SheLeadsGCC: Emerging Network of Women Innovators in Global Capability Centres

On the other side of the floor is long-time programme director Lakshmi, who is on a complex cross-functional project, and the teams are spread in three locations in the world. The real critical issue lies with respect to data integration policies. Using her ability to read between the lines of cultural differences and her sensitivity to meaningful leadership, Lakshmi has a virtual thing known as an innovation huddle, where different minds can enter and their voices unite in achieving a single solution. This is a demonstration of how important senior women leaders are in achieving synergistic cooperation in multinational GCC organisations.

In the case of Ananya, a young software engineer who joined a GCC recently and will serve as a growth experience supported by the network called the SheLeadsGCC. This approach exhibits a networked roundedness, as after attending a webinar where a senior woman executive discussed her experience in patent filing, an area of interest that Ananya has, she identifies and finds a mentor within the network. The exchange of this interaction is invaluable, and it is illustrative of the network as the agent of professional growth and the opening of new horizons to women who aspire to be innovators in this world.

As a way to empower women innovators more, “SheLeadsGCC” promotes the practical and resource-oriented approach, going beyond the traditional career advice.

The aim of SheLeadsGCC is to see a future where the role of women ceases to be a side note in the history of the GCC success story in India but instead has become part and parcel of that success story. Our firm belief is that we must alter the design of success metrics to essentially include the development of innovative cultures, the creation of ecosystems of collaboration, and the empowerment of talent through proactive means, especially among women.

It can only be a welcome to all women in Indian GCCs to come onto this vibrant network to share, to share their point of view, and together build the future of this very essential industry. The evidence has existed that companies led by diverse leadership are more likely to be profitable. Our efforts in the enhancement of the female leadership of the future in GCCs not only lead to gender equity but also work directly towards India maintaining the post of economic ascendancy within the global arena. It is time that women take over and lead and innovate in Global Capability Centres within India.

The fate of the Indian Global Capability Centres would be unattainable without mentioning the tales of its women inventors. Now that this industry is growing, it is through the strategic development of diverse and inclusive leadership that will epitomise its new era of growth.

Inductus GCC focuses on encouraging women to work in the Global Capability Centre (GCC) industry and takes steps to make women more involved in this sphere. The company is following through on this commitment with the realisation that gender diversity is not just an equity issue but also an excellent business enabler for innovation. 

The foundational support under which this growth is made possible is found in Inductus GCC. Recent statistics indicate that the proportion of women in Indian GCCs has been on the rise continuously, and women are currently holding more than 35 percent of the numbers in the workforce. A vast majority of GCCs expect to see more than a 50 percent rise in the number of women employed by 2030 with cities in India such as Delhi/NCR being on the front line. Inductus also goes out in contributing to this trend by availing services that aid companies in attracting, retaining, and promoting diverse talent.

This commitment is reflected in the manner in which they facilitate essential elements in the GCC ecosystem:

• Facilitating Innovation and Leadership: Inductus GCC offers the latest infrastructures and strategic advisories, which will develop the environment in which women excel. GCCs supported by them overcome their legacy roles and become R&D, AI, and cybersecurity centers where women become leaders in larger numbers.
• Generating Inclusion in the Workplace: Inductus enables companies to generate an inclusion culture in the workplace. They help establish a flexible working agenda, a skill development programme, and a clear career advancement ladder, which are essential in attracting and retaining the women in the labour market.

Inductus GCC acknowledges the importance of the network in developing a new generation of women leadership. Empowering this community, Inductus will build a cycle of talent and inspiration in which older women teach younger women, and thus, they enhance the advances in this sector.

In case your organisation is dedicated to improving the female employees in your GCC workforce and allowing them to drive change through innovation, then you require a faithful partner that has a history of success. Inductus GCC provides its services capable of assisting in designing and effectively running diversity and inclusion programs. Whether preparing specific skill-based roadmaps or developing strategic approaches to making your culture more inclusive, Inductus has the capabilities to make your GCC not only operationally efficient but also a real leader in gender diversity.
