Global Capability Centres (GCCs) are special hubs set up by multinational companies to manage critical business operations from India. Unlike traditional outsourcing, GCCs handle AI, analytics, cybersecurity, technology, finance, and product innovation, enabling India to drive global business decisions rather than just provide cost-efficient support.

GCCs have evolved from back-office units to strategic engines of growth.
