India GCC ecosystem growth

Entities: Zinnov · NASSCOM · Palo Alto Networks · Arctic Wolf · India

Overview

In early July, Japan was reported as the leading foreign contributor to India's global capability centre (GCC) ecosystem in the Asia‑Pacific region. By the end of the month, the scale of India's GCC sector was detailed: the number of cybersecurity‑focused GCCs rose from roughly 30 to 59 over six years, while the overall GCC network reached 2,117 centres employing about 2.36 million workers and generating an estimated $98.4 billion in FY 2026 revenue. The rapid expansion, driven largely by U.S. firms, has also raised concerns about engineering quality, with firms citing junior staff on senior projects, compressed design cycles, higher defect rates, and annual attrition of 12‑15 percent. Some companies are adopting “no‑bench” hiring policies to preserve technical expertise and improve retention.
