Enterprise delivery meets an academic talent engine.
Most GCCs in Coimbatore name the same two challenges: finding job-ready talent fast and growing leaders locally. Our partnership is built to solve both from day one.
SAVIC Technologies is an SAP Platinum Partner with delivery presence across [multiple countries] and [XX+] customers worldwide. We implement, run and modernise SAP for enterprises across manufacturing, mining, steel, automotive, infrastructure and public sector. Our consultants bring S/4HANA, RISE with SAP, GROW with SAP, WMS/EWM, ABAP, BTP and Basis expertise to every centre we build.
Our academic partner in Coimbatore brings AI-first technology programmes, industry labs and a large engineering student community. Its campus and training infrastructure give our GCC clients direct access to graduates, interns and upskilling capacity at scale.
Partnership promise
One accountable partner for your centre, from site selection to steady state. A curriculum shaped by real SAP projects, not textbooks. And a bench that grows every semester.
Choose how you want to own your centre.
Every enterprise starts from a different place. We offer four models, and you can move between them as your centre matures.
Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT)
SAVIC sets up and runs the centre under your brand, then transfers people, assets and processes to your entity on an agreed date.
Managed GCC (GCC-as-a-Service)
SAVIC hosts, staffs and operates a dedicated team for you under SLAs.
Nano GCC / SAP CoE Pod
A focused SAP, ERP or analytics pod of senior consultants and trained engineers.
Advisory and Setup Support
Location assessment, entity setup, incentive filing, hiring and real-estate support for your own captive.
Metro+1 note: Coimbatore is ideal for a Metro+1 centre. Run business continuity, overflow or specialist SAP work here while your primary hub stays in Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad or Pune.
A capability centre with SAP at its core.
Coimbatore already has a genuine local SAP competency, and SAP/ERP talent supply runs 3.6× current GCC demand. SAVIC turns that depth into a structured centre of excellence for your enterprise.
S/4HANA Transformation
Greenfield, brownfield and selective data transition programmes, delivered with SAP Activate.
RISE and GROW with SAP
Cloud ERP adoption, clean-core design and Public Cloud rollouts.
Application Management (AMS)
24×7 support, enhancements, incident and change management across time zones.
Functional Excellence
FI/CO, MM, SD, PP, QM, PM, EWM/WMS, HCM and industry solutions for manufacturing, mining, steel and automotive.
Technical and Development
ABAP, RAP, Fiori/UI5, integrations, and SAP BTP extensions.
Basis and Cloud Operations
System administration, upgrades, migrations, monitoring and SAP infrastructure planning.
Data, Analytics and AI
SAP Datasphere, Analytics Cloud, master data governance and AI-led automation of finance and supply chain processes.
Global Rollouts and Compliance
Template-based rollouts and localisation, including Indian statutory and GST compliance.
Why it works here: Engineering R&D makes up 62% of Coimbatore's GCC talent. That means SAP teams sit beside people who understand manufacturing, plants and supply chains, which is exactly where ERP value is created. Beyond SAP, your centre can extend into finance shared services, procurement, supply chain planning, engineering support and digital operations — the adjacent functions already proven in Coimbatore's GCCs.
We don't just hire talent. We build it.
Coimbatore's GCC leaders say the same thing: the best results come from home-grown teams trained for the job. The SAVIC GCC Academy makes that the default for every centre we build.
🎓How talent flows into your centre
Tamil Nadu pays you to grow here. The window closes in March 2027.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about setting up your GCC in Coimbatore with SAVIC.
Why Coimbatore instead of Bengaluru or Chennai?
Coimbatore offers engineering-grade talent at 23–33% lower compensation than Bengaluru, attrition around half the metro level, and lower office costs. It works well as a primary centre or a Metro+1 location within easy reach of both cities.
How quickly can a centre go live?
A focused SAP pod can start in [6–8] weeks using flexible workspace. A full centre with dedicated premises typically launches in [10–14] weeks.
What is Build-Operate-Transfer?
SAVIC builds and runs your centre, then transfers the team, assets and processes to your own entity at an agreed point. You get speed and lower risk now, and full ownership later.
Is the talent experienced enough for complex SAP work?
Yes. Senior SAVIC architects lead every centre, Coimbatore has strong local SAP depth, and Academy graduates train on real project scenarios before deployment.
Can you help us claim Tamil Nadu incentives?
Yes. We assess eligibility, prepare documentation and coordinate with Guidance Tamil Nadu. Approval rests with the state, and the current scheme runs to 31 March 2027.
How do you protect our data and IP?
Dedicated, access-controlled workspaces, client-specific security policies, NDAs for every team member, and [ISO 27001] aligned processes. [Confirm SAVIC certifications.]
Can our centre do more than SAP?
Yes. Centres commonly extend into finance shared services, procurement, supply chain, analytics, application development and engineering support.
