India's GCCs Emerge as Key Innovation Hubs on Global Stage
New Delhi, Wednesday, 16 July 2025.
India’s Global Capability Centres are redefining enterprise operations by spearheading technological advancements in AI, multi-cloud solutions, and sustainable practices, positioning India as a leader in global business transformation.
Technological Advancements within India’s GCCs
The evolution of India’s Global Capability Centres from traditional support roles to innovation engines is transforming the global business landscape. These centres are now at the forefront of developing AI, multi-cloud architecture, and sustainable operations which are critical to modern enterprise transformations. This shift has not only positioned India as a tech innovation leader but also as a central figure in reshaping global enterprise frameworks [1][5].
The Economic Impact of India’s GCCs
Goldman Sachs projects that India’s GCC sector will directly contribute $0.5 trillion to the country’s gross value added over the next decade, propelling India toward a $10 trillion GDP [3]. This growth is supported by a robust tech talent pipeline, as well as government incentives such as special economic zones and tax benefits which ensure sustained investment and development in this sector [1][5].
Expansion into Tier 2 and Tier 3 Cities
India’s tier-2 cities like Coimbatore and Jaipur are experiencing rapid growth due to the expansion of GCCs. These cities offer cost-effective talent with strong retention metrics, incentivizing corporations to establish operations there [1]. Furthermore, companies like ANSR are planning massive expansions, with a majority of their new GCCs located in India, boosting local economies and creating thousands of job opportunities [5].
Future Prospects and Challenges
While India’s GCCs are well-positioned for continued growth, they face challenges such as talent attrition in tier-1 cities where competition is fierce. Despite these challenges, the sector remains pivotal to India’s economic trajectory, with expectations to employ over 3 million professionals by 2028 [2][5]. The current focus on innovation and technology-driven transformation ensures that India’s GCCs will remain at the forefront of global enterprise operations [1][5].
