US-based cloud-based software provider Workday is setting up a Global Capability Center (GCC) in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, with a significant investment of around Rs 220 crores.
This strategic hub for product and technology development will support Workday’s global operations, focusing on next-generation Artificial Intelligence technologies, and create up to 3,000 jobs, said a social media post put out by Tamil Nadu’s Industries Minister TRB Rajaa on April 28.
The company signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Guidance TN, the state’s investment promotion agency, marking a significant step in establishing its presence in the region. This move underscores the growing appeal of Tamil Nadu as a hub for GCCs, with over 250 centres already operational in the state.
Workday’s GCC in Chennai will leverage India’s vast talent pool and cost-effective business environment, allowing the company to drive innovation and operational efficiency. The centre will focus on developing cutting-edge AI technologies, further solidifying India’s position as a leader in the global GCC landscape.
Workday’s decision to establish a GCC in Chennai is a testament to the state’s attractive business environment and talent pool. With over 1,700 GCCs already operational in India, the country is poised to become an even more prominent hub for global companies.
Workday’s recent financial performance, with revenues of $8.44 billion for the fiscal 2025 fourth quarter and full year, also highlights the company’s growth trajectory.
