Top US Companies That Successfully Expanded to India via GCCs

India’s Global Capability Centers (GCCs) have evolved through the past two decades from being small support centers to innovative strategic giants. India currently includes more than 1,800 GCCs, hires approximately 2 million professionals, and generates about US $64.6 billion in revenue, a rise of forty percent in only the past twelve months. GCC Consulting is currently projected to expand at a significantly faster scale; by 2030, the global market is projected to reach 2,400 GCC countries and be worth US$110 billion. India has further strengthened its place as the global GCC capital, with 65% of GCCs being managed by US-based companies. Leading US multinational companies, which range from financial institutions to tech giants, have capitalized on India’s powerful digital infrastructure, cost-effective ecosystem, and enormous STEM talent pool to expand their worldwide influence.

US business expansion includes handling the back-end operations; offices in different cities additionally assist with technology, R&D, innovation in artificial intelligence, and product development for parent organizations throughout the entire globe.
