Bengaluru has cemented its status as the leader for global capability centres (GCCs), commanding a 40% share in India’s GCC leasing market (from CY 2022 to Jun’24). The city holds the largest share of GCC talent, accounting for 34% in Jan-Jun ’24.
Hyderabad has ascended to GCC prominence due to the government’s proactive policy framework and efficient urban infrastructure. The city attracts talent from across the nation, offering a compelling proposition for GCCs.
Chennai has emerged as a major GCC hub, underpinned by a vibrant technology sector and robust manufacturing base. The city’s educational prowess in STEM fields attracts new GCC entrants.
Pune, historically a BFSI GCC stronghold, is experiencing renewed interest from engineering & manufacturing and technology firms. Competitive real estate costs, a cosmopolitan talent pool, and proximity to an automotive and engineering hub make Pune attractive to GCC occupiers.
The emergence of AI and ML as pivotal technologies underscores the imperative for robust talent reskilling. By cultivating a highly skilled workforce and adopting innovative learning methods, GCCs in India can establish themselves as Global Centers of Excellence.
India boasts a substantial engineering talent pool, enabling firms to expand across diverse roles. The future promises further diversification as life sciences, automobiles, and aerospace sectors expand their Indian GCC presence. With a strategic roadmap for 2024 GCC development, India is poised to spearhead the next wave of globalization.
