Bengaluru remains the dominant hub for GCCs, with 285 Global 2000 companies employing over 560,000 professionals. The city accounts for 62% of the total space leased by GCCs in India, underpinned by its talent pool and advanced infrastructure. Hyderabad follows as a significant center, hosting 110 companies with over 190,000 employees. Emerging locations such as Ahmedabad, Vizag, Trivandrum, Kolkata, Bhubaneshwar, and Coimbatore are gaining traction, offering lower costs and access to untapped talent pools.
Approximately 256 of India's GCCs are North American in origin, with the majority headquartered in the United States. Additionally, 125 GCCs come from Europe, further underscoring India's role as a hub for international enterprises. The BFSI sector leads GCC operations in India, followed by Manufacturing and Retail/CPG. Digital transformation remains a core focus, with 85% of GCCs engaged in digital commerce and 90% of new centers prioritizing AI/ML and data analytics. Non-tech functions like Finance & Accounting and Human Resource Management, traditionally introduced later, are now being integrated from the outset.
Over the past five years, 110 new companies have established GCCs in India, marking a 32% increase since 2019. Multi-center operations are on the rise, with 45% of companies expanding to multiple cities. The competition for talent has intensified, prompting GCCs to enhance their work cultures and employee value propositions. Cybersecurity and cloud capabilities are also gaining attention, supported by service providers like Infosys, TCS, and Wipro.
In Q3 2024, GCCs leased over 8.2 million square feet of office space, representing 44% of total office leasing in India. BFSI accounted for 58% of this activity, followed by Retail/CPG at 19% and Healthcare at 11%. Companies such as Walmart, Sanofi, NatWest Group, Flutter Entertainment, and Delta are key players driving this expansion.
India's GCCs are evolving beyond operational support, taking on global leadership roles and business accountability. Collaborative ecosystems and strategic partnerships are fostering innovation, positioning GCCs as integral contributors to global decision-making and long-term success.
