Toyo Japan and MODEC open GCC centre in Bengaluru; to hire 750 employees
BENGALURU: Many multinational companies are now setting up Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in India and the recent one to join the list is Toyo Engineering Corporation (Toyo Japan) and MODEC. On Friday, they opened a GCC centre in Bengaluru.
The centre will focus on high-value services including Front-End Engineering Design (FEED), Procurement, and FPSO Project Support.
Officials said they are planning to increase the workforce from 200 professionals currently to 750 employees over the next three years.
Hirohiko Miyata, President and CEO, MODEC, said, "Establishing a GCC in Bengaluru enables us to deliver smarter, more efficient solutions at scale, aligned with the increasingly complex demands of global FPSO projects."
Nakane Tsutomu, Consul General of Japan in Bengaluru, said Bengaluru continues to be a strategic hub for Japanese GCCs, driven by its digital excellence and engineering talent.
With this GCC, the company aims to enhance operational agility and execution quality across global projects. Though GCCs are creating several job opportunities, attrition is also a growing concern currently.
Recently in its study, HR solutions provider CIEL HR revealed that 51% of GCCs in India cite talent retention as their top challenge, amid a sharp rise in attrition, job-switching intent, and employee disengagement.
With demand for niche skills like AI, Machine Learning, and Cloud Computing creating a surge in the need for specialised talent, organisations are facing intense competition to attract and retain top professionals, making it increasingly difficult for GCCs to hold on to their talent.
Aditya Narayan Mishra, Managing Director and CEO of CIEL HR, said, "India hosts over 1,700 GCCs, nearly 50% of all GCCs worldwide, highlighting the country's pivotal role in global innovation and high-value delivery. Over time, GCCs have transformed from cost-efficiency centres into strategic engines for their respective parent entities, and at the same time, they drive economic growth, job creation, and regional development for India."
However, he added rising attrition and talent mobility demand a decisive shift from transactional approaches to holistic employee engagement.

India-based GCCs emerge as global hubs for complex tax operations: Deloitte
New Delhi [India], June 14 (ANI): Global companies are now using their India-based Global Capability Centres (GCCs) to run complex tax operations, covering corporate tax, indirect tax, transfer pricing, and litigation, according to a whitepaper report released by Deloitte, a multinational professional services firm. The whitepaper said that GCCs in India have emerged as strategic hubs for tax-related functions, offering a unique blend of expertise, technology and cost efficiency. 'GCCs have become an integral part of the global tax ecosystem, providing organisations with a competitive edge in managing their tax functions,' Deloitte's white paper, titled Transforming Global Tax Functions: The GCC Advantage, added. The Indian GCC landscape has witnessed significant growth, with many organisations establishing their tax Centres of Excellence (CoEs) in the country, according to the paper, which was prepared by Manisha Gupta, Partner, Deloitte India. Global Capability Centres, or GCCs, also known as captive centres or in-house centres, are strategically located facilities established by multinational corporations (MNCs) to provide specialised functions and services to their parent organisations. The report adds that about 76 per cent of participants indicated they already undertake global tax processes from India. 'As more organisations pursue centralising tax functions, many have already established a tax CoE. The focus was on key tenets and building blocks to establish and expand a successful tax CoE,' the report added. India has emerged as a major destination for the global players. As per the official data, India is home to over 1,700 GCCs, employing 1.9 million professionals and generating USD 64.6 billion in revenue as of 2024. Key GCC hubs are located in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, Mumbai, and the National Capital Region (NCR). The sector is projected to expand to USD 105 billion by 2030, with around 2,400 GCCs employing over 2.8 million people, solidifying India's role as a global hub for enterprise operations and innovation. With 40 per cent of digital transformation projects in GCCs, India is now a center for high-value technology-driven solutions. GCCs emerging from different geographies, viz., Germany, the UK, Japan, and Nordic countries, is another significant development observed in recent years. A significant shift towards diversification of operations, with evolution towards higher value services, is seen as GCCs in India transition from data processing to knowledge processing over the years.

US firms hit record office leasing volumes in India, Bengaluru, Hyderabad lead in growth: JLL
New Delhi [India], June 14 (ANI): US-based companies achieved record-breaking office leasing volumes in India during the period from 2022 to Q1 2025, with 2024 marking the highest annual activity ever recorded, according to global real estate firm JLL. The report highlighted that US-origin Global Capability Centers (GCCs) have played a major role in this growth, accounting for over two-thirds of all US corporate leasing in India. This strong presence reflects India's growing importance in long-term business strategies of American firms. JLL said 'US firms achieved record-breaking office leasing volumes in India during 2022-Q1 2025.... US-origin Global Capability Centers (GCCs) dominate with over two-thirds share of all US corporate leasing' Technology remains the leading sector for US occupier activity in India. However, the report also noted that GCCs in the Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) sector, as well as those focused on manufacturing, have shown the strongest growth in leasing activity. This points to a shift in India's value proposition, expanding beyond traditional IT services to more diversified capabilities. According to JLL, Bengaluru has reinforced its status as the top choice for US companies, accounting for 35 per cent of all leasing activity by American firms between 2022 and Q1 2025. The city, often called India's Silicon Valley, has evolved into a multi-sectoral hub with growing leasing interest from not only tech firms but also manufacturing, financial services, and e-commerce GCCs. Hyderabad and Delhi NCR followed Bengaluru as the second and third most attractive markets for US occupiers, while Chennai and Pune also saw notable activity. From 2017 through Q1 2025, US occupiers have consistently maintained a dominant 34.2 per cent share of India's total office leasing market. The momentum remained strong into Q1 2025, with leasing volumes matching the quarterly average seen in 2024. Interestingly, the report mentioned that Mumbai stood out as the only major metro where US-based BFSI GCCs have surpassed all other sectors in terms of leasing activity. This further strengthens Mumbai's reputation as the financial hub for American companies expanding global operations. The findings highlight India's rising prominence in the global office market, driven by sectoral diversification and the strong role of US firms in shaping the country's commercial real estate landscape.

GCC boom fuels US demand, US firms drive one-third of office demand in top Indian cities; Bengaluru leads office space race among top 7 cities
US-based companies have emerged as the single-largest contributors to India's office space demand in recent years, accounting for over one-third of gross leasing across the top seven cities between 2022 and 2024, according to data from real estate consultancy JLL India. During the three-year period, total office leasing across Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Pune stood at 190 million square feet. Of this, US firms alone leased 64.5 million sq ft, with nearly 70% of that space taken to establish or expand Global Capability Centres (GCCs), JLL said. 'India's combination of skilled talent at scale, supportive ecosystem, cost advantages and a growth-oriented policy environment continues to make it an increasingly attractive destination for US corporations looking to establish and expand their global capabilities,' said Rahul Arora, Head – Office Leasing & Retail Services and Senior Managing Director (Karnataka, Kerala) at JLL India, PTI reported. The data underlines sustained interest from US-based multinationals in India's technology hubs, led by Bengaluru, which continues to be the top choice for setting up GCCs. JLL noted that GCC-led requirements formed around 70% of all space demand from US occupiers, signalling strong long-term investment and positioning India as a key hub for R&D, technology and innovation. Technology and BFSI (Banking, Financial Services and Insurance) companies from the US are driving much of this office demand, according to JLL, reflecting a broader global shift towards centralising high-end service operations in India.
