3rd Annual Global Capability Centres India Summit 2026


As Global Capability Centres (GCCs) continue to evolve from traditional cost and service delivery hubs into strategic engines of innovation, technology and enterprise transformation, organizations are entering a new phase of GCC growth. With increasing ownership of digital products, AI-led transformation, global processes and business-critical capabilities, GCC leaders are under growing pressure to create measurable enterprise value while building future-ready organizations. The next frontier will demand more than scale-it will require technology leadership, talent reinvention, innovation ecosystems, operational resilience and stronger ownership of global business outcomes.

With India already hosting over 1,700 GCCs and the market projected to reach approximately US$110 billion by 2030, GCCs are increasingly taking ownership of AI, digital products, engineering, global processes and business-critical transformation.

The 3rd Annual Global Capability Centers India 2026 will bring together senior GCC leaders, technology heads, transformation executives and business decision-makers to explore the next frontier of GCC growth. The conference will focus on AI-native operating models, human-AI collaboration, strategic value creation, future-ready talent, technology architecture, startup partnerships, Tier-2/3 expansion, data governance and global ownership.
