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

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. Keep an eye on this space for more updates. 📰 Lalitha Indrakanti | Sirisha Voruganti | Uma Ratnam Krishnan | Mamatha Madireddy | Veda Persad | Kalavathi G V | Oindrila Majumdar | Anuprita Bhattacharya | Mohua Sengupta | Snigdha Ghosh Ray | Prashanti Bodugum | Eva James | Sreema Nallasivam | Sheenam Ohrie Shilpa Phadnis | Nitika Goel (She/Her) | Goyal Amita | Namita Adavi | Shweta Rani (She/Her) | Chaitra R. | Richa Kejriwal | Janice Vaz #womaninleadership #zinnovglobalroles #globalroles

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.

How can #CHROs retain top #talent while protecting the bottom line in 2024? With Gen Z prioritizing meaningful work and work-life balance, and millennials now making up 78% of managers, the talent landscape is rapidly evolving. #AI specialists are now at the forefront of in-demand tech skills, and long-term incentives (LTIs), like Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), Employee Stock Option Plans (ESOPs), and Employee Stock Purchase Plans (ESPPs), are reshaping compensation strategies. Zinnov's 17th annual GCC Compensation Benchmarking Study provides the critical insights needed to navigate these trends.

Siloed thinking limits innovation, while success requires bridging diverse worlds. This new landscape demands a new breed of GCC leader: Systems Leaders. Systems Leaders thrive at intersections. They seamlessly connect physical and digital realms, engineering and customer needs, and onsite and offshore dynamics. These leaders don't just understand technology or business—they master both. As GCCs evolve from support centers to innovation hubs, leadership must follow suit. Is your GCC ready for this paradigm shift?

The event highlighted new tools and methods for transforming operations, with discussions on effective change management for implementing initiatives. Our panels also covered how leaders are adapting their teams to streamline operations, drive sustainable growth and productivity. Key insights from our latest whitepaper on the subject were shared in the leadership forum, which you can download here: https://bit.ly/4eH9lXe. Key Takeaways from across our sessions included: ◾ Productivity Beyond Numbers: Companies are shifting from output increases to focus on value creation, quality, and aligning productivity metrics with business goals. ◾ Generative AI and Automation: The integration of Generative AI and automation in operations is seen as a major driver for productivity gains. Companies like Walmart are already using these technologies to optimize processes and reduce time spent on maintenance tasks. ◾ Upskilling for the Future: GCCs are heavily investing in upskilling and reskilling teams, focusing on AI and digital transformation to sustain long-term productivity improvements. ◾ Change Management: Effective implementation of productivity tools depends on strong change management, gaining employee buy-in, and using a supportive approach to performance measurement. ◾ Collaboration Across Teams: Involving diverse stakeholders, including product, design, engineering, and business teams, in the planning and execution of productivity initiatives leads to better outcomes and more innovative solutions.
