There's a quiet revolution happening in the world of Global Capability Centres (GCCs). For years, GCCs have focused mainly on technology, finance, HR, and operations - functions that made sense offshore for efficiency and scale. But now, the lens is widening.

Already, 10% of India's 1,700+ GCCs are focused on legal, and that number is growing.

It's a clear signal: the GCC playbook is being rewritten.
