The journey
From the first hire to a centre that scales
Six stages, one partner. Most centres start at the first step; some hand us a centre that is already running.
01
Land
Hire your first people through our Employer of Record, before your entity exists.
02
Set up
Registrations, salary structures, policies and payroll put in place for the new centre.
03
Hire
Teams built at a flat 5% of CTC per closed position, on our own Applicant Tracking System.
04
Run
Payroll, statutory filings and labour law compliance every month, in every state you are in.
05
Care
Insurance, cabs, rewards, gifting, expenses and assets looked after for your people.
06
Scale
New teams, new cities and new countries added without changing partner.

The honest comparison
Build your own HR back office, or hand it over?
| The moment | Your own HR back office | With True HR |
|---|---|---|
| Before the first payroll | Recruit an HR operations, payroll and compliance team, then buy and configure the software | Nothing to build: the team and the systems are already running |
| If the entity is not ready | Hiring waits for incorporation and registrations | Start through our Employer of Record and decide on the entity later |
| A new state or city | Its registrations, slabs and registers learnt from scratch | Added to one tracker by a team that already files there |
| When headcount doubles | More HR and payroll staff to hire and manage | The retainer moves up a slab; the team stays the same |
| When something slips | Split between your team, a payroll vendor and consultants | One team computes, files and answers for it |
Frequently asked questions
What is a Global Capability Centre (GCC)?
A Global Capability Centre is a unit a multinational owns and runs in another country, most often India, to deliver technology, engineering, finance or operations work for the whole group. The people are your employees and report to your leaders; what can be handed to a partner is the HR machinery around them.
Do we need an Indian entity before we start hiring?
No. You can hire your first people in India through our Employer of Record while the entity is being set up, and we run the full domestic stack for them: PF, ESI, Professional Tax and TDS. Once your entity is in place, the same team runs its payroll and filings.
What does True HR run for a GCC, and what stays with us?
We run hiring, payroll, statutory filings, labour law compliance, liaisoning with the authorities, the employee lifecycle, HR policies, and workplace services such as insurance, cabs, expenses and assets. Your leaders keep the work itself: who to hire, what they build, how they are managed and paid.
How is a GCC engagement priced?
On a fixed monthly retainer set by your headcount slab, with hiring charged at a flat 5% of CTC per closed position. Large and multi-country centres are priced to scope, and you get a firm quote within two working days of a scoping call.
Which Indian cities do you cover?
Our Indian offices are in Bangalore, Mysuru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai, and payroll and compliance are run for every state a client operates in.
