India’s BFSI Edge: Next-Gen GCCs for UK & Swiss Bank

In the new world of digital banking, global financial institutions are under heavy pressure to enhance innovation to reduce costs and to follow the rules of the UK and Switzerland. This change is not just operational; It is also strategic. To amidst this change, India’s Global Capability Centre (GCC) has evolved into strategic centers that strengthen this reconstruction.

Today, more than 45% of global banking and insurance companies operate advanced GCCs from India. According to a 2024 report, India has added over 160 new BFSI-centric GCCs in the last three years, leading to an increase of 23% in the financial GCC.

What is the reason for this change? A rare combination of digital capacity, depth of the financial sector, and economic benefits:

India’s BFSI technical workforce is more than 21 lakhs, which provides talent at 30–40% lower cost than Western Europe.
The Indian GCC market crossed $46 billion in FY 2024, with BFSI’s contribution at 38%.
The average British bank saves $65-80 million annually by transferring its main platform to India-based GCC.

This is no longer about the back-office support—it is a strategic commercial reconstruction led by GCC 3.0.
