GCC CONCLAVE BANGALORE UNLEASHING THE POTENTIAL OF GCCs

India stands unrivaled as the world's premier destination for Global Capability Centers(GCCs). With over 1,800 centers employing 2.16 million professionals and generating $76 billion in export revenues - 2% of the nation's GDP-India's GCC ecosystem is redefining global business operations.

At the heart of this transformation is Bangalore, home to 870+ GCC units and recognized as the epicenter of innovation across IT, high-tech, BFSI, healthcare, and digital engineering. Karnataka's ambitious GCC Policy sets the stage for exponential growth: 500 new centers, $50 billion in economic impact, and 350,000 new jobs by 2029.

The momentum is undeniable. With GCC revenues growing at 14% annually and the sector projected to reach $100-110 billion by 2030, India's GCCs are evolving from cost centers into strategic powerhouses driving AI adoption, digital transformation, and global innovation leadership.
