Global Reach Consulting, Inc. (GRC) was launched in March 2003 during the
plunge of the dotcom and telecom sectors of the US economy when overseas outsourcing was being recognized as an effective tool for reducing costs.
We have grown from exclusively providing outsourcing
services to one where our value is in communicating
insight and helping US firms understand the costs
and benefits of doing business in India.
Our services marry the
best practices of corporate America and our long
time interest in people and cultures. GRC prides
itself on consistently applying due diligence, high
standards and an excellent understanding of the
value of methodology in the service of our clients.
We are also highly sensitive to the importance of
bridging the cultural gap between participants of
different nationalities.
Today US companies -
large and small - still rush into India, expecting
benefits only. Then are disappointed when the
experience is not at all successful and the costs
unexpectedly high! International business is always
full of risks and India is no exception. We focus on
that niche market that recognizes the value of due
diligence before entering into the Indian market.
GRC is still a small,
flexible corporation specializing in providing
personal service to all its clients.
We are advocates of the client. Our advantage is that we are not a supplier ourselves and therefore can objectively select the supplier that will best meet the needs of our client.
We ask our
clients to view us as an extension of their own
in-house staff, because we are your practical guide
to doing business in India!
