How GCCs in India are Transforming Talent Acquisition to Drive Global Innovation
Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in India are evolving rapidly, becoming a hotbed for advanced leadership roles and innovation in multinational corporations. As these centres rise up the value chain, they are casting a wider net for talent, actively hiring from IT product companies, the Big Four consultancies, startups, and large conglomerates. This shift indicates the GCCs’ strategic intent to establish India as a powerhouse for leadership, enabling significant roles to be based locally and empowering teams to innovate and develop products for global markets. These talent-sourcing strategies not only elevate the capabilities of GCCs but also boost India’s position in the global tech and business landscape. By investing in diverse skill sets and cross-industry expertise, GCCs are crafting an ecosystem where innovation thrives and global standards are met from within India. Experts say many multinational companies are now aiming to build elite teams in India as GCCs evolve from primarily operational hubs to key drivers of market expansion and business growth. Historically, Indian GCCs hired mainly from tech services firms, but the focus has shifted from simple cost savings to strategically harnessing top talent.
