Mid-sized companies are increasingly establishing Global Capability Centres (GCCs), marking a shift from their traditional dominance by large multinational corporations. According to Alouk Kumar of Inductus Group, private equity-backed firms are leading this trend by relocating core functions such as engineering, data science and product development to offshore centres. The transition reflects a move from cost arbitrage to value creation, with GCCs enabling faster innovation cycles and improved EBITDA margins.

The rise of GCC as a Service and modular infrastructure is further lowering entry barriers for mid-market firms to establish global operations.Read more
