Zinnov Awards 2025: Celebrating India's Global Capability Centers Redefining Value Creation on a Global Scale
20 trailblazing organizations and leaders honored for scaling innovation, talent, and impact from India to the world BENGALURU, India, July 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As the global enterprise landscape undergoes seismic transformation, the 16th edition of the Zinnov Awards 2025 celebrated the organizations and individuals shaping this change from the frontlines — India's Global Capability Centers (GCCs). Now in its 16th year, the Zinnov Awards have become the benchmark of excellence in the GCC ecosystem, spotlighting companies and leaders who are driving tangible global impact. This year's edition saw over 500 nominations from 230 companies, spanning the Technology, Healthcare, BFSI, Automotive, and Retail sectors. Following a rigorous, multi-stage evaluation process, 22 winners across 10 categories were chosen by a distinguished jury of global business and technology leaders. With over 2,975 GCC units and India contributing USD 65 billion in annual revenues, many of these centers have evolved from support units to fully integrated strategic centers — owning product charters, building enterprise-grade AI, and creating future-ready talent ecosystems. "Global Capability Centers are no longer satellites — they're the core of enterprise transformation. What we're seeing now is not evolution, but reinvention — GCCs owning end-to-end charters, influencing global decisions, and delivering outcomes that are directly aligned to the CEOs priorities. In this new era of AI, GCCs are not just adopting technology but owning outcomes, and architecting AI at scale. The 2025 Zinnov Award winners are proof that enterprise value today lies not at headquarters, but where capabilities and impact converge," said Nitika Goel, Managing Partner and Chief Marketing Officer, Zinnov. The 2025 edition also introduced new categories such as Excellence in Talent Development & Employee Engagement, High-Impact Global Roles, and Titans in Tech — reflecting the expanding ambition and influence of the India GCC ecosystem. "These winners exemplify the convergence of talent, technology, and trust," Goel added. "Their stories signal a clear message: that India is evolving into becoming the brain trust of the modern enterprise."

John Lewis retail media unit lets brands run campaigns beyond its own websites
Partner brands linked to the John Lewis Partnership (JLP) can now run advertising campaigns beyond the retail giant's websites, including streaming services and consumer sites. Following the launch of its onsite retail media platform across its own website in 2023, JLP has now partnered with global data and technology firm Epsilon to extend its offsite capabilities. It said the move allows partner brands to activate video and display ads across connected TV platforms and external digital channels, powered by first-party data. By leveraging first-party loyalty data and the Epsilon Retail Media platform, advertisers can 'accurately reach customers across multiple devices and channels, not just when shopping on John Lewis or Waitrose websites'. The offsite service will initially launch as a managed offer, with a dedicated team handling campaign execution from briefing to measurement. TJLP also plans to introduce a self-service platform to give brands more control over campaign activation and optimisation. Research from Epsilon shows that only 10-20% of consumers organically visit a retailer's site, yet just 37% of retailers currently offer offsite advertising capabilities. JLP retail media lead Jemma Haley said: 'This move is a big step forward in creating an insight-led retail media offer that spans both grocery and non-grocery. 'It helps us build a detailed understanding of audiences across vastly different purchase journeys, from immediate necessities to more considered items. This will enable our brand partners to target smarter audiences powered by first-party data, helping our customers discover more relevant and tailored brands.' Epsilon president of global and mid-market expansion Tim Frankcom, added: 'It's all too easy to rely on retail media partners that lean heavily on third-party data, but this can result in fragmented targeting and a disjointed customer experience. The John Lewis Partnership is invested in taking a different approach, giving brands access to real identity, not guesswork, and campaigns that truly reflect the customer.'

Japan launches final H-2A rocket with greenhouse gas monitoring satellite
Sunday's launch marked the 50th and final flight for the H-2A, which has served as Japan's mainstay rocket to carry satellites and probes into space with near-perfect record since its 2001 debut. After its retirement, it will be fully replaced by the H3, which is already in operation, as Japan's new main flagship read more On Sunday, Japan launched a satellite to measure greenhouse gas emissions using its primary H-2A rocket, which is being replaced by a new flagship meant to be more cost competitive in the global space market. The H-2A rocket launched from the Tanegashima Space Centre in southern Japan, carrying the GOSAT-GW satellite as part of Tokyo's efforts to combat climate change. Later on Sunday, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which manages the rocket launch, will conduct a press conference to provide further information about the trip. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Sunday's launch marked the 50th and final flight for the H-2A, which has served as Japan's mainstay rocket to carry satellites and probes into space with near-perfect record since its 2001 debut. After its retirement, it will be fully replaced by the H3, which is already in operation, as Japan's new main flagship. The launch follows several days of delay due to malfunctioning in the rocket's electrical systems. The GOSAT-GW, or Global Observing SATellite for Greenhouse gases and Water cycle, is a third series in the mission to monitor carbon, methane and other greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. Japan sees a stable, commercially competitive space transport capability as key to its space program and national security, and has been developing two new flagship rockets as successors of the H-2A series — the larger H3 with Mitsubishi, and a much smaller Epsilon system with the aerospace unit of the heavy machinery maker IHI. It hopes to cater to diverse customer needs and improve its position in the growing satellite launch market.
