Scaling product development isn’t just about expanding your engineering floor—it’s about evolving your capabilities. Today’s product-led companies are often stuck in a loop of hiring delays, overloaded teams, and rising U.S. tech salaries. A recent McKinsey 2025 study revealed that 74% of firms struggle to keep up with innovation due to talent shortages. And when deadlines slip and burnout creeps in, it’s clear your in-house model alone may not be sustainable.
This is where Global Capability Centers (GCCs) emerge as the real game-changer. Instead of outsourcing your core product or managing scattered freelance teams, emerging engineering leaders are partnering with fully embedded teams offshore that operate as their extended arm.
By setting up a GCC via expert partners, you gain access to India’s 5M+ developer pool and onboard technology-specific squads in weeks—not months. Salaries are 40–60% lower, but quality matches U.S. standards, with many engineers certified in AI, cloud, automation, and DevOps.
Unlike traditional outsourcing, GCCs offer end-to-end ownership, cultural alignment, compliance, and seamless transition once processes stabilize. Think of it as your “future office,” already built and staffed, waiting for ownership.
Mid-market companies scaling engineering teams see:
✔ 50–60% fast delivery cycles
✔ 30–50% lower hiring & operational costs
✔ 85% success rate with hybrid U.S.–India engineering models
Here’s the key: Scaling is not about replacing your core team but extending it without burnout or budget strain.
