India Global Capability Center ecosystem evolution

Overview

India’s Global Capability Center (GCC) ecosystem is transitioning from traditional cost-arbitrage models toward high-maturity centers focused on strategic innovation, product ownership, and enterprise intelligence.

Industry recognition, such as the Zinnov Awards 2026, has highlighted the sector’s evolution toward ‘Winning the AI Race.’ Reports indicate that over 1,200 India-based GCCs now possess AI/ML capabilities, supported by more than 250,000 professionals. Notably, 49% of GCCs established after FY2021 were designed as AI-first entities from their inception.

This shift is further evidenced by the upcoming ET Edge GCC Summit 2026 in Hyderabad and industry assessments, such as Everest Group’s 2026 PEAK Matrix, which identify a growing demand for specialized partners to help enterprises scale these centers through consulting and talent solutions.
