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," 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 $64.6 billion in export revenue: a 40 per cent increase from $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).

Beyond Compensation: The New Currency of Talent Attraction and Retention
Join the community of 2M+ industry professionals. Subscribe to Newsletter to get latest insights & analysis in your inbox. All about ETHRWorld industry right on your smartphone! Download the ETHRWorld App and get the Realtime updates and Save your favourite articles. 'Beyond Compensation " is about recognizing that salary alone doesn't secure or retain top talent anymore. Talent is looking for a holistic value proposition — one that includes purpose, culture flexibility , recognition, and well-being. In my view, it's about creating a meaningful work environment where people feel valued and inspired. Today's workforce, especially in India, is increasingly seeking alignment with an organization's values and leadership vision, alongside opportunities for growth. This shift reflects a deeper evolution in the Employee Value Proposition, where tangible and intangible benefits together drive compensation matters, factors like recognition, career progression, flexibility, and mental well-being support often tip the scale. At Randstad , we see time and again that meaningful recognition, whether it is public acknowledgment or private appreciation, creates a strong sense of belonging. Structured career development programs and upskilling opportunities are equally powerful in building loyalty. Flexible work arrangements allow employees to design their work-life balance, and mental health initiatives reinforce that we value them as whole individuals, not just as job roles or resources. These elements, when combined, can outweigh pay differences in talent attraction and retention Z is redefining the talent landscape. They seek immediate feedback, purpose-led work, flexibility, and mental health support as non-negotiables. We've noticed that they value transparency in leadership and want to feel a direct connection to the organization's mission. In India, progressive employers are responding with innovative approaches from 'silent hours' that encourage work-life balance to peer recognition platforms that build community. Gen Z thrives on authenticity and expects personalised career paths, so a one-size-fits-all approach no longer works. Employers who adapt to these needs will have a clear advantage in attracting and retaining this emerging talent all three are critical, flexibility has the most tangible impact on retention. It empowers talent to manage their work and personal lives in a way that suits them best. Flexibility fosters trust, autonomy, and job satisfaction, which directly reduce turnover rates. In today's hybrid and remote work landscape, offering flexibility signals that the employer respects the individual's time and needs. It's the practical, day-to-day experience of flexibility that makes it such a powerful retention tool. Having said that, a healthy organizational culture and a sense of purpose among talent are critical for employers to emerge as talent a competitive market, the smartest employers are innovating beyond pay hikes. We're seeing companies offer hyper-personalised career growth opportunities, flexible work arrangements, and enhanced recognition programs. Some are focusing on well-being benefits from mental health support to lifestyle allowances that resonate deeply with talent. These strategies create long-term loyalty without the cost implications of unreasonable salary inflation. In fact, in several cases, such tailored benefits have proven to be stronger differentiators than marginal salary increases, especially for younger and mid-career professionals who value growth and work has shifted the power dynamic. Talent now expects greater autonomy over where, when, and how they work. Flexibility has become a key competitive advantage, enabling organizations to tap into wider talent pools and improve retention. Autonomy fosters ownership, creativity, and accountability, while flexibility supports well-being and productivity. In our experience, when talent has a say in designing their workday, engagement and loyalty naturally increase. Hybrid isn't just a location model; it's a cultural shift that priorities outcomes over hours, which aligns well with the expectations of today's who focus only on pay risk are missing the emotional and cultural aspects that truly bind talent to an organization. Without a strong work culture, career growth opportunities, and well-being initiatives, they may face higher attrition, disengagement, and reputational challenges. In a market where, intrinsic motivators are increasingly important, a salary-heavy strategy can be easily outmatched by employers offering a more holistic Employee Value Proposition. Over time, this approach can erode brand loyalty, making it harder to attract and retain high-performing build a culture of recognition and psychological safety. Talent must feel valued and safe to share ideas. Second, invest in growth opportunities through upskilling, reskilling, and clear career progression pathways. Third, embed flexible and empathetic work models that cater to diverse life stages and needs, from hybrid options to mental health support. Together, these strategies create a resilient, attractive workplace that appeals across generations. They also future-proof the organization against talent shortages, as employees are more likely to stay when their holistic needs are the next five years, the currency of talent will extend well beyond monetary compensation. Purpose-driven work, professional development, flexibility, and holistic well-being will dominate the value equation. As AI reshapes roles and hybrid work becomes the norm, employees will seek trust, autonomy, and opportunities to grow in meaningful ways. Employers that can authentically deliver on these expectations will not only attract top talent but also retain them through periods of rapid change. It's about building workplaces where people want to stay, grow, and contribute at their best.
