India’s global capability center (GCC) economy is entering a new and powerful phase. More than 1,900 GCCs are now active and are contributing to an annual price creation of $64.6 billion. India is no longer the center of offshore services; this enterprise is a global engine of innovation. The Indian GCC market is ready to grow at a CAGR of 11.4% and add more than 500 new centers by 2026. Meanwhile, India is saving 25–45% of the operational costs of global companies and is rapidly making digital changes through access to the world’s largest digitally skilled professionals (more than 5 million technical professionals).
Amidst this rapidly growing ecosystem, Inductus GCC is emerging as a strategic partner for global enterprises that are building and expanding their operations in India. With the heritage of helping top companies and fast-growing delivery hubs prepare for the future, Inductus provides the entire GCC life cycle services from entry to innovation.
With intensive expertise in Digital Twin models, AI compels, and global operating design, Inductus has enabled GCC to be not only efficient but also really strategic for global development in areas such as BFSI, Health Services, Manufacturing, Retail and Energy.
To help organisations choose the right strategy for India, Inductus offers a unique and modular set of operating models: BOT, COCO and COPO of the next generation—which are designed to match each enterprise’s maturity, ambition, and development.
Let us see what these models provide and how the COPO model is giving a new look to the future of GCC in India.
- BOT—The BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) model is a low-risk entry model for multinational companies setting up operations in India. The Inductus prepares the infrastructure of GCC, runs it with customised efficiency, and transfers ownership when stable.
- COCO – In the COCO (Company-Owned, Company-Operated Model) model, companies operate their Indian GCC, but depend on the inductus for consultation, compliance, and strategic operations.
- COPO – (Co-Innovation, Orchestration, Productization, Ownership) The most advanced COPO model of all three helps mature GCC develop as digital transformation centers. This is an innovation-first approach where the inductus helps align distribution with strategic global results.

With COPO, inductus enables organisations to provide co-consciousness, leadership, and value globally, making India the command center of the world’s digital venture.
