate a three- to four-day programme in Hyderabad for your leadership team, tailored to your business needs.

You meet the people who can help you understand your options in India: recruitment agencies, real estate consultants, consultants, outsourcing providers and company leaders. Then you choose the approach that suits your business: your own Global Capability Centre (GCC), outsourcing, a BOT or BOTT model, or an independent setup. You may also decide that a different direction is right for you.

We'll tailor the agenda together around your priorities. You decide what's next, with no obligation to proceed.

Our role

What we do, and what we don't

What we do

  • Connect you with our established network of contacts in India, based on your business needs.
  • Prepare a tailored, hour-by-hour agenda with meeting locations, names and contact details.
  • Recommend hotels for your stay. You choose and book your accommodation.
  • Arrange your airport-to-hotel transfer once you share your flight details, at your expense.
  • Arrange a full-day driver to take you between meetings and back to your hotel at the end of each day's programme, at your expense.
  • Give you an initial network you can contact now, later or whenever you're ready.

What we don't do

  • Act as a consulting company or make business decisions for you.
  • Act as a travel agency or book your flights and hotels.
  • Cover your travel, accommodation or local transport costs.
  • Have contracts with the partners you meet. They are independent companies.
  • Require you to work with any partner or continue the relationship after your visit.
  • Take part in or manage any subsequent work between you and the partners you meet.

Our engagement ends when the agreed programme concludes. You're free to stay longer in Hyderabad and make your own plans. Your next chapter begins with the confidence to decide what's right for your business.

Why us

Why we do this

Because we've been there. Literally.

When we first explored India for our own companies, organising the visit became a job in itself. Weeks of chasing contacts, emails disappearing into the unknown and the occasional "Will anyone actually turn up?"

Then came the practical questions. Where should we stay without spending half the day in a car? How do we get from one meeting to the next? Can we actually fit those meetings into one day, or have we accidentally scheduled lunch in traffic? Who should we meet? And once we meet them, what should we ask?

We've done the head-scratching so you can skip that part. Meet the right people, get a real feel for India and spend your time thinking about what's next for your business.

Why only Hyderabad

In 2025, more new capability centres opened in Hyderabad than in any other Indian city

We work in Hyderabad only, because that is where our people are. We don't compare cities.

Questions

Questions you may have

Why only Hyderabad?

Our own people are there, and in 2025 more new capability centres opened there than in any other Indian city. If you need a comparison with Bengaluru or Pune, we will say so openly and point you elsewhere.

Do providers pay you?

No. We don't have contracts with the partners you meet. They are independent companies.

Do you book flights and hotels?

No. We recommend hotels; you choose and book your accommodation and flights. We arrange the airport transfer and a driver for the meeting days, at your expense.

What does the programme cost?

A fixed price agreed before you travel, plus your own travel costs. [Price to be added.]

What kind of work is this for?

IT and software development, shared services and engineering. We don't cover manufacturing.
