What is a Global Capability Centre (GCC)?
A Global Capability Centre (GCC) is a captive offshore unit set up by a multinational company in India to deliver technology, operations, analytics, or R&D functions. Unlike outsourcing, GCCs are fully owned by the parent company, giving them direct control over talent and output. India hosts over 1,700 GCCs employing more than 1.9 million people.
Which Indian cities have the most Global Capability Centres?
Our index currently ranks Hyderabad first, followed by Bengaluru, Pune, Chennai, and Mumbai — the five cities we cover in depth. That ranking reflects the GCC activity we track and validate (new centres, expansions, and hiring signals, updated daily), not the total installed base, where Bengaluru remains India's largest cluster.
How is the GCC Index city score calculated?
Each validated GCC event is weighted by event type (new centre vs. expansion), headcount announced, source confidence, sector, and recency. These signals combine into the GCC Capability Momentum Index (CMI) — a city-level score reflecting business significance, not just event volume.
How often is GCC Index data updated?
The GCC event feed is updated daily. AI-generated weekly intelligence is published every Sunday. A monthly intelligence report consolidating city leaders, sector trends, and top deals is published on the 1st of each month.
What types of companies set up GCCs in India?
GCCs span all major sectors — technology, BFSI (banking, financial services, and insurance), healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and professional services. Both Fortune 500 multinationals and mid-size global firms set up GCCs in India to access deep talent pools and operate at lower cost.
