Global capability centres are dedicated units established by multinational companies to handle critical business operations.
The rapid expansion of global capability centres is driving strong growth in GCC hiring in India.
Once seen as support centres, GCCs now play an increasingly strategic role within many global enterprises, with major tech and business clusters thriving in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, Mumbai and the NCR. This momentum has already pushed GCC employment past 1.9 million professionals nationwide.
The growth is gaining further momentum. According to CBRE’s The Policy Advantage: Powering India’s GCC Growth Report, seven Indian states, including Karnataka, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Kerala, Haryana and Madhya Pradesh, have rolled out policies to attract and support new centres. Together, these states aim to add around 1,380 global capability centres and 1.18 million jobs by 2031, creating significant demand for talent.
India’s GCC growth is closely tied to the depth of its specialised talent pool.
The country produces over 2.5 million STEM graduates each year, creating a steady pipeline of professionals across AI, data science, software development, cybersecurity and engineering. Combined with established talent hubs such as Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune, this gives global capability centres greater flexibility to build and scale specialised teams.
India’s GCC expansion is rapidly moving beyond saturated metros, tapping into high-potential Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.
Locations such as Jaipur, Coimbatore, Visakhapatnam and Kochi are gaining attention, together supporting more than 82,000 professionals. Beyond widening access to talent, these locations can offer lower real estate costs, making GCC hiring in India resilient and cost-effective.
India’s time zone makes it easier for GCC teams to work alongside colleagues across Europe, Asia and North America.
With teams operating across different shifts, businesses can maintain workflows beyond traditional working hours, support international customers and keep critical processes moving. This near-round-the-clock coverage is particularly valuable for technology, finance and global operations.
