  • Building Your Global Advantage - The Rise of GCC's
    Sep 26 2025

    The global business landscape is witnessing a revolutionary shift as UK firms increasingly establish their own Global Capability Centers (GCCs) in India. This strategic move transcends traditional outsourcing models, creating fully-owned innovation hubs that align perfectly with parent company culture while leveraging India's exceptional talent pool.

    As Arun Mehra, CEO of Samara Global, explains in this eye-opening discussion, GCCs have evolved dramatically from mere back-office operations to comprehensive capability centers developing cutting-edge technology and AI-powered solutions. With over 1,700 active GCCs generating $64 billion annually and employing 1.9 million professionals, India has emerged as the premier destination for companies seeking global competitive advantage.

    What makes this trend particularly exciting is how it's democratizing global operations. While GCCs were traditionally the domain of multinational giants like Rolls-Royce or Google, they're increasingly accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises. The webinar reveals how a typical GCC setup takes just 90 days with the right expertise, offering complete control over operations, culture, and innovation that outsourcing simply cannot match.

    The discussion explores fascinating developments in the GCC landscape, including the rising popularity of tier-two cities like Coimbatore, which offer lower costs, reduced attrition, and abundant talent. You'll discover why companies across diverse sectors—from healthcare to automotive to technology—are establishing specialized centers focused on AI, software development, and engineering design.

    Whether you're considering global expansion or simply curious about this transformative business model, this conversation provides invaluable insights into how GCCs are reshaping the future of work.
