The Department of Science and Technology, Government of Gujarat, has signed a memorandum of understanding with Inductus Group to promote the state as a destination for Global Capability Centres (GCCs). The agreement, formalised in the past week, aims to strengthen Gujarat's positioning in the global technology and innovation ecosystem by leveraging its infrastructure, policy framework and talent base. Under the collaboration, Inductus Group will provide advisory services including location strategy, investment facilitation and GCC enablement. The move comes amid increasing interest from multinational firms in emerging Indian cities beyond traditional metros. The initiative is expected to support the development of IT-led commercial ecosystems, enhance investment inflows and facilitate the establishment of technology-driven business operations within the state.

The agreement establishes a framework for collaboration focused on attracting multinational enterprises to set up and scale GCC operations within the state. The partnership is intended to leverage Gujarat's existing industrial base, infrastructure readiness and policy environment to support the development of IT and innovation-driven commercial hubs.
Under the terms of the MoU, Inductus Group will provide expertise in areas such as GCC advisory, IT consulting, location strategy and investment facilitation. The company is expected to support enterprises in evaluating Gujarat as a potential destination for setting up capability centres, while also assisting in execution and scaling of operations.
Officials indicated that the collaboration is aligned with broader national trends, where India continues to strengthen its position as a global hub for GCCs. Increasingly, companies are exploring locations beyond established metropolitan centres to access cost efficiencies, skilled workforce availability and scalable infrastructure.
The Gujarat government has been focusing on enhancing its competitiveness as an investment destination through policy stability, ease of doing business and infrastructure development. The state's emphasis on innovation-led sectors and industrial growth has been identified as a key factor supporting its positioning in the GCC landscape.
Industry stakeholders noted that the role of GCCs has evolved from cost-driven support functions to strategic centres handling digital transformation, research and development, and enterprise innovation. This shift is driving demand for locations capable of supporting advanced technology operations and long-term business expansion.
The partnership also addresses the growing interest from mid-sized global enterprises in adopting the GCC model. These organisations often require structured support in terms of regulatory navigation, ecosystem integration and operational setup, areas where joint initiatives between government bodies and advisory firms play a critical role.
The founder and chief executive of Inductus Group indicated that the collaboration reflects a shared objective of enabling the next phase of GCC growth in India. He stated that Gujarat offers a combination of infrastructure readiness, policy support and talent availability, making it suitable for global organisations seeking to establish such centres.
The initiative is expected to contribute to the development of commercial real estate demand, particularly in office and technology park segments, as GCCs typically require large-scale, high-quality workspace environments. It also aligns with broader efforts to create integrated business ecosystems combining infrastructure, talent and regulatory support.
The agreement reflects increasing coordination between state governments and private sector advisory firms to attract global investments and support the expansion of technology-led business operations in emerging markets.
