Episode 8: GCCs behind UP’s $1T Bet & National Boom

Once quiet outposts of outsourced support, Global Capability Centres (GCCs) have become the braintrusts of global corporations—driving enterprise innovation, job creation, and high-value investments across sectors like BFSI, engineering, and healthcare. With enabling policies, deep talent pools, and cost-efficient scale, India is fast becoming the preferred destination for global firms to centralize operations. From payroll subsidies to AI-led innovation hubs, the GCC momentum is reshaping India’s economic future. In India, they are no longer confined to the traditional metropolitan hubs. From Uttar Pradesh’s $1 trillion GDP push to a nationwide surge in high-value employment and commercial real estate, GCCs are quietly redrawing the economic map. As boardrooms bet big on India’s talent, GCCs stand at the intersection of geopolitics, growth, and global rebalancing.
