Bangalore, April 25, 2025 – 14^th Degree Azimuth Advisory, a boutique GCC advisory firm focusing on AI-First Global Capability Centers for Trade Buyers and Enterprises, today released its GCC report titled “GCCs – Evolution, Technology Adoption and Way Ahead, Thought Leadership Paper covering AI Readiness in Back and Middle Office”, at a function held in Bangalore.

Releasing the report, Yadu Singh, Global Managing Partner, 14^th Degree Azimuth Advisory said “AI proof of concepts are slowly getting into production in back and middle office in GCCs. These PoCs not only face employee resistance especially among the more tenured global capability centers but also existing structural and technical challenges like clean and context specific data, data localisation challenges and ESG pressures such as more stringent GDPR, DPDP act for offshore entities.”

The report provides key insights on

1. Efficiency of operations is a clear winner when it comes to business outcomes
2. Rising Challenges in Data Privacy, Protection, and Compliance
3. Increasing demand for Environmental Social and Governance Reporting
4. GCCs at the Core of Cost-Effective Digital Transformation

Talking about the how the report benefits enterprises looking at setting up their GCC’s , Nandini Sankar, Managing Partner said “The 14DAA research methodology comprised of both experiential learning of last 25 years across both providers and GCC owners as well as primary research on AI readiness in back and middle office. Rather than focusing heavily on historical data, we centred our approach on three discontinuities reshaping the ecosystem—AI, Quantum Computing, and the rapid transformation of Digital/Public infrastructure in countries like India. This is not a case of continuous improvement but of disruptive innovation, requiring a fresh perspective for evaluation. Our key objective was to assess the maturity of centers, Leadership, Culture, and Operating Structure. The focus was to assess the management flexibility of the parent company to fully embrace these discontinuities (for example AI) and the ability of GCC to move toward a more risk mitigation and business outcome-based innovation driven approach for the parent.”

The event was attended by leading companies like Enerva Marine, Fresenius, Harmann International, Infinity Infoway, Mercedes Benz, NDB Wealth, Randstad Digital, Sutherland Global amongst others.

The report will also be launched in London on June 10^th (Backdrop of the London AI Summit), New York on June 17^th (Backdrop of the Banking IT Summit) and Hamburg on June 24/25^th (Backdrop of India Week)

Tog and Trim, The Indian Clothing Brand Redefining Everyday Fashion. In a market full of passing trends and fast fashion, one homegrown brand is making a lasting impact–quietly winning hearts with clothes that feel just right. Meet Tog and Trim, an Indian clothing label that stands for comfort, quality, and affordability without ever compromising on style.

The Journey: From a Small Town Dream to a Growing Fashion Movement

The story of Tog and Trim began in October 2022, not in a big fashion capital, but in the small town of Etawah, Uttar Pradesh. Its founder and co-creator, Amitosh Mishra, has always had a passion for fashion–especially for clothing that feels great and looks even better.

Amitosh’s vision was simple yet strong: to create everyday fashion that doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket. With a deep understanding of what Indian consumers really want–durable, stylish, and comfortable clothing at a fair price–he turned his idea into reality. Today, Tog and Trim has fulfilled over 10,000+ orders across India, building a loyal customer base along the way.

And here’s the best part–throughout this journey, they’ve maintained zero customer disappointments, a rare feat in today’s world of online shopping.

What Makes Tog and Trim Different?

In India, where fashion is as diverse as its people, finding the right mix of comfort and style can be a challenge. But Tog and Trim has nailed that balance.

From basic t-shirts and classic polos to oversized statement tees, joggers, and shorts–the brand has something for everyone, no matter your vibe.

Let’s break down why this brand stands out:

– Made in India, for India

Every piece is designed and manufactured in India, keeping Indian climates, body types, and tastes in mind. Whether you live in Mumbai’s humidity or Delhi’s winter, Tog and Trim has you covered.

– Comfort Meets Quality

From heavy-weight 240 GSM oversized t-shirts to dry-fit polos, the brand uses premium fabrics that feel good and last long. You’ll never find rough stitches, itchy tags, or cheap prints here.

– Affordable for All

Tog and Trim believes that great fashion should be for everyone. That’s why they offer high-quality pieces at budget-friendly prices, proving that you don’t need a luxury tag to wear something you love.

– Unisex, Trendy & Versatile

Whether you’re into anime-inspired prints, solid classics, gym-ready fits, or cute crop tops–men and women both love what Tog and Trim has to offer.

What’s Hot Right Now?

Right now, their oversized t-shirt collection is turning heads–offering designs from anime graphics to clean minimalist looks. Oversized fits are all the rage on social media, and Tog and Trim was one of the early movers in India to bring this trend to the masses.

Their dry-fit polo shirts with zipper details are also top-sellers–ideal for everything from your morning workouts to evening hangouts. Plus, their bottomwear like joggers and shorts are made from soft, breathable materials–perfect for Indian weather.

Designed for Every Season

India’s seasons are extreme–and Tog and Trim gets that. While their cotton-based tees and crop tops are ideal for scorching summers, their 300 GSM hoodies and sweatshirts are your perfect winter essentials. One brand. All weather.

A Brand That Cares

Beyond just clothing, Tog and Trim is built around community. The team personally handles customer feedback, offers prompt support, and even surprises returning customers with handwritten notes and small perks.

For example, they offer an extra 5% off on all prepaid orders, with no minimum cart value–just because they appreciate the love and trust of their buyers.

Looking to the Future

Fast forward to 2025, Tog and Trim is no longer just a clothing brand–it’s a movement built by passionate people like Amitosh and his small but driven team. Their dream? To become India’s go-to destination for everyday fashion.

Big plans are already in motion–from launching new collections for women’s fashion, expanding their gymwear line, and collaborating with creators and communities across India.

Final Words

Tog and Trim is proof that when passion meets purpose, magic happens. What started as a dream in a small town is now a name trusted by thousands. And with Amitosh Mishra leading the way, there’s no doubt this Indian brand is just getting started.

Whether you’re a college student, a fitness freak, a working professional, or someone who just wants to feel confident in what they wear–Tog and Trim is for you.
