Establishing Global Capability Centers (GCCs) in India in 2025: A Strategic Roadmap for Global Businesses

Estimated to be worth over USD 110 billion by 2030, India has cemented its position as a global hub for Global Capability Centers (GCCs), offering businesses a strategic advantage in innovation, technology, and cost efficiency. With over 70% of Fortune 500 companies operating GCCs in India, the country continues to attract global enterprises looking to establish offshore centers for R&D, analytics, AI, financial services, and technology development. 

Recent policy reforms, budget incentives, and state-led GCC initiatives have further enhanced India's appeal. The rise of Tier-II cities, advancements in AI and automation, and access to a large, highly skilled workforce make India a prime destination for companies seeking operational excellence and digital transformation. However, establishing and scaling a successful GCC requires an in-depth understanding of regulatory frameworks, talent strategies, and investment structures. 

On April 23, Naina Bhardwaj, Manager – International Business Advisory shared valuable insights for investors looking to navigate India’s GCC landscape, ensure regulatory compliance, and optimize investment strategies.
