India is the most mature market for Global Capability Centres (GCCs), with 44 per cent of GCCs transitioning to take on end-to-end portfolio ownership, drive innovation and peer collaboration with global roles. Initially set up to save costs and help organisations with their business functions, Global Capability Centres (GCCs) have significantly made their presence felt in India. Today, the country is home to over 1,950 such centres established by top multinational corporations, to serve the global and regional market with more efficiency, according to JLL survey. According to the JLL survey, there are 245+ million sq ft Grade A stock occupied by GCCs in the top 7 cities, ~75 per cent combined share of manufacturing, IT/ITeS & BFSI. 71 per cent of all GCC demand since 2018 has been from US-headquartered firms. 40 per cent of overall office leasing activity accounted for by GCCs between 2018-2024. Global Capability Centres are set to surpass 300 million sqft in the next 3-4 years, driven by new entries and expansions. 100+ GCCs entered India in the last two years alone. 28 million sq ft of leasing by GCCs in 2024 has been reported, highest ever in a year. The 3/4th share of Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai in space leased by Global Capability Centres in last two years. 75 per cent combined share of manufacturing, IT/ITeS & BFSI 71 per cent of all GCC demand since 2018 from US-headquartered firms. India is home to the largest number of GCCs globally (over 1,950). This is significantly more than other popular destinations like the Philippines, Poland or China. India has developed strong capabilities in digital technologies and their adoption. High impact areas like AI, blockchain, data analytics, cloud computing and cyber security are at the core of GCC operations in India. India's technology industry expanded its 58-lakh strong workforce by 1.2 lakhs in 2024-25, with Global Capability Centres accounting for over 1 lakh of these roles. The rise of new-age technologies will result in more digital-savvy professionals as the tech sector grows on to become $300 billion industry in FY 2025-26. These centres help centralise and standardise certain functions of the parent organisation. They provide several services, like finance, HR, IT, and procurement, at one place, thereby improving efficiency and lowering costs. Focused on research and development, these centres are innovation hubs for new products, technologies, and processes. Normally, R&D centres are oriented towards a particular field where the parent organisation has shown high levels of expertise and specialisation. These centres are meant to help organisations remotely share information. They are responsible for collating and disseminating knowledge within the organisation and across geographies. Focused on creating a hub for ideas, innovation centres foster innovation and creativity with opportunities for collaboration. These centres are where companies can develop new ideas, conduct research, and build prototypes. They offer a range of services to assist customers in any way possible. They are usually responsible for managing customer inquiries, complaints, and feedback. There are several Indian cities that are considered ideal for a GCC due to their strong infrastructure, skilled workforce, and favourable business environment. For example: Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi-NCR, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Pune. Based on the type of GCC companies are looking to establish, service requirements may vary. There is a need to choose services that best match the functions and operations of the centre. Some common services include legal and regulatory compliance, real estate, technology, human resources, financial support, support services and transportation and logistics. In a world driven by cutting-edge technology, it is important for global capability centres to create a truly tech-savvy office space. The innovation hub needs to keep pace with the digital age and set a standard for the future of work. The landscape of global capability centres is rapidly evolving. Today, it's not just about cost efficiency; it's about building resilient, innovative, and talent-centric hubs. My parents gifted me a residential property in Mumbai. I hold another unit besides some equity. How to minimise tax liability if I wish to sell the unit? Sunil Prabhu, Sharjah. Generally, when you sell a residential property, one option is you can reinvest the capital gain amount into another residential unit before one year from the date or sale or within two years. In case it is invest in a project undergoing construction, the period can be extended to three years. If not wished to reinvest, the capital gain upto Rs 50 lakh can be reinvested in designated bonds. As far as equity is concerned, you can invest the entire sale proceeds into a residential property. I am based in Gulf and investing in a project in Bengaluru. Is GST applicable to all types of residential projects? Please clarify. Deepak Sinha, Dubai. The impact of GST on residential property depends on the phase of construction, the location as well as the type of project. For example, GST impact will be observed more in case of new launches as compared to near completion projects. Similarly, projects in suburban areas will be more impacted when compared to city-centre projects.

'Inspired by eagle shape': How 20cm-long F1 car hit 80kmph on Yas Marina track
A group of students from a Dubai school are making waves ahead of the F1 in Schools™ UAE National Finals with a miniature racing machine that blends smart engineering with real-world racing inspiration. Their car, designed and built entirely by the student team known as Team Founders, is a sleek aerodynamic marvel and it's built for one thing — speed, reaching up to 80kmph. The team's entry, developed under the rigorous guidelines of the F1 in Schools™ competition, is powered by a single 8-gram CO₂ cartridge. When launched, it sprints down a 20m track in just over a second. Hannan Ali, head of enterprise at Team Founders, a six-member team, shared insights into the team's design process, as they gear up for the international STEM competition. He said, 'The dimensions of the car are about 209mm long, 61mm wide and 70mm tall in accordance with the regulations. Additionally, the car weighs 50.1g which is just above the minimum weight,' said the Year 12 student at GEMS Founders School - Al Barsha. 'The key factors that influenced our car's design were the minimisation of drag, reduction of friction in the wheel system, and overall stability. We took inspiration from nature — specifically the streamlined shape of an eagle — as well as winning F1 in Schools teams and real-world motorsports like F1 and NASCAR.' To bring their concept to life, the team turned to professional-grade tools. The car was fully designed in Fusion 360, a powerful 3D CAD/CAM software platform widely used in the engineering industry. They then ran simulations in Ansys CFD, a leading computational fluid dynamics tool that helped them fine-tune the car's aerodynamic profile. 'Ansys gave us incredibly realistic data,' said Hannan. 'With guidance from NIO engineers, we were able to navigate complex simulations and refine our design to a professional standard.' For fabrication, the team followed competition regulations by machining the car body out of polyurethane modeling foam. To further enhance performance, they used ceramic bearings, which offered lower rolling resistance compared to traditional options. But it's their 'Dual Bearing System' that truly sets this car apart. 'We use two different bearings per wheel — one between the axle and wheel, and another between the axle and support,' said Hannan. 'This dramatically reduces energy loss and improves race time. It's our most innovative feature to date.' Assembly was just as meticulous as the design and fabrication stages. The team employed custom 3D-printed alignment jigs to ensure everything was perfectly placed. They also went through multiple rounds of sanding, painting, and bonding to create a car that looks as fast as it moves. 'Each step took days of refinement,' Hannan said. 'Achieving the required balance, smoothness, and regulatory compliance isn't just about aesthetics; it directly affects speed and performance.' Testing at Yas Marina Circuit Testing their car at the Yas Marina Circuit, the team had the rare opportunity to trial their creation on an official F1 in Schools™ racetrack. The experience not only validated their engineering work but also connected them with local experts and officials. 'Testing at Yas Marina was a highlight, not just for performance validation, but for the incredible feedback and encouragement we received.' The journey hasn't been without its challenges. Mastering industry-standard tools, ensuring millimeter-precision, and innovating within strict competition rules demanded relentless effort and adaptability. 'Every fraction of a millimeter counts,' said Hannan. 'We had to innovate constantly to remain compliant and competitive.'
