Background
India remains at the forefront of Global Capability Centres
(GCCs) expansion, witnessing unprecedented growth over the past
five years.
The GCC landscape has expanded dramatically from approximately
1,200 centres in FY21 to over 1,900 in FY25, with more than 400 new
GCCs and around 1,100 additional units established during this
period.
These centres collectively employ nearly 1.9 million
professionals as of FY2025, reflecting India's dominant
position in the global GCC ecosystem.
The transformation of GCCs extends beyond mere numerical growth.
These centres have evolved from traditional cost-saving units into
strategic hubs driving digital transformation, innovation, and
business resilience. Leading global enterprises are consolidating
their technology operations in India, particularly in high-value
sectors such as aerospace, defence, and semiconductors.
