India is fast becoming the epicenter for global leadership. Global Capability Centers (GCCs) across India have seen a staggering 120X rise in global roles over the past decade. The country now boasts over 5,000 such senior positions steering decision making for their Global HQs. “This transformation is due to the maturing capabilities of India’s centers of excellence and how technology has enabled deeper data-driven customer insights,” notes Pari Natarajan CEO of Zinnov in today's The Times Of India feature. Key to this seismic shift is a rich talent pool of digital, engineering, and leadership skills. As global companies concentrate more critical responsibilities in India across R&D, services, and customer-facing functions, they are also elevating leaders in the country to drive organization-wide strategy. We believe that India is aggressively staking its claim as a global hub for innovation, talent, and leadership. We expect the rise to continue as India cements its status as the epicenter of global leadership. Sujit John | Sarv Saravanan | Chitra Sukumar | Vishal Bhasin #India #GCC #Leadership #talent

Indian GCCs have reached a tipping point. What began as back-office operations has now evolved into a driving force behind global strategy, innovation, and decision-making. Our latest Zinnov-nasscom report reveals a striking transformation: 53% of India's GCCs now operate as Portfolio and Transformation Hubs. This shift is driven by the Trust Dividend—India’s unique combination of talent expertise and strong government support. With projections indicating growth to reach USD 99-105 Bn by 2030, the question isn’t whether to participate in this transformation, but how to lead it. Is your #GCC positioned to capitalize on this shift?

Women in India’s Global Capability Centers (#GCCs) are stepping into Global Roles predominantly held by men, inspiring a new generation of leaders. As more women raise their hands to lead, they’re driving a flywheel effect that’s reshaping leadership worldwide. “Women in GCCs are no longer confined to traditional roles—they’re leading critical functions like engineering, finance, and innovation on a global scale,” says Karthik Padmanabhan, Managing Partner at Zinnov, in a recent The Times Of India feature. “This metamorphosis in their roles will have a lasting impact on the future of women in technology and leadership.” Zinnov is closely watching this rise in Global Roles, with women leaders growing from just over 300 in 2019 to more than 1,100 today. By 2030, over 7,500 women are estimated to lead global initiatives, driven by their capabilities, with gender being incidental. This is only the beginning.

At our recent #CXO forums in Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Pune, we brought together industry leaders and veterans to tackle one critical question: How do we quantify the real value delivered by #GCCs? While the ecosystem has made great strides, the measurement of ‘value’ remains elusive. Key insights from the forums: ▪️ Global roles are now seen as a critical proxy to measure GCC maturity and the value delivered. ▪️ Moving away from traditional input metrics like lines of code and screen time. The focus is now on measuring business value, such as customer impact and speed-to-market. ▪️ Top priorities for GCC leaders moving forward: 👉Establishing the right GCC scorecard to reflect business outcomes. 👉Structuring organizations to drive growth and agility. 👉Leveraging Generative AI to improve productivity, with a focus on customer experience and innovation. A big thank you to all attendees for driving these critical conversations. Together, we are shaping a new productivity paradigm for GCCs.
