67% of Fortune Global 30 now run strategic GCCs in India, says ANSR report
About 67 per cent of the Fortune Global 30 and over one-third of the entire Fortune Global 500 now run Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in India, said a newly released report. The report, developed by ANSR in collaboration with UnearthInsight, examines the operating models, talent trends, and innovation maturity across 174 Fortune 500 companies that have established over 390 centres across India. These centres now employ over 950,000 professionals, with a growing share of global functional leadership based in India. 'These centres have evolved into intelligent, AI-native hubs that are not only scaling innovation but redefining how global businesses operate. As digital twins of the headquarters, they are leading platform modernisation, creating IP, and driving real-time, enterprise-wide decisions,' said Vikram Ahuja, Co-Founder, ANSR, and Chief Executive Officer, 1Wrk. Ahuja further added that with the rise of agentic AI and hyperconnected ecosystems, GCCs in India are no longer back offices. They have become the command centres of tomorrow's global enterprise. The report also highlighted that Indian GCCs now house senior functional leaders with global P&L responsibilities. In many cases, they serve as global Centres of Excellence for AI, GenAI, cybersecurity, and product engineering. In terms of preferred cities, Bengaluru and Hyderabad dominate, with over 200 GCCs employing more than 560,000 professionals for Fortune 500 enterprises. The report further noted that the next phase of GCC evolution is marked by intelligent, autonomous operations and deep integration into enterprise strategy, leveraging India's ecosystem to accelerate time-to-value. In terms of sectors, BFSI (21 per cent), Retail/CPG (14 per cent), Healthcare (12 per cent), and Automotive (11 per cent) lead in GCC adoption, reflecting India's ability to support both tech- and domain-intensive operations. Women now account for 30–32 per cent of the workforce in Fortune 500 GCCs in India, with active efforts to build inclusive leadership pipelines. As global enterprises prepare for a future defined by AI, digital resilience, and distributed leadership, India's role as the headquarters for global work continues to deepen, said the report. The Fortune Global 500 GCCs in India Landscape Report 2025 underscores not just the scale, but the strategic significance of India's GCC ecosystem, positioning it as a cornerstone for innovation, growth, and enterprise transformation in the years to come.

Hyderabad, July 12 (UNI) ANSR, a global market leader in setting up Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and operating centres, on Saturday said it is planning to set up 200 new GCCs in the next 5 years globally. Of the 200 new centres, 80 percent of them will be within India, and 20 percent will be in Eastern Europe and in Latin America and Philippines, said the company Founder and CEO Lalit Ahuja. We inaugurated our new office at Hitech City in Hyderabad on Friday, he said. Currently, we have set up 170 GCCs with Rs 20,000 crore investments in different parts of the country and almost close to 2 lakh employees who work for these 170 different centres. In the next five years we'll see more emerging tier two cities that will start picking up, he said. The newly inaugurated Hyderabad centre capacity is 2,000. We're also one of the largest infrastructure companies in India, because every time a GCC comes in, they need office space. He said that we have almost 12 million square feet of space that we manage for these companies in setting up these centres. Our primary business is helping large global multinationals to set up their centres in locations like India, where we have set up centres in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, and NCR area. He said that we are also actively growing in Chennai (Tamil Nadu), where we are going to set up a GCC with Rs 50 crore-odd investments with a private partnership, and also Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh. The Chennai GCC is also beginning with the fourth quarter of 2025, he said. We recently announced a partnership with the Andhra Pradesh government to set up GCC innovation campus in the Madhurawada IT cluster in Visakhapatnam, and it is actually the first time this centre has been developed under Public Private Partnership (PPP), he said the centre will come up next year and is expected to generate over 10,000 jobs over the next five years. Without disclosing investments in Vizag GCC centre, he said the Vizag innovation campus will become a preferred destination for leading global enterprises, he informed. We are also looking to spread our footprint in other states in India – Odisia, Gujara, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, he said. We are adding a new center every 4-5 months because there is so much global demand. We are the largest in the business; he said that we grew at about 40 per cent every year against 25-26 per cent growth in 10 years back. We are trying to spend Rs 3,000- Rs 4,000 crore and we totally hire about 12,000 a year in the country and Hyderabad about 5,000. UNI KNR ARN
