Haryana already hosts more than 270 GCC units, concentrated in the Gurugram and Manesar belt. On 27 May 2026 the state notified its GCC Policy 2026, which asks new centres to reach 100 employees within three years to qualify for support. Gurugram took 45% of Delhi NCR’s record 7.2 million square feet of office leasing in the first half of 2026, according to Knight Frank India’s H1 2026 report. The region’s rents rose 13% to ₹106 per square foot a month, second only to Mumbai. A new GCC that has signed for a floor in Cyber City or on Golf Course Road pays for every week that floor sits without working desks. This guide lists the IT stack that month one needs, and which parts of it a new office should own.
What the First Wave of Hires Needs
The Nasscom-Zinnov 2026 GCC report finds that 96% of GCCs set up since FY21 launched with a product or portfolio mandate. Nearly half were built with AI as a core focus. A centre like that opens with engineers, product managers, data specialists and a small leadership group. The first month often brings 30 to 60 people, growing towards the 100-employee threshold over the following quarters.
Month one therefore needs a stack sized for the first wave and ready to double.
- Laptops for engineering, product and leadership roles, on Windows and macOS, in three or four fixed configurations.
- Desktop and monitor bundles for fixed seats in finance, operations and support, with dual monitors for analysts.
- A server or workstation line for build pipelines, data workloads and any on-premise requirement the parent mandates.
- Network switches, access points and cabling ordered against the floor plan.
- Imaging, asset tagging and a same-day replacement path, agreed before the first delivery.
Why Month One Is the Wrong Time to Buy
A new centre spends on fit-out, deposits and the first payroll in the same month. Cushman and Wakefield’s Q2 2026 India office report shows GCCs leased 16.5 million square feet nationally in the first half, 38% of all leasing. Delhi NCR accounted for 2.37 million square feet of that. Buying 60 laptops and 30 desktops in that window converts cash into a fixed asset at the point when cash is most useful elsewhere.
A laptop on rent Gurgaon plan keeps the first wave on the same monthly line as the office lease. Configured machines reach Cyber City, Golf Course Road or Udyog Vihar within 24 hours of the order, with delivery confirmed against the exact address and PIN code. Seats are added as offers are accepted, and a seat is returned if a hire falls through.
Desktops, Monitors and the Fixed Seats
Finance, HR, facilities, support and any function that works from a fixed desk runs better on a desktop with a mounted monitor and a wired connection. A computer on rent in Gurgaon bundle covers those seats in three builds. A standard desk pairs a mid-range processor with 16 GB of memory and a 24-inch monitor. A performance desk moves to 32 GB and a 27-inch screen. A dual-monitor desk serves analysts. Installation, mounting and testing happen at the office, and a failed unit is swapped the same business day.
The same line supplies a monitor-only option for laptop users who need a second screen. That is usually the first request from an engineering team once the floor fills.
Setting the Term for a Centre That Will Grow
The policy’s 100-employee floor within three years is a useful planning horizon. The stack ordered in month one will be wrong by month twelve, and the arrangement should expect that.
- Monthly Rental for the first wave, so seats track offers accepted.
- Lease on Contract over two to five years once headcount settles, with the device term matched to the office lease.
- Fully Managed DaaS for a centre that will keep growing across cities, with imaging, support, replacement and refresh on one invoice.
Two tax lines apply to that invoice. Rent paid for equipment attracts tax deduction at source at 2% under Section 194-I, and only where the monthly rent exceeds ₹50,000. Rental of IT equipment carries 18% GST under CBIC Notification 11/2017, the same rate a purchase would carry. Finance can model the whole stack as one predictable operating line from the first month.
A Gurgaon GCC’s first floor is expensive, its first hires are senior and its headcount plan will change. Renting the month-one stack keeps cash for the fit-out and the payroll, and keeps the hardware plan as flexible as the hiring plan.
