Flexible Models

Choose the Model That Fits Your Ambition

Whether you want full ownership from day one, a low-risk build-and-transfer, or the fastest path to India talent, Embark has a model designed for your stage and risk appetite.
Model 01

Assisted Build

You own and operate from day one.

Embark handles entity incorporation, workspace procurement, IT infrastructure, and first-cohort hiring as a vendor. You hold full legal ownership of the entity from the moment it is registered. We de-risk every step of the build without reducing your control.

Why this model works

Full ownership from day one: you set strategy, Embark executes

Go live in 30 days, with a full office by day 120

No vendor co-ordination overhead: one contract, one point of contact

Proven GCC playbooks applied to your specific scope and sector

Best for

Organisations that want full ownership from day one with a trusted partner to de-risk the build.

Model 02

Build–Operate–Transfer (BOT)

We build and run it, then hand it over.

Embark builds your GCC under its own entity and operates it as a managed centre, then transfers full legal ownership to you at a defined milestone. You receive a fully staffed, documented, and operational centre, without bearing setup and early-operational risk yourself.

Why this model works

No entity risk during build and operate; Embark bears it

You receive a running, staffed, documented centre at transfer

Transfer terms and triggers defined up front, in the contract

Clean handover: every SOP and vendor contract transfer-ready

Best for

Organisations seeking the lowest-risk path to a fully owned India GCC with a defined transfer milestone.

Model 03

Employer of Record (EOR)

India talent. No entity required.

Embark employs your India-based team on its own payroll. You direct the day-to-day work, manage performance, and integrate the team into your global organisation. Embark handles all employment contracts, payroll, statutory compliance, and HR administration.

Why this model works

The fastest path to market for India talent

Zero entity exposure: all compliance and employment risk sits with Embark

Convert to your own entity on your timeline, with full continuity

Full statutory compliance covered: PF, ESIC, TDS, PT, and more

Best for

Companies running pilots, proof-of-concept teams, or rapid-start needs before committing to a captive structure.
