India sees growth in mid-market GCCs
BENGALURU: India is experiencing an uptick in mid-market
global capability centres
(GCCs). The country witnessed over 140 greenfield GCCs come up during the past 30 months, according to data from HR consultancy firm Xpheno's research.
These GCCs initially planned for 70,000 positions, with individual centres targeting between 50 to 3,000 roles.
A recent
Nasscom-Zinnov report
showed that India has over 480
mid-market GCCs
, with 210,000 professionals employed. Mid-market GCCs are capability centres set up by mid-sized firms with annual revenue ranging from $100 million to $1 billion. They represent 27% of all GCCs and 22% of total GCC units in the country. In the last five years alone, more than 110 new facilities were established, representing approximately 35% of all
new GCC units
in India within this period.
480+ centres, 2.1 lakh employed
This contrasts with the larger GCCs in terms of operational scale but not in the ability to deliver high-quality services and innovation.
India will be home to over 120 new mid-market GCCs by 2026, according to research by Bengaluru and US-based ANSR. The majority of mid-tier GCCs in India originate from North America (60%). European nations contribute 25% of these centres, led by Germany, the UK, Ireland, Spain, and France.

The Asia-Pacific region, including Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Singapore, accounts for 10% of these establishments.
Some of the mid-market GCCs that entered India in the last 2-3 years include Revolut, Papa Johns, Raksul, and Outbrain, among others.
These centres are primarily situated in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune. Kedar Pathak, GCC talent specialist at Xpheno, said that tier-1 locations provide superior talent availability, varied skill sets, and facilities. Although tier-2 locations are preparing for future growth, they remain secondary choices for GCC establishments. Modern GCCs have evolved beyond technological hubs to encompass diverse business operations.

Uber puts robotaxi plan in top gear, joins hands with Lucid and Nuro; first vehicle to hit road in 2026. Details here
Uber Technologies on Thursday announced that it has tied up with electric vehicle maker Lucid Group and self-driving tech startup Nuro to launch robotaxis in 2026. The ride-sharing company or its third-party partners will buy and operate Lucid Gravity SUVs outfitted with Nuro Driver technology on its network. It aims to launch its first robotaxi in 2026 and plans to deploy at least 20,000 of the vehicles over the next six years. Uber also announced that it is making separate multi-hundred-million-dollar investments in both Lucid and Nuro. The funding will include $300 million for Lucid that will be used in part to upgrade its assembly line to integrate Nuro hardware into the Gravity vehicles. After the announcement, Lucid shares rallied 34 per cent, while Uber stock was little changed. Earlier this week, Uber had announced a tie-up with Chinese AV maker Baidu to deploy robotaxis in several non-US markets. Currently, autonomous rides are available through the Uber app in Phoenix, Austin, Atlanta and Abu Dhabi. Prototype robotaxis developed by Lucid and Nuro are already in operation on Nuro's Las Vegas closed-circuit testing grounds, reported Bloomberg. Marc Winterhoff, Lucid's interim CEO, said Uber chose its SUV because the company can integrate the necessary hardware at its factory. Nuro's software will be added once Uber receives the vehicles. 'This is a stepping stone on our journey to expand our tech leadership from electric vehicles and licensing into partnerships in other areas,' Winterhoff told Bloomberg this week. 'A lot can happen in six years. I really see this as the first starting point,' he added. Separately, Lucid said it is planning a 1-for-10 reverse stock split, subject to shareholder approval. The emerging autonomous taxi market is gaining momentum, with Google subsidiary Waymo currently holding the strongest position in the United States. Electric vehicle maker Tesla unveiled its first robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, in late June, though with limited scope and a very small fleet.

Markets end lower on selling in IT stocks, fresh foreign fund outflows
The 30-share BSE Sensex dropped 375.24 points or 0.45 per cent to settle at 82,259.24. During the day, it fell by 415.21 points or 0.50 per cent to 82,219.27 Press Trust of India Mumbai Benchmark stock indices Sensex and Nifty settled lower on Thursday following selling in information technology (IT) and banking shares and investors remaining in a wait-and-watch mode ahead of the outcome of the US-India trade talks. The 30-share BSE Sensex dropped 375.24 points or 0.45 per cent to settle at 82,259.24. During the day, it fell by 415.21 points or 0.50 per cent to 82,219.27. The 50-share NSE Nifty closed lower by 100.60 points or 0.40 per cent to 25,111.45. Fresh foreign fund outflows and subdued quarterly earnings dented investors' sentiment, experts said. Among Sensex firms, Tech Mahindra declined nearly 3 per cent after its June quarter earnings failed to cheer investors. IT services firm Tech Mahindra reported a nearly 34 per cent year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit to ₹1,140.6 crore for the quarter ending June 30, on the back of growth in communications and financial services verticals. Infosys, HCLTech, Eternal, Larsen & Toubro, Tata Consultancy Services, and Axis Bank were also among the laggards. However, Tata Steel, Trent, Titan and Tata Motors were among the gainers. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹1,858.15 crore on Wednesday, according to exchange data. "Indian equity benchmarks ended marginally lower as investors exercised caution amid subdued Q1 earnings announcements, particularly in the technology and banking sectors. Market participants remained sidelined due to elevated valuations of largecap stocks and FII outflows owing to the uncertainty regarding US-India trade deal; however, any positive developments could amplify market sentiment," Vinod Nair, head of research, Geojit Investments Limited, said. The BSE smallcap gauge climbed 0.30 per cent and midcap index went up by 0.07 per cent. Among BSE sectoral indices, BSE Focused IT tanked 1.47 per cent, followed by IT (1.33 per cent), tech (1.06 per cent), bankex (0.51 per cent) and, utilities (0.25 per cent). Realty jumped 1.22 per cent, metal climbed 0.62 per cent, commodities (0.42 per cent), healthcare (0.28 per cent) and, consumer discretionary (0.25 per cent). 'Markets largely remained in the negative zone amid uncertainty over the impending announcement of the India-US tariff outcome, as investors resorted to selling in banking, IT and oil & gas shares that led the downfall in key benchmarks. Once the deal is announced and if it suits the interests of both the countries, there will be a relief in the markets and we may see short-term spurt, else the sluggish to pessimist mood could continue. ,'Prashanth Tapse, senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd, said. In Asian markets, South Korea's Kospi, Japan's Nikkei 225 index and Shanghai's SSE Composite index settled in the positive territory while Hong Kong's Hang Seng ended lower. European markets were trading higher. The US markets ended higher on Wednesday. Global oil benchmark Brent crude dipped 0.06 per cent to USD 68.49 a barrel. On Wednesday, the Sensex edged up 63.57 points or 0.08 per cent to settle at 82,634.48. The Nifty ended 16.25 points or 0.06 per cent higher at 25,212.05.
