May 25: India’s Global Capability Centres (GCC) sector has emerged as a major driver of employment growth, adding around 1.7 million jobs amid rising demand for office infrastructure and expansion of multinational operations.
The sector’s rapid growth reflects the increasing presence of global firms establishing or scaling their offshore operations in India, particularly in areas such as technology, finance, analytics, and business support services.
Rising demand for office space in major cities highlights the sector’s expansion, with companies investing in larger, more advanced workplaces to support growing teams and digital operations. This trend has also boosted commercial real estate activity across key business hubs.
Industry experts say the GCC ecosystem is becoming a critical pillar of India’s services economy, supported by a skilled workforce, strong digital infrastructure, and cost advantages. The sector is expected to continue expanding as global companies deepen their reliance on India-based operations.
