The company delivers multidisciplinary consulting services spanning techno-economic feasibility studies, industrial market surveys, bid management, valuation, environment management, third-party inspection, project monitoring, industrial cluster development for MSMEs, and technology transfer/energy-efficiency initiatives executed with partners TERI and IGES Japan.

The firm's operating backbone includes an in-house NABL-accredited environmental laboratory (Certificate T-2375, since 2014), accredited Schedule-I environmental auditors status with GPCB, MoEF empanelment for CETP technical appraisal, and bank empanelments for Techno-Economic Viability (TEV) studies and Lender's Independent Engineer (LIE) mandates. It also develops custom web-based and Android-based applications for government departments, such as village-level agricultural survey systems for the Directorate of Agriculture. Projects have spanned valuations totaling approximately Rs. 800 Crores since 1986, empanelment processes covering 4,500+ models and 500+ manufacturers, and large infrastructure mandates including a Rs. 1,100 Cr road project under Bharatmala.

GITCO monetizes through project-based, quote-based consulting engagements with multi-year contract cadences, primarily via B2G channels (government tendering and empanelment) supplemented by direct enterprise sales to financial institutions and large industrial clients (e.g., Adani Power, Nirma, Sun Pharma, Cadila). Its customer base spans central and state ministries, Gujarat PSUs, nationalized/scheduled banks, MSMEs, and large enterprises across pharma, chemical, energy, and infrastructure sectors, with operating geographies concentrated in Gujarat and selectively extended into Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh.
