🏢 Background
Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in India have transformed into strategic hubs—not just cost centers. India hosts more than 1,700 GCCs and is projected to have 2,200 by 2030, with over 1.9 million professionals employed. GCCs are now integral in driving AI, product innovation, automation, and cloud engineering for their parent organizations.
🌍 Why India for GCCs?
- Cost Advantage: Operational savings of 20–70% compared to US/EU.
- Talent Density: Access to millions of STEM professionals and rapidly growing AI/ML expertise in hubs like Bangalore and Hyderabad.
- Policy & Ecosystem Support: Favorable state-level incentives and GCC-specific schemes in UP, Karnataka, and Telangana.
