GCC Index Weekly Insights
Seven GCC events this week — four new centres, three of them in Bengaluru, and three expansions across Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune.
Bengaluru took four of the seven events — new centres from Gilead Sciences, Suffolk and Kestra Holdings, plus a new office for Lowe's India GCC.
Suffolk launched a Bengaluru GCC led by Suffolk Global president Murthy Koti, which CEO John Fish frames as part of redefining how America builds; it plans to hire more than 200 people over the next few years, with 45 positions opened so far.
Two environmental-services groups moved in the same week: Veolia, the water, waste and energy company, opened a centre in Hyderabad, and Clean Harbors, the hazardous-waste and industrial services firm, expanded its India GCC in Pune.

All posts →Frequently asked questions
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.
