Chakkilam offers a unique Virtual Captive Center model for clients who would like to choose the best of both worlds - setting up your offshore captive center and outsourcing to a third party.

Our Virtual Captive Centers incubate a dedicated development center where you have complete control on all aspects of running the center without the costs and risks associated with setting up an organization offshore.

Captive centers are economically viable only when there are more than 300 resources working offshore. But they offer unlimited flexibility and control. Through a build-operate-transfer mode, Chakkilam can

•  Incubate your center
•  Hire the right talent
•  Transition work offshore
•  Operationalize the center and
•  Transfer when you are ready

We will help you with

Hiring : You can hire named resources (not new college grads) who will not be "rotated" off your team. You can insert hiring clauses that will allow you to transfer these hires in case you decide to setup your own offshore center.

Infrastructure : For teams of more than 10 we can build client specific workspaces where everything can be customized. Customized office themes, network security, Chinese walls that separate your teams from the rest, dedicated networks, everything.

Training : Training inputs are uniquely customized for each individual. Onsite and offshore teams are sensitized to deal with cross cultural issues.

Process support : We will adopt "your" process, whether it is Scrum or RUP or XP. The key to successful product development is One Team that is on the same page on how everything is done.

Governance structure : Our management team has worked with cross cultural teams offshore and we understand product development mindset. We are also here to advise you on local issues and how to handle them.

HR Support : We will help you create HR policies uniquely tailored for your team. Your team will be managed through progressive HR practices that are in line with your people and performance philosophy.
