GCCs in India: Future of Global Value Chains

The Global Capability Centres (GCCs) change the method of management of global operations, supply chains, and innovation ecosystems of multinational companies. Once seen as back-office units, GCCs have developed as strategic control centers in India that affect the production, distribution, and innovation of businesses in global markets.

In the last two decades, GCC has quietly redefined global trade by centralising commercial operations, controlling supply chains, and furthering digital changes from cost-skilled centres like India. Today, they are changing economic power corridors by broadcasting high-value works in the metros and emerging Tier-II cities.

As the global value chains are becoming more complex and sensitive to disruption, GCC in India will continue to shape outsourcing and global business by acting as intelligent, flexible control centers that strengthen trade continuity and development worldwide.

India already operates more than 1,900 GCCs, and by 2030, an 8–10% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is estimated. India is at the centre of this change.

From Operational Units to Strategic Command Hubs

Modern GCCs act as strategic business units, which manage important areas such as supply chain flexibility, purchase adaptation, real-time analysis, research and development, and AI-operated customer aids. These companies are able to work fast, reduce costs, and promote innovations globally; all these tasks are managed from centers in India.
