UST, a worldwide pioneer in AI and digitalization solutions, has formed a partnership with Global Capability Center (GCC) advisory firm Evaaya to launch UST Nimbus. This new design-led operating model aims to enable GCCs to go beyond being execution-focused centers and become Global Value Organizations that focus on the creation of intellectual property (IP) and delivering tangible business results.
The launch of UST Nimbus comes at a time when the global business environment is changing; GCCs have evolved from simple cost-saving centers to become the main source of enterprise innovation. While organizations are pressed to both reduce their costs and enhance their digital capabilities, UST Nimbus offers a full build-operate-scale solution that makes sure these centers are not only high-performing and culturally aligned, but also ready for innovation right from the start.
Moving Beyond Talent Access to Design-Led Excellence
Whereas the typical GCC model places heavy emphasis on building real estate and infrastructure assets, UST Nimbus relies upon the power of practitioners. Thanks to their ability to scale world-class centers, the model guarantees that the corporate culture and identity are completely aligned with those of the parent organization, which allows for high-performance teams, retention of talented people, and rapid product delivery.

Talent and IP Ownership as Competitive Advantages
The workforce is the key competitive advantage of every firm under the UST Nimbus concept. Using AI-based talent solutions and advanced workforce planning processes, it becomes possible to attract top-notch specialists and promote strong employer branding. Through retaining the internal expertise, proprietary data models, and unique platforms, an organization is capable of doing the following:
Minimizing Vendor Dependence: Transforming fragmented vendor services into a powerful internal hub.
Protecting Vital IP: Ensuring that all innovations stay in the organization.
Speeding Time-to-Market: Utilizing a competent and committed workforce.
“At UST, our first-hand experience scaling global teams gives us the insight required to solve critical issues and deliver sustainable transformation through a design-first, full-stack delivery model. UST Nimbus reflects a shift in how GCCs are built, transforming them from cost-saving centers to strategic engines of innovation, IP creation, and enterprise value. It brings together UST’s expertise in scaling global teams with a design-led, full-stack approach to building, operating, and continuously optimizing GCCs for long-term performance. With this model, organizations can move faster, retain critical capabilities, and continuously innovate at scale, delivering lasting value across the enterprise,” said Bharath Krishnaswamy, Senior Vice President, UST.
A Partnership Built on Long-Term Resilience
The collaboration between UST and Evaaya combines UST’s massive engineering and AI execution capabilities with Evaaya’s specialized advisory expertise. The result is a resilient operating model that prioritizes long-term operational integration over mere setup.
“UST and Evaaya are committed to leveraging our unique strengths to build resilient, innovation-driven GCC solutions that deliver lasting business value. While many GCC models prioritize setup and scale, our focus is on the factors which determine long-term success for the GCC, including operation, integration with the enterprise, and sustained value delivery. By shifting the focus to strategic alignment and value generation, this joint offering delivers measurable impact and empowers clients,” said Vaidyanathan Seshan, EVP and Founder, Evaaya.
