India location profile · Common assessment criteria
Indore evidence profile.
Evaluate Indore against your capability, workforce and operating requirements using the same evidence framework applied to every shortlisted location.
Decision frame
Use Indore only where the capability evidence supports it.
Assess Indore against the agreed role mix, leadership needs, hiring plan, total cost, workplace, policy, connectivity, scalability and continuity requirements. Use the same evidence standards and comparison period for every shortlisted location.
What must be true at 100, 500 and 2,000 people?
Test workforce, space, leadership, suppliers and concentration risk at each stage.
Captive, BOT, managed, joint venture or hybrid?
Ownership, employment, partner scope, control, transfer and governance design change the location requirement.
