Positioned at the center of global enterprise operations, India has become one of the most preferred destinations for Global Capability Centers, serving as technology hubs and innovation labs for major multinational companies.
The country currently hosts over 1,800 GCCs. One source estimates that India accounts for nearly 42% of the global GCC market, while another places the figure at 17% of total GCCs worldwide. As of February 2026, the GCC segment in India has generated more than $70 billion in revenue and created employment for 1.9 million people. With more global corporations establishing operations in the country, the GCC ecosystem continues to expand at a rapid pace.
Future outlook for GCCs in India
Looking ahead, the sector is expected to grow further. By 2030, GCCs in India are projected to employ 2.8 million people and generate revenue of $105 billion. This growth trajectory makes the segment increasingly attractive for professionals exploring long-term opportunities in technology and business functions.
Policy support is also seen as a key enabler. The Union Budget referenced in the source, dated 2006, outlines proposals and incentives focused on skill development and regional expansion. These measures are expected to support future GCC growth and hiring across multiple locations.
As global companies deepen their presence and scale operations, India’s GCC sector is quickly shaping careers and contributing significantly to the broader economy.
