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.
