The GCC Revolution: India at the Helm

India has firmly established itself as the global leader in the rapidly growing GCC (Global Capability Centers) ecosystem. Currently, the country is home to over 1,700 GCCs, which employ nearly 1.9 million professionals and contribute an impressive $64.6 billion in revenue to the economy. This dynamic sector is on a fast track to surpass $105 billion by 2030, with projections indicating that over 2,400 GCCs will be operational across the country. India’s strategic positioning as the nucleus of this transformation underscores its pivotal role in shaping the future of global business services.

At the Heart of Hyderabad: The Next GCC Chapter

The ET Edge GCC Summit has long served as the definitive compass guiding the evolution of India’s Global Capability Centers (GCCs). Across editions in Delhi, Pune, and Bangalore, and with a strong legacy in Hyderabad, we have consistently shaped industry narratives, sparked strategic dialogue, and enabled meaningful cross-sector collaborations.

We are now proud to announce the highly anticipated 9th Edition of the ET Edge GCC Summit in Hyderabad. This is not just another milestone, but a decisive convergence in one of India’s fastest growing innovation hubs.

Hyderabad, here’s why:

At the center of this growth surge is Hyderabad, a city that has rapidly emerged as one of India’s most advanced capability ecosystems with:

More than 300,000 professionals employed in the GCC sector, contributing to nearly 15 percent of India’s total GCC talent base (NASSCOM Hyderabad Ecosystem Report, 2024)

A record-breaking 13.1 million square feet of office space leased in 2024 (JLL India, Q1 2025 Real Estate Market Outlook)

A 17 percent share of leasing among India’s top cities, marking a 52 percent year-on-year growth (CBRE India – Office Leasing Trends 2024)

GCCs accounting for 41 percent of total leasing in Q1 2025 alone (1.6 million square feet) (Colliers India – Quarterly Market Insights, 2025)

& by 2030, the GCC sector is projected to scale to $105 billion, with more than 2,400 centers employing over 2.8 million people. (Zinnov-NASSCOM GCC India Landscape 2023)
