The India GCC story

Why global companies are building
their next team in India

India has become the place where global companies build and own capability of their own. Engineering, product, data, AI, finance and customer operations now run from Global Capability Centres (GCCs) here, owned and led by the companies themselves.

This four-part series walks through that shift: what India now does at scale, how GCCs grew from back offices into innovation hubs, the talent that makes it possible, and the practical steps to set up a centre of your own.
