The MachineCon GCC Summit 2025 charts the future of GCCs with ethical AI, global collaboration, and strategic expansion into emerging markets

India hosts more than 1,600 GCCs, employing over 2 million professionals, with projections suggesting this number could exceed 2,000 by the fiscal year 2026-27.

On average, companies can save 30-70% in operational costs by establishing a GCC in locations like India, due to lower labor and infrastructure costs.

80% of GCCs are playing a critical role in their parent company's digital transformation initiatives, emphasizing the strategic importance of GCCs beyond cost savings.

Bengaluru is the leading city for GCCs in India, housing 47% of these centers. Delhi NCR and Mumbai follow with 16% and 13% respectively, while Pune, Chennai, and Hyderabad collectively account for 20%.
