GCCs drive surge in Indias reskilling market, attracting international interest
New Delhi [India], August 17 (ANI): India's reskilling market is witnessing accelerated growth, driven by the rapid expansion of Global Capability Centres (GCCs) across the demand for advanced digital and technical skills rises due to the emergence of GCCs, international players are increasingly focusing on Indian professional markets, top executives in reskilling and experts said, adding that investing in reskilling programmes has become a central part of the strategies of many global firms to keep their Indian teams skilled to global also known as Global In-house Centres (GICs) or Captive Centres, are fully owned and integrated hubs established by multinational corporations in talent-rich locations to build value and intellectual leverage global talent pools and technological advancements to enhance organisational capabilities and drive business the emerging trends, Amit Goyal, Managing Director, South Asia, Project Management Institute (PMI), which is a global non-profit professional membership association, said, 'In today's dynamic business environment, organisations are increasingly prioritising internal competencies through well-structured 'study-at-work' and upskilling initiatives. This marks a clear shift from the earlier 'individual-driven" learning model to a more strategic, 'organisation-led" approach."Goyal added that corporates are recognising that investing in employee development is not just a retention strategy but a competitive advantage.'Global Capability Centres (GCCs) are playing a pivotal role in this transformation. Many are actively sponsoring learning programmes to ensure their workforce is equipped with the critical skills required to stay relevant and drive innovation," PMI's South Asia Director said that most GCCs prefer having globally accredited certifications, as these help them establish benchmarks and compare their internal capabilities with global best Hemmigae, Managing Director, ANSR, highlighted that every GCC today recognises that upskilling, L&D, and well-defined career pathing are no longer 'good to have" but a true differentiator for attracting and retaining top talent.'Unlike traditional delivery roles, GCC careers are increasingly positioned as leadership tracks, where employees can see a clear pathway to senior, global, and cross-functional positions," said the MD of ANSR which specialises in helping businesses build and manage Global Capability Centres (GCCs).Citing the vast demand for reskilling activities, executives highlight that, among many reasons, the nascent stage of skilling is one of the key factors driving the emerging demand for reskilling programmes in Indian corporates.A report titled 'Skills for the Future: Transforming India's Workforce Landscape", developed by the Institute for Competitiveness, pointed out that data analysis based on PLFS shows that in 2023-24, 88 per cent of India's workforce is in low-competency occupations, while only 10-12 per cent are in high-competency PLFS (2023-24) data, five sectors which accounted for over 66 per cent of vocational training in India were identified. These sectors are IT and ITeS, Textile and Apparel, Electronics, Healthcare and Life Sciences, and Beauty and report added that industries need to be incentivised to recruit from a skill-certified talent pool and take accountability for creating market-aligned training, besides offering them higher Makhijani, Head of Tax (North India and Gujarat) at Roedl and Partner India, who closely works with foreign companies, also supported the trend, adding that many GCCs are partnering with universities and skilling platforms to ensure their India teams are ready for the future.'In my experience, the view of India as only a low-cost destination is changing quickly, especially for GCCs. While cost advantage still matters, most established companies now see India as a strategic talent hub. From the start, they are including plans for long-term upskilling, leadership development, and innovation in their India strategy. The aim is to build strong expertise, R&D capabilities, and end-to-end operational support," Makhijani are set to contribute 2 per cent of India's GDP and generate 2.8 million jobs by 2030, and are emerging as a key growth and employment generator, according to the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).With over 1700 GCCs in 2023-24, which is expected to rise to over 2200 by 2030, India has become the prominent destination for the MNCs to set up their Financial Year 2024, GCCs generated approximately USD 64.6 billion in export revenue: a 40 per cent increase from USD 46 billion in growth of GCCs in India is most prominent in Tier-1 cities, with Bengaluru leading the pack with 487 centres (29 per cent of India's total). Hyderabad follows closely with 273 GCCs (16 per cent), while the NCR region hosts 272 centres. Mumbai, Pune, and Chennai are also contributing significantly. (ANI)

GCCs as new talent engine: redefining the future workforce in India
Global Capability Centers (GCCs) have evolved far beyond their origins as cost-saving service hubs. Today, they are reshaping how global corporations build skills, nuture careers, and prepare leaders for an increasingly complex world. India alone is projected to host more than 2,500 GCCs by 2030, employing millions and generating billions in revenue. In this new landscape, GCCs are becoming the world's most dynamic laboratories for talent development. 'We are witnessing a fundamental shift - from transactional work to innovation-led leadership,' Dhaval Vasavada, Associate Director – Information, Data & Technology (IDT), Healthark, told The Hans India. Nowhere is this more visible than in life sciences, where GCCs in states like Telangana are training talent in AI, data analytics, and digital health at a global standard, he added. Dhaval has over 20 years of experience in delivering analytics projects across IT services, product companies and GCCs. From training to transformation Traditional corporate learning models typically serve immediate business needs in home markets. GCCs, however, operate with a future-focused mandate. Over 40 per cent of new GCCs in India are chartered primarily for AI/ML, while more than 70 per cent of existing centers are expanding their AI teams. This positionsIndia not just as a source of skilled manpower, but as a central player in global AI innovation. Diversity is also receiving sharper attention. Women already make up 35 per cent of India's GCC workforce, with targets set to reach 40 per cent by 2027. In life sciences, 85 per cent of GCCs are located in emerging market hubs, forming dense clusters of expertise that spread knowledge worldwide. Industry + Government: The GCC Edge Unlike traditional training programs, GCC talent development thrives on active collaboration between industry and government. Telangana's Life Sciences & Healthcare GCC Consortium which brings together 40 multinational firms has become a template for joint skill-building initiatives. Similarly, Karnataka's GCC policy aims for 100,000 digitally certified professionals in areas like cloud computing, cybersecurity, and analytics. In Hyderabad, the Telangana Academy for Skill and Knowledge (TASK) works with tech giants to train students in AI, full-stack development, and data science. Recent partnerships, such as with Cisco for advanced digital-skills programs, ensure these efforts are tied directly to hiring pipelines. Building Specialised Skills for a Complex Future Advanced technologies, shifting regulations, and global uncertainty demand a workforce with both deep technical skills and cross-disciplinary insight. In life sciences, this means expertise in pharmacovigilance, regulatory compliance, and biostatistics integrated with AI, cloud, and data analytics. GCCs bridge this gap faster than universities can adapt, by embedding industry-designed programs into their talent pipelines. Creating Tomorrow's Leaders The most forward-looking GCCs are cultivating leadership through innovative models: N'2 in a Box' Roles – Shared leadership positions between the parent company and GCC, ensuring seamless transfer of responsibilities. NGlobal Process Owners (GPOs) – Leaders overseeing core business processes worldwide, trained for cost-effectiveness, cultural fluency, and strategic ownership. NWomen Leadership Circles – structured mentoring and coaching to propel high-potential women into senior roles. These initiatives go beyond filling roles - they cultivate global innovation leaders The Road Ahead GCCs are now nerve centers for building the future workforce especially in sectors like life sciences where complex, interdisciplinary skills are in short supply. But, as Vasavada cautions, this momentum will only hold if training evolves as quickly as the world changes: 'Adaptability, not routine, will define success. With the right policies and partnerships, GCCs can shape not just talent pipelines, but the next generation of industry leaders. In the race to prepare for the future, GCCs aren't simply keeping pace, they're setting it,' said Vasavada.
