The GCC captive-charter playbook
How to write a 90-day AI charter for your India GCC that actually gets renewed in year two.
Based on 5 GCC captive engagements in Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Pune. Covers what a year-one charter should do (prove velocity, not ROI), how to staff it (fractional senior + embedded juniors, not an agency), and the three questions that separate a renewed charter from a shuttered one.
What's inside
- 01The 90-day rhythm: weekly demo, monthly memo, quarterly review
- 02Staffing the first 12 months: why you hire 2 senior + 4 junior, not 6 mid
- 03The TALPRO-IQ 8-axis vendor matrix applied to GCC charter context
- 04Year-one KPIs that don't trigger the parent company to pull the plug
- 05The renewal narrative: three questions your parent CTO will ask
“Your parent company's CFO is not going to read your AI strategy deck. They're going to read line 4 of the renewal memo. Write line 4 first, then reverse-engineer the charter.”
Written for
GCC MDs, captive centre leadership charter-phase, parent-company CTOs signing off on India charters.
